Would it be surprising to say that I experienced some bad weather while I was it Bretagne? Well force 9 gusts, driving rain is what we got on the worst day. In fact it was so wet, I didn’t even shoot as the only way to keep the camera still was to lie down in [...]
The first four photos are not of Trestrignel but in fact in Saint Guirec, where a shrine first built in the twelfth century called L’Oratoire de Saint-Guirec (the Oratory of Saint Guirec) stands in the bay at Ploumanac’h with a chapel, just above, on the facing beach. These photos, taken at low tide allowed me to get close to the Oratory without getting my [...]
Vivons Perchés
The theme park Vivons Perchés is about 5 minutes from the town Pleumeur-Bodou in Brittany, France. If you feel like swinging tree to tree, then this is the place for you!
The day we went, the wind was blowing very hard and rain showers were a constant threat, however sheltered deep in the [...]
Mean Ruz
Le official name to Le phare de Ploumanac’h in Breton is Mean Ruz, which means, ‘Red rock’. After being destroyed in 1944, it was rebuilt the year after and today is still active. It is about a 5-minute walk from the beach of Ploumanec’h, following a path that threads and weaves through the pink granite [...]
I was sous la pluie yesterday afternoon with a great couple,Christelle and Nicolas, scouting out locations near the church for their wedding in two weeks time. The weather was awful! Grey and wet. Several times I took the camera out of the rain sleeve which was essentially to protect the camera and especially the Pocket Wizard [...]
Tregastel Granite is today’s post on the..yes..the granite rocks at Tregastel. The coastline in this area is famous for the pink granite rocks which can be seen in the Perros-Guirec in the Côtes-d’Armour department in Northern Brittany. These photos were taken in the afternoon during a rising tide which therefore limited my movement somewhat. In [...]
Ploumanach wreck, is a group of shots that got me very dirty! It was low tide and the sun was shining, so camera in hand out of the car jumps I , and enthusiastically walk across the mud flats – yes I know! to the wreck I saw on its side. The good news was, [...]
I’m back! A walk in the woods is the first of many posts coming over the next few days portraying photos taken in Brittany after a 1-week stay.
The weather conditions ranged from sunshine to gale force 10 winds with rain to boot. The objective was to relax, but as all photogs know that is [...]
Two weeks ago I shot the first Spring Wedding of the year in what could be described as f/22 outdoor light. I should rejoice that we didn’t have rain, tornadoes or sleet, but it was a tad on the bright side. So metering at 1/3200 @ f/2.8 the day began.
The day spent in the [...]
