As usual, we are indulging in our various shared passions, including cycling, photography and Belgian beer. Lars is both a better cyclist and photographer than me, and he always comes with a new project. This time it is one he calls ?take 5?; basically, he picks interesting locations, puts his camera on a tripod, sits down on a portable stool and makes a 5 minute exposure (obviously, using appropriate ND filters to make this possible). The results can be quite interesting, depending on the moving and non-moving elements in the image. Yesterday afternoon, we drove to a secluded beach near Villajoyosa, and Lars made a couple of selfies in this manner, and also a couple of photos of me, one of which is this one: http://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-5jSrWQc/A As is obvious from this image, sitting still for 5 minutes is not easy, especially with a strong wind blowing at you.
