Bruges Canal Scenes

[Stan]

We spent a few days in Bruges last week and what a beautiful city with great architecture and canals. Even in late September it was very busy so little chance of doing the main buildings photographic justice as early or late there was always either a tour bus or a dust cart to spoil the view so we concentrated on views of the canals and canal side dwellings. All shot either with a 17-85 EF-S or 10-22 EF-S on a 7D and hand held as although we took tripods (and all our other kit !!) it was too hot to drag them around all day long

Looks like a very pretty location, I have passed through Bruges but never had an opportunity to stop and look around.

Nice pics. Bruges is a lovely place to visit. We enjoyed a long weekend there last year.So much to see and do and photograph.

These are great photos Stan and you have done justice to a wondefrul place.
I believe that Bruges was actually "missed" by both world wars which is why there are so many beautiful buildings.

Re: Bruges Canal Scenes

The first photograph must be one of the most photographed locations. Got that one from a visit 12 years ago.

we did the standard canal trip - I was surprised that there were no other boats on the canals

The first photograph must be one of the most photographed locations.

you are right it is the most photographed location, just close to where the majority of the tourist boats start

Very nice images of what looks like a very nice location, even the weather was kind for you, the colours really "pop" when the sun shines like that.

Thanks Ray, Brian and Stephen

in fact out of the camera some of them were too vibrant and had to be de saturated slightly
