[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Yesterday after a period of fog, gray sky, one day with a clear sky quite blue and until laying down sun.
Super, here me is part to photograph it in the countryside. I find myself in Arçais, small village, in edge of the Marsh poitevin.
I see with the distance, a tree of good scale without electric posts around in top of a light mound. I'm on the secondary road and I see that to be placed best, I must turn and to roll on an agricultural way which has the air in good condition, it's the case, super, I position and click, clac, beautiful sunset with the tree and the ground blacks in foreground, I view the photographs which I made, it's good, beautiful colors, go I prepare to set out again towards our house...
I made the contactor of my car, reverse gear, I withdraw the hand brake and vvvvvvvvvoummmmm, stick in the mud my car, it's a driving truck two wheels. Corinne doesn't irritate you, impossible to leave me from there and of course to see the situation calmly lolll.
Fortunately I have my portable : Hello my darling, well here what arrives to me ... good do not irritate you my darling (the advice with especially not saying to a woman, isn't the true, a "shutter release") grrrrrrr.
Finally, after a good hour of waiting, it's our son who I would see comining at the wheel of his old Peugeot. I had given him the good indications, and especially I was the only vehicle with my warning lights in the medium of the fields in middle of the night, a true Christmas tree.
Morality: As I don't have money to buy a 4WD, I don't venture any more out of the roads except if I walk with boot.

Finally now I felt myself ridiculous with good reason but my photography finally was worth well this small tribulation.

Bonjour Cokky,
So we both have the sunset theme today! This is an excellent capture an attractive composition, you used the rule of third here very well. Boy really a scene to enjoy.
Tres bon mon amie, bisous de Baron Vert ;-)

Hi Corinne,
A wonderful clasic photo that always makes it great. The shape of the single tree is a real beauty. There are two things that bother me a little, one is the slightly OE sun. This takes a lot of attention away from the tree. The second is the odd blurr spot in the twigs jsut above the sun. I am not sure if this is movement or a sensor failure or PP work.
TFS,
Niek

Happy New Year Corinne.
A lovely shot with beautiful pale shades of pink and a fine silhouette of the tree.
Glad to hear that you got out safely after all!
Your shot was worth the trouble.

Bonsoir Corinne,
Ça valait le coup effectivement! Quelle beauté ce coucher de soleil et cet arbre dont les branches se détachent comme une fine dentelle dans le contrejour! La simplicité de la composition et le dégradé des couleurs font la force de l'image.
Bravo! Annie

PS/ Morale de cette histoire, toujours traîner son cell. ;)

Hi Corinne, although you ended up in mud, the picture is worth it. It's beautiful ! The colors and the characterictic tree. I especialy like the 'simplicity' of your composition. Just the tree, the sky and the sun. Marvellous !!

Hola Corinne,
precioso trabajo y hermosos colores...
calido ambiente y pov,
saludos

ça m'est déjà arrivé de rouler sur un sol très meuble pour prendre une photo, mais de là à s'embourber... tu n'as pas pris assez de précautions, trop concentrée sur les belles couleurs et la dentelle de cet arbre isolé !

Bonjour Corinne
Oui, ça vallait le coup, il fallait la mériter cette photo. On n'obtient rien sans "mâle" dit-on? LOL. Trève de plaisanterie comme le dirait mon professeur, c'est là une photo que j'aurais aimé prendre moi-même. C'est une belle composition aux couleurs chaudes, bien ficelée. Tu as su choisir l'angle idéal et créer un merveilleux paysage en silhouette.
Bravo
Amicalement

Hi corinne

The colour in this shot is so attractive. I love the soft pinks that you only seem to get in winter. Beautifully composed and with an excellent exposure. It has a lovely mood

Bonjour Corinne
Ce cliché mérite largement la peine que tu t'es donné pour le prendre. c'est ce que j'appellerais le second effet Treklens: se mettre dans des situations pas possible pour LA photo qu'on ne se serait jamais donné la peine de prendre autrement ;-)
En tout cas c'est superbe.
Amicalement
Antoine

Oh the things that are sacrificed to obtain a terrific photo! Well done.

tfs, Lisa

Tu sais quoi???
Bien, l'aventure en vallait terriblement la peine!
Et tu as du t'en rendre compte lorsque tu as branché ta caméra dans le port USB de ton PC!
Wowwwwwww!
J'en ai encore le menton sur le bureau!
Et... il ne remonte pas! My god!
Ton fils pourrait-il me venir en aide???
Sérieusement Corinne, le dégradé de ce ciel est ABSOLUMENT MAGNIFIQUE!
Et en plus, l'arbre en boni ouf!!
Bravo!
Et contente de te voir sur TL on a tant à découvrir par ton talent.
Merci Corinne!
Dany
