About Me
- Jientje
- Antwerp, Belgium
- Welcome to the new, and improved version of Heaven in Belgium. I am Jientje. "Jientje", like the boys name Gene, followed by "chu"? "Gene-chu", that's how you pronounce my name. Yes!!!!That's it!! So now you know huh? I am an addicted blogger. I was born and raised and am still living in Belgium. Yeah, the "this-is- Tuesday-so-this-must-be-Brussels" kind of Belgium .. There, you see? Maybe you couldn't find it on the map, but at least I'm trying to change that a little by sharing lots of pictures. I really love to cook and create new things, like this blog for instance. I am a mother,a grandmothe and a wife too! They say I'm a traveler, and a photographer. Well that's just what they say, I love to make pictures, but I am far from professional ... If my English is not perfect, that would be because it's my second language. I do hope you'll forgive me any possible misspellings or strange vocabulary ... Now, as a result of all of the above, I get way too little sleep and my days are always much too short!

The Marina, In the Snow ...
I know I said I was going to make this a monthly theme, and I have posted photos of the marina only last week, but not publishing these would be a real shame! I took these last Saturday on my photo walk along the canal.

Monthly Theme: the Marina
We're finally getting a little bit of Winter here in Belgium. It's very cold and it snowed yesterday.
I know readers in Canada (and other countries with a cold climate) will probably laugh out loud when they see the amount of snow we had. I know, it's just a little sprinkling, a transparent layer, and it would have melted in two hours had it not been so cold. I went down to the marina this morning to take some pictures to use for my monthly theme and my fingers nearly froze off! My fingers were so numb I could not even push the shutter anymore!
View from the bridge
Even the seagulls look like they're cold!
I was busy taking pictures when suddenly this lady walked up from behind me. "This is going to be perfect for my monthly theme" I thought instantly, and quickly pushed the shutter.
So there ... my photo of the day, my new entry for Project 366 # 31
These photos were taken with my bridge camera, the Canon SX1 IS.
I'm planning on making this a monthly theme. I know it's not February yet, but hey... You can see my first post here.

The Little Harbor in my Village
This is #5 of my Project 366.
I took my Big Guy for a spin yesterday, because I needed to practice with the manual settings.
I felt I wanted to try to get out of my comfort zone (which is shooting in AV or aperture priority, I'm a real AV addict) by using manual settings only.
After three months of photography class, I'm still trying to get the knack of shutter speed, ISO and aperture and this little exercise helped me a lot.
I made seventeen photos before noon, but when I came home and looked at them, I was not really happy with what I got, so when the sun came out in the afternoon, I went back to make some more. I must have made about sixty or seventy then, all with the same view as the ones below. Some were overexposed or washed out, others were too dark, I kept changing the settings until I got it right. When I came home to edit them, I deleted the ones I was not happy with and ended up with these three pictures which I'm publishing below.
I think the first one is the lesser one and the last one is - very obviously to me -my favorite one.
What do you think?

I also think I want to make this view of the harbor a monthly theme in my Project 366.
I think it will be interesting to shoot a photo each month and see how the seasons change?
You know ... same view, same boats ... different weather, different light, different sky?
Hmmm, might be interesting, no?
