If you look at my seascapes, you will easily notice that most of the photos where done on the same place named "Bau Rouge beach".
Why ?
I really love wild and natural places and to sand beaches i prefer rocks with nice shapes and where the waves can break nicely.
Such places where really rare in the part of Provence where i lived and where all was done for a comfortable tourism.
Bau Rouge beach was one of them and so i went there really often.
I think that many photographers know this feeling : You always think you can return and capture some other light, some other composition. That's true but one day you feel the need to change.
So after some months of shooting at Bau Rouge beach, after looking the maps, after asking many people i decided to move a little and give a change to another rocky beach not so far.
This new place was a few kilometers from Bau Rouge beach and had no special name. I also went there many times but my favourite image of this place is this one and it's the really first one i did there.
This first day was intended to more to explore the place than to really make images so i just had a light bag with a litlle tripod. Rare thing, i left all my filters at home.
The image was done just before dusk and the dynamic range was a little too high for a single exposure without filtering.
So i took three exposures that i manually and patiently blended (without tonemapping) in the digital darkroom.
As said over, that's my fav from this place but you can have a look here to see another one i also love.
It was done by a stormy morning where the waves were so huges that i could'nt access Bau Rouge beach.

Wow! Ce lieu regorge de prises de vue magnifiques! Tu as fait un travail de maître en combinant manuellement trois images en une seule. Bravo!
Je comprends pourquoi tu y retournes régulièrement. J'aimerais avoir de ces paysages "d'hiver" par chez moi. ;-)
