#500 : River Loire in fire !, a photo from Pays-de-la-Loire, West

Photographer's Note

After a very sunny morning, the afternoon turned cloudy on afternoon around Nantes yesterday. But at the end of the afternoon, the sky turned to brighter : the best weather conditions to have a great sunset ! So I thought about a place from where I would have a clear view on river Loire and I decided to go to Cordemais power plant, close to Villa Cheminée by japonese artist Tatzu Nishi. A small footbridge drove me to the middle of reeds. Then I just had to wait the work of Nature and shot, shot and shot again !

This was my 500th photo on Trekearth, time has gone fast ! When I have a look on the first photos I posted, I think I really improved my "art of photography". I learned a lot about technics (polarizing filter, RAW format, post processing). The work of other members of TE helped me to improve my eye of photography and gave me the will to try other photgraphy styles such as architecture or graphism. I hope I will keep on improve my work and after the 500 coming photos, maybe my talent will reach the one of TE stars !

Salut Olivier,
Joli petit tableau reposant avec des couleurs du soir très douce et les roseaux qui apporte beaucoup d'harmonie et de calme car on a l'impression de les voir danser au vent,bravo.

Bravo pour votre 500ème photo sur T.E. On se croirait vraiment au bord de la mer. Je reviens du golfe du Morbihan et les paysages sont très ressemblants.
Bien à vous.

Salut Olivier,

Allez, envoie les suivantes!
