vague d'étrave, a photo from Cornwall, England

Photographer's Note

I am going to leave you............... for a fortnight, to visit my grandson in England. This reminds me the first travel we have done with my wife to reach UK: sailing a boat. We left Port la Forêt, stopped in the Scilly islands, then sailed to Ireland, and back to France (5 weeks journey).
Here, we are crossing the English Channel pushed by a medium wind. Picture taken bending over the balcony, with the hand held camera without looking through the viewfinder. Waiting to have a big wave (but not too big to wash the camera!!) I have to rotate slightly the image in post processing. Scanned old Kodachrome slide so grainy picture, sorry!

Olá Claude, wonderful dynamic and artistic image with a strong sense of adventure. The dramatic action makes me think you were on the back of a dolphin to take this shot :) Even being a scan and a grainny image, it's a pleasure to look at this scene.
Happy safe sails,
ric

Bonjour Claude,

Effectivement le scan n est pas optimum, mais l ambiance est bien la ce qui est le principal. Au debut je pensais que tu avais fortement compressée l image en jpeg car on voit quelques artefacts, mais je pense plutot que c est l effet du grain de la diapo qui amene tout ca.
Un sacré periple a la voile que vous avez effectué. Pour pratiquer un peu, j estime a sa juste valeur.

Yves.

Hi Claude
exciting image, I like when someone looks for original, different POVs just like you've done here. Love the effect, the grain given by the scanning process.
Have a good day!

Claude,

Strong image. Very good work in spite of the grain due to the scanning process.

Best regards,
Juan

yes, the grain is a bit disturbing here (actually, the scan of the grain is, not the grain in itself...), but the moment is fantastic - the spray and the tilt convey perfectly the speed and the feeling of being almost in the water.
have a good break :)

bonjour Claude
il semble que tu aies pris quelques risques pour faire cette photo!En tout cas,super périple!Le cadrage est excellent et original,et même si la qualité n'est pas des meilleures,la vague manquant à mon avis de définition,la photo restitue bien l'ambiance,et c'est vraiment agréable à regarder!
Amitiés

Bonjour Clodo,
Le scan et la perte qui l'accompagne n'ont pas eu raison de la beauté de la prise. J'aime cette composition avec les éléments bien placés sous une bonne lumière.
Amicalement
Jacques
