Daniel is retired and lives in Luc sur Mer, on the Normandy coast and in Paris. He worked in a company which rents equipment for public works. He loves Paris and its architecture, but loves less the Parisians, who are not as friendly as the Caennais (I agree of course ;)). He loves the Cafés, and he made a map with all the bars selling coffee for 1 euro. So he can go out and follow a circuit to drink coffees in different bars he likes, where he knows nice people.
His daughter lives in Lion sur Mer, that’s why he has a house not so far in Luc sur Mer.
It was a pretty nice meeting. Daniel is quite sympathic, and he really enjoyed talking about his life. He liked the concept of my project, talking with people you don’t know, exchanging… Yes, nice meeting.
Thank you Daniel !

Week#8
I wanted something because i do alot of black n white. So i took a few of a little lake that runs in town. I challenged the DOF to come up with something that hopefully has me stand out.
The fog in the mornings has been incredible recently, the sort of fog you could easily get lost in if you aren't careful, even.
Anyway, I haven't been 100% happy with some of my shoots recently, I feel as if my creativity is slipping, I don't see my work the same way that I used to, however I'm determined to climb back to a point where I'm satisfied with what I produce again. Luckily I think this image turned out great, it was simple to compose but I'm really proud of it.
I'm hoping when school is over, and some weight is lifted off my shoulders, I can start to put a lot more effort into my work.

Sunday was a driech day in Ottawa, as the city stumbled between seasons. Cold and wet. Could have been Scotland. Anyway, i was determined to capture something with my recently acquired 24mm Nikon 2.8 lens.
Here I made an up close shot of a succulent in the fore-ground and the back is kind of blurry drawing your attention down.
Zion Canyon East Rim/Zion Park Blvd/Highway 9, Zion National Park, Utah, USA
Since I didn't have enough time at Zion, I went back to the park the next morning and drove back up the Zion Park Blvd in the East Rim before leaving for Vegas. I am glad I did. The light and shadows from the morning sunshine made this place look so majestic, and I was right in the middle of it.
Took this picture from the road on top. You can see how the road ascended from the depth of the canyon to the top where I was.
The mountains are much bigger than they appear in this picture. I used a super wide field of view at 10mm.
Under the arches of the Ouse Valley Viaduct near Balcombe, West Sussex, UK.
Built in 1841, the Ouse Valley Viaduct (also called Balcombe Viaduct) over the River Ouse on the London-Brighton Railway Line in England north of Haywards Heath and south of Balcombe is 1,475 feet (450 m) long.
The viaduct is 96 feet (29 m) high and is carried on 37 semi-circular arches, each of 30 feet (9.1 m), surmounted by balustrades. Each pier contains a Jack arch with a semi-circular soffit to reduce the number of bricks required. At each end of the abutment is an ornamental square open tower, the brickwork of which is faced with stone from Heddon Quarries near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The viaduct was designed by engineer for the line John Urpeth Rastrick in association with the architect of the London to Brighton railway, David Mocatta. It has been described as "probably the most elegant viaduct in Britain."
The viaduct was opened in July 1841. The 11 million bricks needed for its construction were shipped up the Ouse River (via Newhaven and Lewes) from the Netherlands. It cost £38,500 to build (equivalent to about £3½ million in 2014).
The structure is a Grade II* listed building and was restored in 1996 with grants from the Railway Heritage Trust and English Heritage. Matching stone was imported from France, to ensure a close match with the existing balustrades and pavilions.
The viaduct is still used, with around 110 trains per day passing over it on the Brighton Main Line.

Just a test shot, nothing special actual. I could start a new set, but train stations and trains are connected anyway. So I guess this is a smooth change.
This was taken somewhere between Den Haag and Rotterdam, while I was on my way to Rotterdam. I just picked up the new camera/ lens in Utrecht and I wanted to put it to the test in Rotterdam, which quite failed since I made 3 images there.
Utrecht- Den Haag- Rotterdam might seem strange, but I had to take the diverted train due to scheduled maintenance. Which I didn't mind actually, because there are a few new places on my 'to go' list, like Den Haag Holland Spoor. I've been there a few times, but that was without a camera. Also the station in Leiden got my interest. The building site looks pretty impressive. So I guess I'll be doing 'een rondje randstad' as soon as I have finished my last finals next month..
