Last saturday, my father and I woke at 2 in the morning in Arolla to climb up the Col de Riedmatten (2919 m) in Valais, Switzerland. My goal was to capture this unique atmosphere. The “Patrouille des Glaciers“, a famous race across the Alps toke place during this night. The light path is made by the head lamps of the racers.
Midnight City
This picture is my tribute to the work of Hilla and Bernd Becher. Shot during a cold (-3 °C !) night in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Everyday Is Just An Extension Of Yesterday
Same place than the previous post, but at night, I definitely like this place. We climbed up the mountain at the end of day to enjoy a cold sunset and share bottle of white wine. Shot from the top of Dent de Vaulion (1482m), Vaud, Switzerland.
Moonlight Shadow
Cheillon Glacier and the Mont-Blanc de Cheillon shot from the Cabane des Dix (2928m) in Valais, Switzerland. This was a almost full moon during this night, I try to catch this unique atmosphere with this shot.
Winter Slow Show
Snow is coming, winter is in the city. Shot in Place de L’Europe, Lausanne, Switzerland.
In the same serie of Slow Show.
Blue Ferris Wheel
A long exposure of a ferris wheel during a winter night. Place Bellecoure, Lyon, France.
Many Rivers to Cross
This is the St-Antoine’s bridge across the Saône in Lyon, France. Shot at around midnight after a really good meal in the city.
Cathedral with view on the Saône
The Saint-Jean Cathedral and Notre Dame de Fouvrière close to the Bonaparte bridge in Lyon, France. This was a cold night in the beginning of this winter in this city full of lights.
Morning has broken
It was 6h30 in a cold morning of autumn. I was with my uncle in the forest, hoping to see and take pictures of wild animals. Nothing happens except this great sunrise. Shot in a forest near Mauraz, Switzerland.
Playing with light at night
We must celebrate, it’s my 100th post !
I decide to start a new photographic experience. With the kind help of Raphaël, we made a long exposure shot with some light paintings and flashes. I like the design of this playground especially at night. Shot in Vallée de la Jeunesse, Lausanne, Switzerland.
I’m happy with the result. Thank you all for your comments, e-mails and support since the beginning of this photoblog. I’m looking forward for the 1000th post !
