A classic shot but the light was good and rich, the sky beautiful and the focus was sharp.

Not a great shot, focus was ok….

Yes, a lot of manipulation. Too bad! Rainbow war with Dominique!

I finally got the camera in high speed, the proper follow object autofocus mode and was ready when this guy came by - I had missed him multiple times with the camera in some weird setting…

One of the few from earlier in the sequence where the Fuji autofocus locked on properly…

She likes this one better than the other one with her in focus….and no, the sky doesn’t come off the camera like that…

Dominique in focus with little flowers fuzzed out…you can see how windy it was.

I liked the light and texture. I had to get with my face in the sand to shoot this low. The LCD screen rotates but the sunlight overhead was so strong I couldn’t use it….

The shore is littered with rocky outcroppings that become islands at high tide.

I believe that is the proper spelling for them in French. agapanthus in English.

First in camera panorama on the X-T4. Not bad. Would be a lot easier with the tripod I brought….

An architecturally weird little home in Treguier, completely out of character for Brittany, more like a Belgian home.

We stopped for lunch in Liffre at Marie Paule and Roland’s. I always want to capture this building but I fail to. I need a wide angle lens and no jet lag.

Talking like they don’t see me taking a picture….

This shot was trying to get the apeture and light level correct so the whole thing would be in focus. I think it worked. Liffre during our lunch.

The light was tremendous and the texture of the old wood stunning

Le cousine, grand mere plusier fois, avec Louis sur ses genoux.

I like this one, the little boy has his hands clenched, very determine to catch his father.

She saw me focussing and suddenly changed he smile in the next photo

After she changed her smile….

I liked the color of the sunlight on the corn. The corn field is much higher up than the roadway / La couleur et lumiere soleil sur le maïs. Le champs est plus haut que la route.

The color and the light of trees and sky are hard to photograph. The sky is either too bright or the trees too dark or both! A friend said to learn how to do exposure brackets to combine later in software, mimicking better how the human brain changes the light we perceive to dim the bright sky and brighten the gloomy trees. This is one of my first successful AE brackets with a merge in Lightroom. / Trop technique pour explique en francais pour moi, cette image est une produit d’une fusion par logiciel de plusiers images.

Bracket shot.

Bracket shots with humans are rarely successful since they move between the shots no matter how fast I am shooting. This worked well, allowing me to capture my subject crisply and the rich bright sky and flowers of the darker chemin.

Trees lit by the sun along the chemin de douanieres has been a challenge shot for me for a few years…..I like the light on this one. AE bracket (three images, -2,0,+2 stops, Lightroom HDR merge - photoshop merge has more control but for most shots I find it overkill until I can get a faster Mac Pro with a spare $10K :-).

Bréttonant, non?

I took this one walking across the main square in Penvenan. I lucked out and had the camera settings and focus in time for the hats! Totally random group of people, I don’t know them.

Quel que choses manque dans le photo…….le vieux bateau qui a coulee dupuis 30 ans…..a disparu complètement! Aucune trace n’y reste.
