Description

Voyager au Tibet était un rêve d´enfance, surtout quand on a lu tous les livres de l´exploratrice Alexandra David-Neel. Mais il faut accepter toutes les conditions imposées par l´occupant chinois. On se sent trés divisé, c´est un peu comme faire du tourisme dans un camp de prisionniers. Avant, on voyat le Potala, le palais des Dalais Lama, de loin. Aujourd´hui il faut depasser une long zone de barraquements et constructions horribles pour enfin le voir. Le centre histoire de Lassa est progressivement détruit. Devant le palais il y avait un lac magnifique qui refletait sa beauté. Aujourd´hui, à la place, il y a un imense carré de ciment, dans le style de place Tien Amen. Les militares, la police et les cameras de surveillance sont partout. Pour avoir cette vue du Potala, il faut monter sur le toît du Temple Jokang et bien cadrer sa photo, enlevant tout ce est horrible de l´image... PS- je suis une simple photographe, mais j´aimerais aprendre un peu d´Art Digital. Qu´est-ce que je peu faire avec les diffèrents programmes ( Photoshop, Terragen, Brice, Vue...) pour la transformer et donner plus d´impact ? Merci a tous de votre intérêt et vos merveilleus commentaires ! Travel ton Tibet was a children´s dream, especially when one read all e books of l´explorer Alexandra David-Neel. But it is necessary to accept all the conditions imposed by Chinese occupant. I feel hardily divided, it´s like making tourism in a prisioner´s camp. In the past, we see the Potala, the palace of Dalais LAMA´s, by far. Today is necessary to cross a long zone of barrackments and horrible constructions for finally seeing it. The historical center of Lassa is gradually destroyed. In front of the palate there was a splendid lake which reflected its beauty. Today, there is a giant square, in the style of place Tien Amen. The militars, the police force and the cameras of monitoring are everywhere. To have this sight of Potala, it is necessary to go up on the roof of Jokang Temple and to take this view, removing all it is horrible of the image… PS- I am a simple photographer, but want learn a little of Digital Art. What of differents softwares (Photoshop, Terragen, Brice, VUE …) can to transform it and give more impact? What you sugest? Thank you has all your interest and your wonderful comments!

I think visiting Tibet is on the top of many people's wish list, and it hurts my heart to hear they destroy this mighty view. Where do you live? you sprak french, but give us much of India. Am I wrong here? you seem to travel a lot, is it in your work? Cannot see from your avatar where you live. ...and thanks for all favs!!

Excellent mood and capture for a powerful and amazing place. There is no impact greater than your original photo. Every software plays with that. Photoshop lets you make it into a paper sculpture and then view it as if from 3 dimensions, but the play aspect must then be important, not the quality of the final result. You'll have to deal with artifacts from the process itself.

What a wonderful gallery you have. I first saw this scene in a very, very old copy of National Geographic Magazine...I have them all the way back to the first issue in October 1888. Your photograph is excellent. What a shame that the lake has been replaced by a huge square. Well done. Bill

C'est vraiment une merveilleuse photo ! L'ascension et l'ambiance militaire ont dû être bien pénibles mais cette prise de vue est une grande réussite. Bravo !

that is one of the best pictures of the Pottalla i have ever seen, i have a really nice one on my wall from a nathional geographic calendar a couple of years ago, but this beats that by far!

Wonderful photograph of a palace I would love to see in person! It was worth the climb up to the temple roof to get this shot! Sorry that history has taken its toll on the beauty.

beautiful, I was scheduled to go to china to work and then I would have 2 weeks to explore and TIBET was 1st on my list as it was and is a strong desire to go. But the conditions are inexcusable.
