-> before the New Year party ....

La Défense is a fantastic place to practice a little bit the "abstract" photography .... ;-)

Well, this is my "last" contribution for this year. It's time to get ready for the New Year party ;-)))

Take care and I wish you all the best ... see you next year!

Ploumanac'h - 30 seconds

I was amazed by the pink granit rocks around the Ploumanac'h Lighthouse. I photographed this scene long after sunset during high tide. That's why a long exposure of 30 seconds was required. The B&W development even intensified the structure of the pink granit.

- ISO 100

The Bizarre World of the Office Buildings

This is a close-up of the Chicago's bizarre office world. Well, it's a little bit a strong contrast to the Venice architecture but I love them both. The modern and the "old" world.

Burano - Orange

As already explained in a previous post, Burano is the "Color Photographer's Mecca". It's really an exceptional colorful place. You can spend hours and hours there and creating new versions of colorful photographs.

I like orange ... and you?
