Capturing a Snowy Day in Amsterdam
I can’t remember seeing so much snow in our Dutch capital city of Amsterdam before. Yesterday afternoon, snow started falling out of the sky for hours and hours without stopping. Since I was already in Amsterdam, I took the opportunity of trying to document the atmosphere. The scene lasted for only a few hours before it started to rain in the evening.
I also brought my Sony a7R III camera. The new camera performed great and didn’t even use half of the battery while shooting hours in freezing temperatures. The camera was often covered with snow yet had zero problems the whole day. The only one having issues was me. I wasn’t really prepared for this weather and got my wet feet — I froze my feet and hands off, but it was all worth it in the end.
Here are some of my photos from the day:
Needless to say, this was a unique experience. Seeing so much snow in Amsterdam is extremely rare and I am very happy to have captured this in both photos and videos.
