La Torche, Bretagne

I have been to Italy for a one week workshop organised by TPW and my teacher was Sally Gall. She gave us an assignment one day that was to make the image that you would like to take with you into a world without any visual information. Not easy to do that in Italy for me, but here is the result.

I have used an extension tube OUFRO on my Leica M and it turns into a competent macro camera!

I am out sailing for a couple of weeks and I could not resist this sunset!

Variable weather this weekend, but it is summer! This is our country house.

Forgive me for yet another image of our neighbours house, but I can't resist this view!

Cypripedium calculus, beautiful, but it was hard work as there were hundreds of blood thirsty mosquitos all over the place. This image is a focus stack of five images using Helicon focus.

This wetland is the beginning of a small stream that passes close to our house some km downstream of this place.

Just playing, but when I saw these ferns I came to think of heads so this is the result.

I decided to take a few steps back from the river to get another feeling of how it is to walk along this river.

Finally spring and the snow and ice is disappearing fast.

Just four quick exposures from my balcony and a stitch in Hugin. Amazing light this evening after some rain showers.

It has been a really long winter this year, but now the snow is melting very fast.

Home after five days in Lofoten so it was a bit difficult to get started again, but I liked the evening light here. It has been cold the last three weeks and we have plenty of sea ice, it should normally be gone by now.

I tried a pano with two images. In fact it is slightly less as I cropped a part to the right. Panos rarely look interesting on a screen, but maybe this works?

I published a BW version of this image in october. I use Silver Efex Pro a lot and as Google bought NIK Software they are offering their whole collection for free. So this is an experiment with quite a lot of PP.
