Sortie la Part Dieu avec Image Contact

Image Contact, l'association photo dont je fais partie, organise de temps à autre des sorties, selon nos envies photographiques. Et nous avons décidé d'aller faire un petit tour un dimanche matin dans le quartier de la Part Dieu, au centre de Lyon.

Il y avait Serge, Matthieu, Chrystel, Charly et moi-même. Nous nous sommes bien amusés avec les lignes, les courbes et les réflexions des immeubles des années 70 (et autres) qu'offrait le quartier.

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose aussi d'aller guetter sur le blog d'Image Contact les photos des autres photographes. C'est toujours intéressant, je trouve, de découvrir les autres regards du même sujet. Nous incitons les intéressés de la photo à commenter pour échanger et partager cette passion.

A très bientôt.

City reflections

My latest reflections took place in Minneapolis during a family holiday and in Lyon during a photo outing.

Reflecting on these times, the family holiday in the US was fantastic and the outing with fellow photographers allowed me to take a step further into learning and searching...

The colours of Auvergne

Auvergne is a region I often visit as my parents moved there a few years back from Brittany. Over the time, I have taken photos of this volcanic region and today I decided to put my favourite ones together.

This series captures the colours of the countryside and the light of the region.

I enjoy walking in the countryside and learn to appreciate the natural beauty of the Auvergne region.

The Stacked Hay Man

Introducing people into my photos is not so natural for me, but I am working on it.

During this improvised shoot, the difficulty was to ensure the session would not last too long, as when the sun is as gorgeous as it was, there's a time limit for itchy hay into your back!

White silhouettes

Who were you and how did you manage to escape the paint, or did you escape the paint??? 

These questions came to my mind when I saw these white silhouettes on the wall surrounded by different paint colours. Was it a project? Or pure fun? What was the objective? Why all these different poses? 

It's all a bit intriguing, so I took some photos from an angle to try and make these silhouettes more alive.

If you are aware of this project or have ever been involved in such thing, please enlighten me! 

Have a fun week. 

Sun, Sun, Sunflowers

As I went for a walk in the centre of France, in Auvergne, I stopped when I saw these rather low looking sunflowers. The whole field was full of saddened yellow flowers, losing faith in the sun.

Except for a few cheered up ones, looking proud and knowing their days were not over yet.

Have a sunny week!

Metallic curves

During one of the summer outings among photographers, metallic and stringy curves stood still, right above our meeting point. I looked up, gained some height and twisted my camera to obtain a more curvy effect.

As I developed the photos, I first opted for a strong contrasted black and white look, emphasizing on the lines.

As colour also appeals to me, I chose another 2 photos to emphasize on the blue that surrounded the metallic curves.

Hopefully the blue sky will stay with us for a while!
