Hi guys, I continue my visual diary about the recent trip to the Pyrenees mountains. If you’ve missed the previous posts, check Parts 1, 2 and 3. As the clouds were settling down nicely over the village, we decided to take a walk through the forest and towards the nearby lake of Balcere. The walk […]Read Post ›
After two hot days in our little ski village resort Les Angles, we were treated to a little surprise. First, we heard distant claps of thunder and the wind has picked up. The temperatures on the third day have dropped to about 17°C max and we couldn’t be happier about that! This is partially what […]Read Post ›
Continuing the visual diary on the recent trip to the Pyrenees mountain resort Les Angles. To see the first post, click here. On the second day, it was still hot. Too hot for the mountain weather. I checked the weather forecast on my iPhone and it indicated 28° Max… a slight sign. We came up […]Read Post ›
This afternoon I have finished editing the photos from the trip in the Pyrenees mountains. At first I had about 230 images and after going through them in Darktable and selecting the best ones I came to 121 photos from that trip. I’d like to share most of them in the future blog posts. I […]Read Post ›

A few weeks ago I dove into my Fujifilm camera settings again, played around with some presets and stuck with the Velvia. I like the vibrant colours that it produces along with the high contrast to separate the subjects. Deep dark shadows work well and I can get the needed result with minimum editing afterwards.

France is in a reflective period. Reflecting on health issues and a sudden rise in numbers of Covid patients in the last week or so. The second wave? Remains to be seen… For now though, masks have become mandatory in all close spaces. Whoever disobeys or simply doesn’t have one, a fine of 135 euros […]Read Post ›
Summer is in full swing here in South of France. There are days when you just don’t want to get out. Staying inside, hiding from the sun in front of your fan or air conditioner. Avoiding the heat is possible early morning (when I usually work) or later in the evening after the sunset around […]Read Post ›
After some time off, I feel like it’s good to come back to blogging with this particular post. It’s a part of a Friendly Friday Challenge. Photography is my passion, my hobby so it would be natural for me to share some tips, well I prefer to say advice for anyone who is just beginning […]Read Post ›
I glanced at it. There it is, siting on the shelf. Waiting patiently the next adventure or just waiting to be picked up. One thing for sure it won’t be at that spot for a long time and I shall use it again very soon. I’m just taking a break. There’s nothing wrong with taking […]Read Post ›
