Yes, I know, I pick the title on “Focus Numériques” who has a tutorial that includes some post-treatment tricks with Lightroom, readily transferable to competing software. In my defense, it’s because I decided to practice on this poor picture taken last summer in Ronda, Spain. Here are the results and how I got there (in french but image have no language).

Those who follow me on flickr had probably seen some photos of this series made during a rainy day of the Saints, in the Saint-Vincent Cemetery in Montmartre (Paris). Not all… because some of the photos are new here. My original idea was not to do a coherent set. Here’s why and how I came there. Continue reading
Here is a picture taken on a snowy night in the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris. EXIFs are formal, and it was 1:09 in the morning and the clock of the station, basically agrees. Here are some comments on how it was taken and treated. It breaks the myth a little but not much. All in French, I’m afraid. Continue reading
I send you my best wishes for 2013, a year at the image of this photo, Cloudy, but bright, on calm but living waters, and beautiful even if, like the tower of Burano, all is not very straight. Continue reading
Long exposure is the increasing of the opening time. If it is most often used to take pictures in a dark environment, it has many other uses. Immediate corollary, when you increase the exposure time, that moves is blurred. And if it is the photographer that moves, this is the photo that is.

Doe was awarded for his work “stuff and gadgets” and the other has its “Machinchose.” The common point of all this work is to propose a visual consistency and that’s what I tried to do with these pictures taken at night, in the cellars of the Château Guiteronde (Sauternes).

The inevitable happened, I did my first beautyfing work with photoshop. As usual, I am proud of myself even if I would be disappointed by the result in a few months. As the purpose of this article is not the complacency of the genius hatching before your very eyes and as you, dear readers, are quiet commentators, I will try to do the criticts which traditionally belongs to you. The whole text is in french, but pictures have their own language. Continue reading
