A Dutch good friend introduced me to R'osity... and now, I really feel good in this community : I enjoy a lot your friendship and comments !BIOWith a few exceptions (indicated), I'm using a simple CANON Digital IXUS i... Sometimes, I do some postwork using ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5, but I just installed Adobe PhotoShop 7.0...
But now, after having seen all these beautiful shots, I just bought (Nov 2004) myself a new camera : NIKON 70 D !
I'm a chemist, leading a small R&D team in polymers (My greatest pleasure is to stimulate creativity...) I'm also studying to become a patent attorney...
I'm living in Belgium and enjoy travelling, hiking (going out every week-end is a vital must !), reading (my French preferred authors are Marc Ly, Jean-Christophe Grang Amie Nothomb,...), music (great fan of US female voices : Jennifer Warnes, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlan, ...) and ... photography ! :~)
Bien cordialement aussi aux amis francophones !

Etrange... J'ai du mal croire qu'il n'y a pas un peu de postwork ici... En tout cas le rultat est sympa (me si il y a beaucoup beaucoup trop de gammas... c'est l'influence Delmurienne, cette tendance aux gammas ev? ;-)

@pimbotin : indeed Philippe, some postwork here : the arch was very dark and so, it was an interesting picture to put in practice what nathalie06 teached me when she was in Belgium (Thank you once more, Nathalie, for sharing your PS expertise !) Regarding gamma level, I just edited the picture and corrected it with PhotoFiltre 6.1, applying a factor 0,70 ! For me it indeed looks better now and for you ? (sorry for the first viewers...) May be "professor Pimbo" could give me/us a "lesson" about gamma saturation in the Forum ? or in your gallery ? Anyway, thank you very much, dear Philippe, for your interesting and constructive comment ! Enjoy the rest of your week-end ! Bien amicalement :~)

Quant l'inflence "delmurienne", je prends pour un compliment/encouragement : j'aimerais bien faire d'aussi belles photos que Jean-Pierre.... ;~)

Excellente shot Michel ! Bon pov ! Un gros "10" comme effort pour le "Post work"! PS: J'ai bien hate que Nathalie revienne de vacance! Elle me manque beaucoup cette mutuelle amie ! Bon dimanche !

Yeah, good old film can record the high contrasts between the sky and the dark arch better, and to get it on screen more as we actually perceived it there's no other way than to adjust gamma's. However, the results are clearly visible here and I had the same feeling as Philippe (there's an unnatural transition between the arch and the sky). To prevent these things from happening a fill-in flash could be helpful. Wonderful work anyway, Michel! :)

great shot using the archway as a partial frame..

Ohhh ...I love looking out from beneath the stones like this!! The stones have such a wonderful texture and that jagged edge is very interesting also! A beautiful scene and excellent postwork on this!! It didn't look unnatural to me at all Michel.. to have some of that sunny day filtering into the entrance way! I think you did beautifully!! :-) Excellent!

Tu as drement bien fait de la retravailler cette photo et d'laircir l'arche, elle est parfaite comme , et tr naturelle.
