An image from a few days ago done along Bourget lake near Aix les Bains in Savoie department.
This lake is one of the biggest natural lakes in France and is known for having inspired the famous poet Lamartine.
Other photos from this morning were posted yesterday on my french website, you can see them here.
I've published all the images from my first visit to this lake a few days ago on my french website. You can check them here.
Lake Génin is a little lake i discovered a few days ago in the mountains of Ain department.
It was a short visit and i came back with a few images. I start today with this one done using a combination of multiexposure and camera motion.
A beautiful october morning in Annecy.
Not the kind of photo i make the most but i think that this image perfectly shows why Annecy is so visited by tourists from all over the world.
Albigny beach is one of the most popular along Annecy lake because it's really close to the city (I could say in the city !).
This image was done in the early morning about 10 days ago, during a walk started before dawn.
Another view of Vallon lake and Roc d'Enfer mountain by a sunny summer afternoon.
Vallon lake in Bellevaux was created in 1943 by a huge landslip from a surrounding mountain which created a natural dam on Brevon river.
It is located in the mountains of french Chablais (NE par of Haute-Savoie department) and is surrounded by a beautiful mountain forest.
The mountain nicely reflected on the water is the Roc d'Enfer (Hell's Rock) and has an elevation of about 2 200m.
I spent the afternoon yesterday hiking around the lake under an amazing blue sky. I made a few images although it was not my favorite light but i'm sure the place worth another visit by a cloudy autumn day or better in winter.
Bénit lake is an alpine lake in Massif des Bornes and located just under Bargy mountain at an elevation of 1477 m.
The place is beautiful, surrounded by white cliffs and green coniferous forests.
I went there for a family walk in july and returned a few days ago to make images.
One more view of Annecy lake from Col de la Forclaz. Done just after dawn during my most recent visit to this place in the first days of autumn.
Another image from a few weeks ago, during this afternoon on Mont Baron over Annecy lake.
While the others were done with GND filters, this one is the result of a HDR work done with Picturenaut from 2 exposures.
It's free of any filtering artifact and i think it's my fav in the serie.
One more from friday, still done while walking down from Mont Baron.
During my long time waiting for a correct light i met a very nice couple and we had an interesting and pleasant discussion about photography and the joy of living in a so beautiful region. They were wiser than me and left the mountains before the night :)
Mont Veyrier and Mont Baron are two of the closest mountains above the east coast of Annecy lake.
Viewed from the city, they can look as the same mountain but when you climb them, you can really distinct the two summits.
I went there on friday afternoon. I spent the first hours hiking, looking for interesting points of view.
My most interesting images of the lake were done at dusk while walking down from Mont Baron. This one was the last one, done in really late dusk and after i had a "funny" walk in the steep and dark forest without the head lamp i forgot at home ...
In the background, you can see the mountains of Massif des Bauges.
One more view of Annecy lake from Col de la Forclaz.
