Vlietlanden: long-exposure reflections near Voorschoten

Vlietlanden: long-exposure reflections near Voorschoten

I chose the Vlietlanden near Voorschoten for an evening of long-exposure photography. The Noord-AA was too crowded, so I looked a little further from home for a quieter setting.

Construction work limited the available views, but eventually I found a composition with enough structure to anchor the foreground. Longer exposures flattened the water and strengthened the reflections.

I also experimented with Sony’s Smooth Reflections app. It worked well for the effect I wanted, although the process became much slower as the light faded. The session was as much about learning the technique as finding the location.
