Andre Goes South: 1300km, Horse Riding Lessons & Medieval Stable

[Andre]

Every morning the view is different,
Remind me please, when I'm back home, to do some HDR-ing with this one, that I took this morning.

Power of ten-ing: to the right on the horizon, Mont Vallier

Never mind the reminding, I decided to try it right now:

The colors have only been intensified but not changed.

:) wow! amazing pictures! I love hawkmoths! when I first saw them live I didn't know what to make of them! didnt know whether they were insects or birds cos they were so huge and flew so fast!

Very nice, Pooh! I'd love to visit there!

 

[Moonbear]

Sounds and looks like a wonderful trip! Fantastic photos to go with it.

Anyway, for some reason I went south again, maybe the pix I shot this week would hint why I like to be there a lot.

Same girl, same horse, Montcru in the background

Sunrise moments:

Same Mount Vallier again but now at a November sunrise

That's absolutely stunning, honestly.

Lovely pictures again, Andre. Beautiful subjects, skillfully captured.

 

[Borek]

Pleasure to see.

 

[Andre]

Thanks all, it's a pleasure to share them,

Chewy0087, it may look stunning but it's no magic. All you need is a good DSLR (Canon EOS 550D in this case) and a decent rapid focussing macro lens (EF 100mm F2.8 USM) and a good synchronized flash (Speedlite 430EX II), a lot of patience and a little luck.

Lovely Andre, thanks for sharing.

And again au chateau.

I'd like to share some of my holiday pix taken yesterday. Relaxing on the roof

and the view from there was gorgeous too, (since she took the pictures).

I guess heaven needs a bit of maintenance now and then.

 

[Borek]

They just have problems finding an engineer. And suing Hell... well, you know what I mean.

 

[drizzle]

Sounds like a perfect holiday Andre.


Well as long as you're enjoying it :)

Looks like fun.
