NYC is pure bliss for photographer, whatever time, whatever day. When weather is not so nice, when sky is white or dirty gray, with just enough directional light to create some shadows, it’s perfect time to see the Big Apple in Black & White…
Potentiality
Too often, I feel frustrated when discovering the images that I was the most eager to capture, because of the difference of what I felt when I stopped walking to look through the viewfinder, and what I see on the screen… I’m not talking about technical aspects, no, in fact, it’s more like if I […]
White Color Palette
When visiting Boston before our move back in 2014, someone said to us : “if you don’t like New England’s weather, wait 5mn…“ Indeed, weather changes can be spectacular, like just after that first snow storm end of January 2015. However, while the light was warm, temperature was well below zero Celsius, and my fingers […]
The Moon on the other side
Having the chance to live abroad is obviously a great opportunity to capture images very different from our usual environment. It was the case for me during the Boston historic winter early 2015, when several snow storms brought up to 3m (100 inches) of white powder. While it was a pure logistic nightmare everyday, it […]
Arches
Years ago, an experienced photographer who was not yet a friend taught me that while very few images are strong enough to be presented alone, some others could benefit from being grouped in a consistent set, ideally with multiple reading axis. There is nothing exceptional with the following pictures from the Moab area, but it […]
First Light
It is well known that sunrise or sunset are photographers’ favorite moments. Without considering light quality differences, I usually prefer sunrise for a simple reason: less people are awake very early in the morning that late in the afternoon. However, since our trip to Brice Canyon, I’m not so sure….I really had a hard time […]
White Boat
In a previous post, I was looking for alternative ways to capture images of a landmark. Once I recovered from the emotion and vertigo we felt when discovering Horseshoe Bend for the first time, it was time to start thinking how not to take the same picture as everyone else. For sure, I could do […]
El Capitan
On the way from Kayenta to Monument Valley Park, it is difficult to miss the stand alone peak called El Capitan. Imposing block emerging from a flat landscape, there was hopefully some signs of human life to give a sense of scale, otherwise difficult to estimate.
Factory Butte
We were driving on the Utah State Road 24 since Capitol Reef, when we left turned on a dirt road called Coal Mine road to stop the car. Without speaking, we walked a few meters under the summer heat. In front of us, in the middle of a lunar landscape, a gigantic and unexpected vessel…
