13-09-04 Albert Cuypmarkt Amsterdam NL

It was a sunny day, unusually warm for September. +25°C guaranteed that people were wearing their shorts and skirts. Nice!
I needed this and that so I headed to the famous Albert Cuypmarkt in de Pijp area. I took literally dozens of photos there. For the 5minphoto task I sat down in one cafe, ordered a beer and started shooting around.
And the outcome: 21 photos to go, in chronological order.

13-07-10 Waterlooplein Amsterdam NL

While browsing and idling on the Waterlooplein flea market I finally started with the idea of 5 minute photos. I stopped in one corner and set my wristwatch timer on. Lens cap off from my Sony NEX-5N and off I went shooting... 
I went through the results, and here they are for you as well: 15 photos to go, in chronological order.
