he clock struck midnight on Saturday. In just 13 hours, my partner and I were due to fly to Kenya with KLM for a work trip, but we still hadn’t received the results of our coronavirus test.
Our travel agent told us that we would need a negative PCR coronavirus certificate before travel, so we set about finding a test centre in the Netherlands where we are based.
There are many private healthcare companies offering PCR tests, and a quick Google led us to HetHuisartslab. A test, with a certificate, would cost €79 (£71) per person. If the test was completed before 3pm that day, the results would be sent through before midnight the following day: a 36-hour turnaround.
However, a couple of things were concerning from the outset. For one, we had to pay upfront and the only form of payment was through PayPal or via a Dutch bank account.
The online form was also very time-consuming to fill out and several times we lost the information we had plugged in when we clicked a link to read a disclaimer. We managed to make an appointment after our fourth attempt.
The test centre was located inside a small Portakabin next to a children’s playground in the town of Lelystad, around 55km from Amsterdam. It was very quiet and I joked that it was probably because the website form was such a chore to fill out.
When we arrived for our test we reiterated to the nurse that we needed the results to come through the next day and she said this would be no problem. For extra peace of mind, we took her mobile phone number and she said she could help us if there was a problem.
The test was pretty unpleasant, with a long cotton bud pushed into our nose.
But by midnight the following day, we hadn’t received our results. I had a very bad feeling we would miss our flight.
The following morning, with just hours to go before our flight, we emailed HetHuisartslab, as there was no telephone number on the website. We called the nurse, who said that she was very sorry but there was nothing she could do. We then filled out a ‘delayed results’ form on the HetHuisartslab website to prompt some action but no joy.
Luckily, our travel agent was able to move our flight and hotel reservations to Monday for free.
Delayed coronavirus test results have been a problem globally, leading to travellers not being able to make their flights
Eventually, our results came through via email on Saturday night: negative.
But because our flights were rebooked for Monday and we were tested on Thursday, the results were out of date. PCR tests have to be done 72 hours before arrival, and we would need to redo it. HetHuisartslab offered no refund, apology or option of redoing the test.
Following such a bad experience with the lab, we found a more reliable and user-friendly website, Coronalab.eu. The test was easy to book and payment was taken after the test. This firm promises a 24-hour turnaround and there are 11 locations in the Netherlands.
Our experience with HetHuisartsLab left a bitter taste but it appears I am not alone: delayed coronavirus test results have been a problem globally, leading to travellers not being able to make their flights.
According to a UK Government report around NHS Test and Trace, an IT systems failure at one of the laboratories resulted in a delay to the processing of results between 30 July and 5 August.
This meant that only 43.6 per cent of test results from home-testing kits and satellite test centres were received within the 48-hour window recommended by public health experts to effectively stall the virus’s spread and conduct contact tracing.

In the US, a nationwide poll of almost 20,000 people by Harvard University, Northeastern University, Northwestern University and Rutgers University revealed similar issues with test turnarounds. People who had been tested for the virus in July reported an average wait time of around four days and, overall, about 10 per cent of people reported waiting 10 days or more.
When I Googled HetHuisartsLab, taking some time to read reviews rather than booking in haste – it has a 2.7 rating out of five on Google – I discovered travellers who had had the same experience and complained of delayed results.
Ankie Renique, who works as a medical translator in the Netherlands, is one such traveller. Her results (negative) came in 15 hours too late and she missed her holiday to Zakynthos in Greece in August.
She explains: “I did manage to rebook my trip to Greece a fortnight later but no one ever got in touch to apologise.
“I discovered that the company’s social media pages including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn had been taken down and I realised from investigating online that they have ruined many people’s plans.
“I would never use the company again. Luckily the rules changed for Greece before my next flight so I didn’t need to get another PCR test.”
On Google reviews, MissMissy1969 says: “Like many other the same bad experience with the lab. The say results within 16/24 hours mine came after 53 hours! Terrible service [sic].”
And Mark Stewart vented after his experience with HetHuisartsLab: “DO NOT GET A CORONA TEST DONE HERE!!!!! Allowed 48 hours between testing and flight. Was assured of results following day between 15:00 – 00:00. Did not arrive. MISSED FLIGHT. No one picked up phone or email. Returned next day to testing centre. Five other people were also here in same predicament [sic].”
But amid the negative feedback, there are some glowing reviews of the lab, with Lely1992 stating “the service was great” and h maamri adding: “Maybe it depends which centre you go to. I went to the new one in Kanaleneiland (Utrecht) a few days after it opened. There was no line at all, the staff was very friendly and I got the results in less than 24 hours.”
I contacted HetHuisartsLab and its parent company U-Diagnostics for comment on its testing protocols, but have not received a response.
With Covid-19 certificates becoming increasingly necessary for international travel, there are ways you can check if companies offering them are legitimate.
In the UK, there’s the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (Ukas). Many of the PCR testing centres state their Ukas accreditation on their websites, and it is possible to look them up on the Ukas website.
It’s worth nothing that the NHS Covid testing system should not be used by those requiring a negative result in order to travel. NHS FitForTravel says on its website: “Covid-19 testing for the purposes of international travel is not available on the NHS. Pre-travel COVID-19 tests may be available in the private sector, however, private testing processes and accuracy of results may vary. This should be discussed with the test provider before payment.”
A spokesperson from Action Fraud, the UK’s national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime, warns travellers to be vigilant.
Be sure that the company you’re paying is legitimate and that the payment is for genuine services
“Criminals have been using the pandemic as a way to trick victims into parting with their money, personal information, or buying goods or services that don’t exist,” they say.
“If you require a coronavirus test to travel, always do your research before handing over your money and look at reviews of the company you are buying your test from.
“Be sure that the company you’re paying is legitimate and that the payment is for genuine services. Always remember to stop and think, it could protect you and your money.
“Contact your bank immediately if you think you’ve fallen victim to a scam and report it to Action Fraud.”
The ordeal with the PCR testing taught me that it’s important to research the centre properly beforehand.
In the end, we made it to Kenya safely with our negative tests to hand from Coronalab.eu. The sunshine felt even more deserved after the worry of missing out on our trip completely.
How to make sure your PCR test is legit
Check with the FCDO whether the destination you want to travel to requires a negative PCR test before arrival.
Check reviews of the company online and on social media.
Make sure there is a way of contacting the company to chase up your results – via telephone preferably.
Some countries, such as Barbados, specify the accreditation body that tests must be certified by; check this beforehand.
Pay for the test with your credit card, which offers some protection for purchases over £100 under Section 75.

I hear photographers so often say things like “you don’t really need filters for seascape photography”. And, while I don’t disagree – sure, you can make photos without filters – there are a lot of things you just can’t do in seascape photography if you don’t have filters.
In this post, I’m going to walk you through the four filters I find absolutely invaluable for this type of photo-making. And while there are a lot of “photoshop tricks” there are some things you just need filters for.
Types of Filters
You can see all the camera equipment I use over on my camera gear page. What you don’t see is how often I use each piece of gear. If I did, filters would be up at the top with the camera body itself. I almost always have a filter on my lens – no matter what type of photography. I mean, I even use them when I’m doing sport or street photography. With seascape photography, I don’t know how I’d live with out them.
There are 4 types of filters I use almost every seascape photo shoot:
ND Filters
Graduated ND Filters
Reverse Grad ND Filters
Polarizers.
ND Filters
Let’s start by talking about ND filters in general.
ND refers to Neutral Density. Meaning it’s a densely coloured piece of glass that’s meant to be neutral in colour (grey). Essentially, it’s sunglasses for your camera. It reduces the amount of light that makes it to your camera’s sensor.
In seascape photography, the main goal of reducing the light to the sensor is to be able to slow down the shutter speed, allowing for longer exposure images.
The most common ND filters are 3, 6, and 10 stops. Which means, for example, that if you normally had an exposure of 1/100th of a second, the NDs would allow you to slow the shutter speed to 1/13, 0.6, and 10 seconds respectively.
No ND Filter Used – 1/20sec. 10-stop ND Used – 30sec.
Grad ND Filters
A grad ND filter is a piece of glass that is coated half as an ND and half clear. The goal of a grad ND filter is to even out the light in scenes that might have a bright and dark part. Around sunrise and sunset, this is almost always the case – with the sun still lighting the sky, but the landscape in the shade.
The term “grad” refers to the gradient in the filter. In general, there are 3 types of gradient: soft, medium, and hard. Those designations just mean how sharp the gradient between dark and bright is. If you have a hard line between the bright and dark part of an image, a hard grad will work best. But, if there are mountains, or other items in the middle of the transition, a soft grad is likely better.
Grad filters traditionally come in 1, 2, 3, and 4 stop varieties. However, I personally find the 1-stop grads to be pointless.
No Grad ND Used 4-stop medium grad ND used
Reverse Grad ND Filters
Very similar to regular grad ND filters, reverse grad NDs are split between dark and clear halves. The difference is that on a reverse grad, the “grad” is a hard line. Then, on the dark half of the filter the darkness of the filter gets gradually brighter towards the edge.
These types of filters are pretty niche and used most often in seascape photography to photograph setting or rising suns.
The reason you might want one is because while the sun is still in the sky, if you’re taking pictures right into it, the brightest part of the sky is the sun itself. Thus, putting the darkest part of the grad right on the sun and getting brighter above it makes for the most even exposure.
No grad ND filter used. 3-stop reverse grad ND filter used.
Polarizers
Like a pure ND filter, you can’t fake polarization in photoshop. As such, a polarizer is such a valuable piece of kit.
The whole point of a polarizer is to cut reflection. They can be used for a bunch of different things. They can make forests more green as they cut out the reflection on leaves. They can cut through the reflection on windows to let you see through. Or, they can be used to cut through the reflection on clear water to see what’s below.
In seascape photography, they’re used so often to cut the light reflection off the sea and allow the photo to show what’s below the water as well. They also cut reflection off of glistening rocks, making them more impactful subjects.
It’s a subtle difference, but look at the reflection on the rocks. Now, with a polarizer, the reflection is gone.
Square vs. Round Filters
Made with a 4-stop medium grad ND
When you’re buying filters, you have the choice between circular screw-on filters, or square filters. At first glace, the square filters seem bulky, and expensive. But, personally, I think they’re the way to go.
With round filters, you need to buy one filter for every thread size lens you have. So, if you only have 1 lens, it might make sense. But, if you have 4 different lenses, and they all have different thread sizes, it can get expensive. Moreover, it can get annoying as you’ll have to screw on and off the filter each time you change lenses. The square system uses an adapter that simply pops on and off the lens you’re using.
Round filters are also a bit tricky if you’re using graduate NDs. The line of the graduation will almost definitely be right in the middle of the lens, and doesn’t allow you to manipulate that.
It might seem like more of an investment up front – and it is – but in the long run the square filter systems will save you money and stress. I use the NiSi V6 system.
The Bare Minimum?
I get asked a lot about the bare minimum for filters. What is the absolute fewest filters I can get away with?
And while I do pack around 8-10 filters on any given day, I really do believe that you can really do anything you need with just 2 filters: a 6-stop ND, and a 3-stop medium grad ND. You might not get things perfect every time, but you’ll be within a stop or two, and should be able to make the adjustments otherwise in Lightroom.
Which Filter Brand?
I’m obliged to tell you that I’m a brand ambassador for NiSi Filters. I’ve been using them for a couple years now and I absolutely love them. One of my favourite things about them is they don’t seem to scratch as quickly. I’m not going to name and shame previous brands I used, but I used to end up with so many scratches on my filters. My NiSi ones definitely seem more scratch resistant.
I also love NiSi because of their wiliness to innovate with products like “The Switch“. So many filter brands have become content just putting glass in front of lenses. I feel like NiSi is still trying to create products that help us make better photos.
The opening in late October 2020 of Berlin’s extensive awaited new airport – nearly a ten years late – marks the close of an period for Tegel.
Couple airports have pretty that amazing retro experience of the primary hexagonal terminal at Berlin’s Tegel airport. Ignore the horrible muddle of outsized sheds which have disfigured Tegel in latest several years, as the airport struggled to cope with expanding passenger figures next the dismal failure of the airport authority to entire Berlin’s new airport on the other side of the metropolis.
For decades that unfinished new airport has made Berlin the butt of sharp remarks. But for lots of the silver lining in the cloud was that Tegel remained open extensive previous its projected closing date. Tegel was held in terrific affection by lots of citizens of West Berlin, for whom – particularly through the Chilly War decades – it symbolised independence and escape.
But Tegel was extra than that. In its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s, it was a design and style icon that underpinned strong messages about West Berlin. This was Germany’s 1st push-in airport. It was an journey that paid out homage as significantly to the auto as it did to the aeroplane.
Subsequent the development of the Berlin Wall in 1961, Tegel was 1 of two professional airports in isolated West Berlin. The other was Tempelhof, close to the city centre it noticed its final flights in 2008. Tegel, which opened in 1960, was really a lot larger sized than Tempelhof.
Tegel symbolized the fluid mobility of the West – it was an overstated retort to the grand boulevards of East Berlin. There was substantially talk in the western component of the town of Das Neue Berlin (“The new Berlin”), a phrase that located expression in bold architectural statements that performed up mobility. The endless swirl of site visitors all around Ernst Reuter Platz and the uninterrupted move of contemporary automobiles along the new city motorway both equally invited comparison with America.
But Tegel went additional, making ballet-like interactions between cars and trucks and planes. The highway from the coronary heart of Berlin sweeps north-west in excess of grand bridges, gliding into a tunnel – with planes taxiing higher than – to arise in the interior of an open hexagon where passengers could be dropped off proper at their departure gate. The wander from vehicle to aircraft was just a make any difference of a few metres.
It was all utterly cinematic, but the celebrated Tegel hexagon wasn’t a layout that stood the check of time. It wasn’t simple to develop, and in current years the formidable highways top to the airport have often been so clogged with visitors that driving to Tegel has misplaced its romance.
Berlin’s new airport opens on 31 October. It is situated on the south-eastern margins of the town, much from Tegel. It is in outcome a redevelopment and large enlargement of East Berlin’s airport at Schönefeld. Tegel will keep on being open up for just a week right after the new airport opens. Soon after Tegel closes, the web site will be redeveloped for residential and small business use.
But as the last aircraft climbs up from the runway at Tegel, there will be a lot of Berliners who will lose a tear at the demise of an airport that after experienced an unrivalled elegance and operation – even though in the latest several years it has as well generally seemed overcrowded and dysfunctional.

Here are some fruits that you may possibly have never ever viewed or read in advance of. How a lot of of them have you observed or read before ? Make sure you note that some of the fruits …
Italy’s president has pushed back at Boris Johnson‘s rationalization for Britain’s weak coronavirus reaction, noting that his citizens “also really like flexibility”.
Mr Johnson had instructed MPs this week that Britain was a “independence-loving nation” when requested why reduced Covid-19 an infection charges could be observed in Italy and Germany.
But the prime minister’s Tuesday remarks prompted ridicule and outrage overseas, where by reduced infection costs are a lot more very likely to be attributed to a working check-and-trace procedure.
Italy’s ANSA news company studies that Sergio Mattarella, the country’s president, reported: “We Italians also like freedom, but we also care about seriousness”.
He was asked about the key minister’s remarks all through a check out to Sardinia.
The British prime minister’s remarks, which appeared to connection the better Covid-19 reaction in Italy and German with their history of totalitarianism, sparked a debate in Italy.
On commentator in the Corriere della Sera newspaper wrote on Thursday: “In brief, if we place masks on right here much more than in London it is because we experienced Mussolini and not Churchill.”
Italy, which was strike earliest in the coronavirus outbreak, has viewed instances tick bigger in in the latest months but has so significantly managed to prevent a new surge of infections.
The United Kingdom has the highest formal Covid-19 dying toll in Europe, with 41,862. Italy is the 2nd-worst influenced with 35,758 fatalities recorded.
Denmark, Iceland and Slovakia have develop into the most recent trio of nations to be put on the government’s “no-go” record.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has taken out their quarantine exemption, which means that all arrivals to the United kingdom from those nations must self-isolate – unless they can get property by 4am on Saturday, 26 September.
The International Workplace has utilized the “double-lock”, warning from travel to these places as they are now regarded as “unacceptably significant risk”.
The latest figures from the European Centre for Disease Avoidance and Management (ECDC) demonstrate that the price of new infections for every 100,000 in seven times in Denmark has extra than doubled in the earlier 7 days.
Thursday’s figures clearly show a amount of 65. The British government’s threshold for implementing quarantine is 20, and the United kingdom alone is at 47.
Iceland has seasoned an even steeper rise in instances. In the four months from 19 August, it retained day by day new bacterial infections in single figures. But for the earlier week they have been working at an average of 40 for each day. With a population of scarcely a person-3rd of a million, the price for each 100,000 has risen to 80.
In accordance to the Iceland Overview, several circumstances have been traced to a pair of French vacationers who arrived to the place in mid-August. Just after they examined favourable for coronavirus they were being put into isolation, but broke rules.
The information web-site suggests that additional than 100 of the favourable infections discovered in the past week can be traced to the Irishman pub and Brewdog cafe in central Reykjavik.
Slovakia’s new infections have doubled in the three months between 2 and 23 September.
The Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao has also been positioned on the no-go checklist – though as it is impossible to access the British isles without transiting a country from which it is necessary to quarantine, that is mostly irrelevant.
No new exemptions ended up granted, even though Bulgaria has been regularly underneath the government’s threshold for weeks.
Due to the fact the UK’s amount of new bacterial infections has greater so swiftly, the federal government is in the odd place of warning holidaymakers not to vacation to Croatia on the grounds that the Covid-19 rates are way too substantial – even although bacterial infections are a single-3rd decreased than in Britain.
