Two days ago my mom, my oldest brother and I went to the Nieuwkoopse Plassen for a boat trip.
We hired a small silent motorboat with which we could enter the area.
My brother and I both had our camera with us so we shot quite some photos together, mostly for practice and some for sheer fun.

I quickly came to realize that it’s not that easy to take photos from a moving boat. Whenever I saw something interesting to try and make a photo of I had to be really quick to get it right.
The boat going up and down was also something which turned out to be quite annoying. Sometimes the subject was a lot more to the bottom of the photo then I wanted and sometimes it was just blurry because of sudden movement.

It was a very nice afternoon though and since we spent about 4 hours in that boat I also had plenty of time to just relax and lie around (like a pirate who doesn’t do anything).
Some of the photos I made turned out quite well, so I would like to show a few of these to you.
