Where – Dijver 7, B-8000 Brugge

Room Number – 13X + 135

Best Shooting Light – mid morning & all afternoon

Shot With – Nikon d800 + Zeiss Distagon t* 15mm.

Camera Settings – 10mm, 1/280sec + f8 @ISO 200, crop to 16×9 ratio.

Shooting Notes – All rooms in floor looked suitable for these views. Shot mid-afternoon in January with some low-season foot traffic, a wide open view of De Dijver with Bourgogne De Flanders & De Orangerie generously adding to this stunning view of beautiful Brugge. Also a nice view of Sint Salvator's Cathedral and of course the pedestrian area flowing down the street, watch out for the flagpoles & lamps if shooting wide!

Room Notes – Classical decor with comfort and clean energy overflowing, definitely see the fine work of a significant overall refurbishment in 2016. While the 15th century windows are easily (but carefully!) opened and lovely to behold, be glad to know there's modern triple-glazed windows to significantly help to mute (somewhat considerable in season) sounds from traffic like horse carriages & foot traffic.
