Comète Neowise au-dessus du château de Comper, avec l'aimable autorisation des propriétaires
I chose this picture as my personnal "pic of the year", Here is the story behind it :
The choice was an obvious one here, even though this is not my most popular photo of the year.
I work at the Centre de l'Imaginaire Arthurien, which is located in Brittany, France, in the castle of Comper. I happen to be an astro enthousiast as well, so I was thrilled when the third comet of the year decided to shine through the summer. One day, a colleague asked me if I could place the comet above the castle. I wasn't sure it was possible, so I lost litteraly 2 weeks of sleep trying both during the evenings and very, very early morning. Finally, one moonless night, I could place it precisely where I wanted it, and asked another colleague to hold a light to the castle while I took the picture.
It may not be the most popular picture I took, nor even really the best, but for the work and dedication it took, and the result, this picture is clearly special to me.
Without prior planning 2015 was a cool photographic year. It was a a year that gave me experiences that i never thought i was gonna live in many aspects, it's just that already inside the world of landscape and nature photography, the life outdoors is always around, providing great moments.
Happy New Year to all my flickr friends. Wish you all prosperity and success for this coming period.
