Winter impression

Winter impression


On february 1, by a really cold and windy morning without any exciting light or atmosphere i was walking in the rural landscape around my home, just breathing the air and freezing my hands.

I stopped in front of these little trees growing along the path and spent some time, playing with them and my camera.

Snowstorm impression in Valserine forest

Snowstorm in Valserine forest


One more of these few days in Haut Jura Natural Park at the end of last year.

From the house where we were staying, i had to walk in the deep fresh snow to come to this place. After all these years spent in Provence, i forgot how difficult but funny it could be. My tripod helped me more than once and not only to make images ...

That said, this photo was done hand held with moving the camera during the exposure and i really love this effect here.

Note :I've added this afternoon one new gallery dedicated to snow images on my french website.

Snow on the branches

Snow on the branches


We have spent the end of 2011 with our friends living in the heart of Valserine valley. While it was raining for more than one week around my home, their house and the landscape all around were under a huge amount of snow.

I just retreived my office and computers this morning and couldn't wait to wish you a wonderful new year with this abstract image done with no other effect than camera shake during the exposure.

Weekly commented photo # 44 - Autumn impression

Autumn impression


As you may have noticed, with the autumn cames to me the mood for creating some abstract images.
I can't explain exactly why but that's certainly because i spent many and many hours in summer to some long and early drives to Haut Jura Natural Park.

At the end of september i needed something more tranquil and decided to work on the beautiful fall colours in the forest and trees around my home.
Of course i couldn't resist to a few visit to Valserine forest but most of the time i could work without taking my car.

Spending a long time photographing only a very small and close area can become boring if you stuck with classical scenes and don't try something different.
So i started to think in terms of colours, textures and shapes, blending them with moving my camera during the exposure or with multi exposures.

As usual, the more you practice, the more the things become interesting.
With the time i started to devine which subject and which movements are the most likely to give the result i expect. Although sometimes the final image is still a total surprise but that's one of the pleasures of photography.

This photo was created yesterday evening in a little wood between my home and Fornant river.
I got a few other ones with such colours and textures and two or three with some trunk silhouettes nicely swiped by the camera movements.

Dark silhouettes in the golden forest

Very nice autumn light in Valserine forest.

The camera shake technics removed many distracting details and just kept light and shapes.

Flaming autumn in Valserine forest


Two days ago, i returned to Valserine forest to get a little more of the beautiful autumn colours before all the leaves are gone.
Between some more typical forest images, i took the time to play a little more with my camera shake technics.

Weekly commented photo # 41 - Autumn in the garden

Abstract photograph of autumn cherry leaves and green grass
Autumn in the garden



Yesterday in the end of afternoon i went to my garden with the idea of making photos for my stock of the red cherry leaves fallen in the green grass.
I spent a few time trying to find beautiful compositions but after a few minutes i was bored just with the idea of such common images. That's not in my habit but that was my mind yesterday.

So i left the tripod and started to play with motion blur, just looking for nice colours and shapes.
With this kind of images, it's impossible to devine at shooting time what the final photo will exactly look. Many details can only be seen when processing the raw files on a serious display and may ruin an image you first imagine to be a keeper.

So, as usual in such case, i did many and many images, changing shutter speed, focus and the kind of movements i was giving to the camera. I also tried to blend some really blur photos with in camera multi-exposures. It gave some beautiful, colorful and very abstract images.

The photo posted above is the result of a single exposure. The blurred and textured effects are not due to any software manipulations but only to camera shake and a very slightly out of focus subject.
