A burst of colours for a rainy day

Just because I had the opportunity to walk around Annecy which was bursting with beautiful flowers, and because the weather was nice (Yes, the sun was out this time), I was drawn to the colours that I must have been craving for during this grey Spring season.

This is unusual for me. Don't get me wrong, I love flowers, as the details that nature gave them is incredible.

But I tend to go for landscape or graphic scenes.

Except this time, it invaded me and I kept going for them.

Shooting a new subject was also very good practice, brought enjoyment and reminded me that I need to invest in a macro lens to do a decent job!

Have a colourful week! 

Le Beaujolais

When family comes to visit from abroad, I like to show them the surrounding area, so rich in heritage, culture and landscape. Every time, we enjoy taking in all this natural beauty that we often take for granted. 

I recently took family to the Beaujolais region, which I had discovered for the first time last year, a few months after moving back to France. At the time, I had captured parts of the flavoured landscape with my camera and left the photos to rest and mature for at least a year. Visiting the region again revived the desire to develop last year's photos, which I am sharing today.

This series being on the slight "post-card" style, I am aware it is not a Grand Cru. However, the contrasts, made up with the natural light that the weather created at the time, brings me to invite you to the Beaujolais region.

Virtually, to your health! 

Just like an ink drawing

Another shadow game, 

this time...just like an ink drawing...

Sauvage

Cette semaine, Véro nous propose d'interpréter à notre façon photographique le mot "sauvage". J'ai en premier lieu pensé aux animaux sauvages....et j'ai préféré vous montrer une jolie fleur qui avait l'air un peu perdue parmi le potager qui l'entoure. 

Est-elle vraiment sauvage, cette fleur?

Bon weekend !

Auto shadow portrait

Shooting shadows is something I had experienced last year when I had Fun With The Sun.

When the opportunity arose again last week, I could not refuse. It is just too tempting to play with the sun and chase your own shadows. 

I was just like a kid. 

This is my auto shadow portrait.

Have fun with the sun! 

Abstract escape

Have you ever found yourself not seeing the end of a project? 

When it all starts, the excitement reigns until a dark moment takes over and you wonder whether you'll see the end of it. 

You know that you have to stick to it, live with it.

But still...When will it come to fruition? 

Is there an escape? Are you allowed to escape? 

Or should you go through it until it all goes fine again and you see light. 

Then you realise that your only satisfactory escape is to achieve what you initially aimed for. Eventually you can appreciate the efforts, the pains, the wait...

That's it, you see it now, it's all worth it...



I would recommend that you visit Lucie's blog which inspired this idea of posting photos of movements. 

Thank you.

Tentation

Tiens, on dirait que le message de mon dernier billet est passé. 

Maintenant que le soleil est arrivé, la tentation, c'est de sortir ma robe d'été...

Mais nous sommes en avril, alors, ne te découvre pas d'un fil et laisse-toi tenter par le projet 52 de Véro...


Bon weekend à toutes et à tous.
