I was making a picture at the "hofvijver" in The Hague. From a certain perspective I got a great view on the lovely old "Grote of Sint-Jacobskerk (Great, or St. James church). It is a Protestant church and the building is located in the "Torenstraat", named for the high tower. Together with the characteristic Binnenhof, it is one of the oldest buildings in the Hague.

Photography Tips

Make sure you bring your tripod when shooting night scapes. Use longer shutter times, low ISO and shoot on Manual. Do not forget to turn off your vibration reduction! It will not work with you but against you when using the tripod.
