I am back from a trip to Albania and as usual, I had a camera with me. Besides some captures from the streets and some portraits I took the chance to experiment. An experiment to explore things I normally not do when taking and making photo's.

Some long exposure photo's, all @30 sec and low ISO. Something new, not to change my style I think.

So, what do you think?

Today it was a rainy day in France, I only went out to the garden to see if everything was ok there.

I found some inspiration and took some photographs...

Not too much to say about this photograph, I just was creative during a short hike in the Black Forest.

Today something different:

Last weekend I took these trees in a village close to where I live. It was a wonderful day but those trees still seemed to be in their wintersleep.

Last Sunday we went out for a short walk on the border of the Black Forest (Germany). A short walk became a longer tour and I came home with some nice shots.

The photograph above shows the typical pine forest vegetation of Black Forest, bellow however there are trees and vegetation not typical to the Black Forest. The photograph bellow shows a green world, to give you some impression of colour atmosphere I will post some colour photographs next days.

During our trip over the Niger river we stayed one night in our tent besides this wonderful tree. It was a nice place but we learned that cows and goats are noisy during the night.

This Sunday morning I was early out and took some landscape photographs in La Petite Camargue. I went out with a photograph like this in my mind, I am happy that I could realize my idea. I'm however not sure about quality of this photograph and happy to receive direct feedback.

Normally I am not a morning person, however when I have to wake up habits are not fix. One night in Pays Dogon (Mali) we slept outside on a roof. I woke up when first rays of sunlight stoke on my face, grabbed my camera and took these photographs and cached the morning atmosphere.

By the way, in Europe today the clocks have been adjusted for daylight saving. If you have a camera with a clock, don't forget to adjust it.
