Spirit World

Location : Ste Thérèse, Le Moulleau, Bassin d'Arcachon, France
Changes : Blurring a lot, Contrast a lot

This is a shot of the mirror. I took it with a very short exposure. Then on the computer, I passed from 8 bits (256 channels in each colour) to 16 (more than 65,000) bits. This was to avoid having a problem with the colours. In 8 bits, as I was saturating the whites, only a few colours would have remained creating big areas from place to place. In 16 bits I then increased the contrast and blurred everything because I was too grainy. Then I reduced to 8 bits and blurred a bit to prevent again from having large areas of the same colour.

This should have rotated by 90°, but by leaving it like this I add a more dramatic effect, that of Paulette's ghost, of which I was talking about yesterday.

Paulette's Bedroom

Location : Ste Thérèse, Le Moulleau, Bassin d'Arcachon, France
Changes : Contrast a bit and some blurring to take away some of the grain.

This is the room I sleep in most of the times I go to the Moulleau. It used to be Paulette's room. Paulette was cooking all the meals in earlier times. I have never met her. She died in the Summer and my grandma doing some rice pudding once said, "oh ! it does just exactly has when Paulette was doing it". Paulette's ghost seemed to have come back to help doing rice pudding, well that gave me ideas of photos to take.

There is quite a gap in time here. About a month between this picture and the previous. I almost took not pictures in August and Septembre. I am actually wondering what I am going to upload soon. I am running out.

En Contre-Bas

Location : Swiss Jura, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast, very very slightly

Après la Vache

Location : Swiss Jura, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast, slightly

Having taken my camera out for the cow, I started shooting at the nearby trees and the next few pictures will be these trees.

Meuh

Location : Swiss Jura, Canton de Vaud, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast, slightly

This was taken during a walk int he Jura Swiss. It was wonderful, flowers everywhere. I was so enthoused, that I finally did take any pictures really. Only that one, 10 minutes before coming back to the car. It was fun looking for that cow, we could hear the bells, but could not see anythings, there were trees everywhere.

A Non-Swiss Attitude

Location : Jetée des Eaux Vives, Geneva, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast

There are several cruise boats on the Lac Léman, all built at the start of the 20th century. They stop here and there at piers in nearby villages, or in Geneva and almost every time, there is a group of children jumping in the water, grasping the bars behind the big wheel and let themselves transported as far as they can hold the bar. Something that somehow did not quite fit with the Swiss quietness but which was very peculiar to watch.

Cruise on the Léman

Location : Versoix Beach, Canton de Genève, Switzerland
Keywords : B&W, Lake
Changes : Saturation of blacks and whites, Contrast, Blurring a little

It was quite late when I took this picture, so there was not much contrast. Once increased, it gave this grainy aspect, which I reduced a bit by blurring. This was kind of intended, as it gives to the picture some texture and also an oldish look.

A Deep Instinct in Human Nature

Location : Lac Léman, Versoix, Canton de Genève, Switzerland
Changes : Saturation of whites, changes in Contrast

It was a very pleasant evening by the lake, the water was warmer than the air around ; it was very windy.

Jura Coloré

Location : Observatoire de Genève, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast

Right in fron of the observatory, there is this gap in the mountains, which, combined with skies coloured thanks to sunset, gives a very nice scene. There are many that I missed which were more impressive, like a blood-red sky in the background.

To Another Supermarket

Location : Canton de Vaud, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast

I found another supermarket, that one on the Swiss soil, but had to cross 2 forests to go there.

Rue de Genève

Location : Vieille Ville, Genève, Switzerland
Changes : None

The old town of Geneva really is a nice place to walk in.

Serrurerie

Location : Genève, Switzerland
Changes : Contrast, blurring (to make it look a bit old)

There are quite a few of these nice old shops in the old town ot Geneva. I really loved walking in its winding medieval streets.
