J'aime bien ce format car j'ai plus de possibilités pour m'exprimer comparé à d'autres réseaux sociaux

Je vous emmène à Sixt Fer-à-Cheval en Haute-Savoie pour prendre des photos et pour profiter d'une belle journée de printemps dans la nature.

I spent the day visiting the Chamonix photo festival today.

So many talented and dedicated people and such braw photographs. I even managed to take a picture and I'm happy to slowly get back into photography.

From my trip to the South of France, exploring the beautiful surroundings.

A few recent photos from the botanical garden. I love my newfound love for photography.

I love long exposure photography. Recently I bought myself some new neutral density filters so I am testing a few new compositions now.

Throwback to one of my most beautiful landscape sunrises ever. We set off very early from the valley. I wasn't sure it was such a good idea because it was still raining and the path was quite slippy.

However, after two hours of walking through the night, the clouds started to descend into the valley and we got to see the blue sky above us.

It was truly amazing and I can't wait to have this kind of experience again!

These pictures date back to when I did a four month long bike trip through Europe at the end of my university studies.

It started out in the middle of hayfever season so that sometimes I couldn't see anything because my eyes were hurting so much. I was much fitter then and happy from spending every waking hour outdoors.

We were also very exposed to the elements as you can tell by the picture of the scary clouds.

All photos takend on Fujifilm Sensia 100 slide film and "scanned" with a digital camera and a macro lens.

During blue hour, it was quite wet and rainy. I really enjoyed a bit of alone time in the mountains and observed the cars driving past. I find that their lights provided some interesting contrast to the gloomy background.

The third picture is something slightly different, but I thought it goes well with the other two.

I've found and rediscovered a few older photos from my archives recently.

It reminds me that the mountains are my favourite subjects. It has been a bit difficult to go there with young children recently, but I'm working on keeping up the passion.

I know that, some day, my kids will be big enough to go on smaller hikes with me.

It's interesting to realise how many things look interesting to our children. Through them, I am trying to get some of this excitement back.

I just published a new video on YouTube where I speak about some of the mistakes I made when I first started out.

Have a look and let me know what you think!

Every photography beginner makes these mistakes. In hindsight, it's quite funny, but it was annoying when it happened.Sign up to my newsletter: https://www.t...

When I look at these pictures, the French word "éphémère" comes to mind. Apparently, the English word is ephemeral. I'm not sure if it's commonly used as I'd never heard it before.

I used a coloured backdrop and tried to balance the flower's colour. Another thing I had to balance was my camera and the backdrop, which was pretty awkward.

I would have needed a tripod for the camera with a special attachment for the backdrop, but I haven't gotten so far yet in my exploration of macro photography.

Let me know what you think of these photos and if you have experimented with colour backdrops.
