Steem Meet-up in Rotterdam and Photografic Expedition
It was a shame I couldn't go to Steemfest. I've been told I missed a lot. Lots of quality information, inspiring people and most of all: The real faces of a person I've been chatting with for weeks. This time @guchtere and @soyrosa invited me to a meetup in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
A meeting for Dutchies and anyone else capable of coming to Holland. The invitation was set for 15:00 o'clock so @guchtere and I decided to make it a full day and leave early for a nice day with our camera's.
Rotterdam in the afternoon
We arrived somewhere around noon and the wheather learned us it wasn't going to be a sunny day. A boring grey sky gave the concrete buildings an even less interesting look. Architecture is definitely not my style, but the afternoon promised to ask my full imagination and creativity to shoot a photo. After walking for many km's and many attempts I can say that have exactly one photo I'm half proud of... The night turned out to be a lot better (see R'dam by night).

Meet up
With even more rain to come, we planned our route to the bar where we'd meet with all the other Steemians @exyle, @s3rg3, @soyrosa, @brittandjosie (thanks for the photo's), @pundito, @hans001, @tonyz, @arcange, @detlev, @route-m-d and @buzzbeergeek.
I had a great time where I heard about the stories of a young couple from Poland traveling all over the world but choose to live in the Netherlands for half a year. And I had a beer recommendation for the famous @detlev which he loved. St. Bernardus Tripel. I haven't spoken to everyone unfortunately, but I'll promise I make it up to the rest of you another time

Thanks for the good times and thanks for organising @soyrosa. See you all next time.
R'dam by night
To complete our day we still had to find a good spot to shoot photo's. When in the dark, my favorite style of photography comes in hand, longexposure. For this I don't want to spent any words. Just take a look and let me know what you think. O and know that I can handle critism very well. With feedback I hope to become a better photographer every time.

The picture your proud of that must be the one where I'm sitting on my knee! I'm sure 🤣
No serious had a great day, thanks for joining me! Going out on a photowalk together is something I always enjoy. I agree the night was better, WAY better than during daylight while it was raining like cats and dogs...
Hang loose 🤙
It was great to meet you in person and many thanks for the beer.
The picture from that bridge is awesome.
Hope to see you soon again the next meetup or at any brewery. ;-)

I'm sooooo happy you came to the meet-up and had a great time in 'my' city! :D Hope to see you many more times and we can actually have some more time to talk :-) Thanks @guchtere for bringing this guy!
As for the photos, I've actually seen 'all' of the pics you can make in Rotterdam :') Like really. Working for a journalist platform as a photographer, being part of the artist community here and as a street photographer myself hosting street photography walks through my city... There's almost no-one that surprises me with shots of Rotterdam unfortunately. I should however get to know your work a little better and maybe come up with ideas that are actually both very 'Rotterdam' and suit your style - if you'd be interested in that :-)
I still have an open invite to elevate the Erasmusbrug though and shoot from above! :D Maybe an opportunity to get some 'new views' myself quite literally?
I'll be interested for sure! That going on top of the bridge sounds exquisite! Let us know when you go!
Ok Thats a great idea we want to the pictures of you both
Meet up what a great experience I wish we could make one in Italy too!!

Why don't you create one? Think @soyrosa can serve you some tips and I think she can even help you locating some Steemians in your area. Am I right @soyrosa?
Hehe yes you're right @guchtere! Contact me on Discord @noemilunastorta of you want to organize a meet-up yourself <3
If your having one in Italia, I expect an invite as well😉🥂🌅
