Description : Thanks to the Nature to offer us a such spectacle in sky.
It was at the Chinaillon in french Alps at 1300m altitude. The mountain in dark is the Tournette 2351m.
These days in Alps the nature didn't give enough snow, only sun, then it is not good for the season of ski but it is good for the photos of sunset ;-)
---
Technique : FUJIFIM FinePix S6500 - Mode P - Auto focus - Focal length 180mm equiv - Aperture f4.1 - Shutter speed 1/15s - Iso 100 - Flash not fired - File JPG fine - Support on a piece of wood...
Photo : no modification, only slightly cropped, resized and framed in 800x600 for TN.
---
Note : Second photo with my new camera because I have focusing problems with my Canon 350D and the warranty is finished :-(
Then, I baught a FinePix S6500, a very pleasant and polyvalent camera with its zoom 28-300mm equiv.
What I like : manual and soft zoom ring, efficient zoom range, 1cm super-macro mode, only 600gr total weight, big 2.5" LCD viewer with 235000 pix, good 1/1.7" CCD sensor, ergonomics body, long life batteries, good results in all conditions from 100 to 400 ISO without noise. What I don't like : no optical stabilizer...
My dream was a Canon 30D with big IS lenses, but too expensive for me these days...

Salut Christian,
A happy 2007 to you as well.
This is really a wonderful photo with stunning colors and a beautiful composition. I really love the different colors in the sky and the fact that I can even see some texture on the top of the mountain. It is a real pitty that there is no snow yet. Lets hope this will change soon.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Christian!

Fantastic spectacle my friend. Very calm, quiet and relaxing picture. And superb colours. Silhouette of Tournette looks slightly mysterious. I like it very much!

effectivement:je n'avait pas e ncore lu la note pour la neige.

Bonjour Christian.
Une belle lumière douce de ce crépuscule.

Beautiful warm graduations of sunset color Christian. I like the frame with mountains in silhouette, combined with the thin dark bands of cloud..
I would say the camera is secondary. The artists eye is of paramount importance :)
Well done mf.

Hi Christian

What a marvellous capture with your 'super' new Finepix, but it did not hide the fact that it was a master who pressed the button.

You are one of so many people to complain about the total absence or the lack of sufficient snow this year. The weather is weird all around our lovely planet, but fortunately you could get this beautiful shot which other wise apparently would not have been possible.

The colours are absolutely wonderful. The combination of f/stop, shutter speed, and tripod turned this into a magnificent sunset. The composition was well perceived and presented with the specific mountain profile carefully selected and placed within the frame. The details are splendid and the exposure is perfect.

Very well done and TFS
Regards
Loot

A dream capture Christian with this wonderful twilight.

I like it a lot: composition, POV, colors, backlighting, DOF, focus, sharpness, background, framing, notes.

I don't like it: nothing to grumble.

Great presentation with amazing colors of you new camera.
Happy 2007!!!.

Hi Christian

Another wonderful photo from you and your rather new camera :)
The composition you managed here is wonderful and the colors are amazing!
Great usage of nature's reserves - the support on the wood - which allowed you in a very clear photo at 1/15. Also the silhouettes on those peaks are lovely and the sharpe of the small clouds great!

Cheers and Happy 2007

Happy New Year to you also, Christian. This is a nice sunset to mark the passing of another year. There are wonderful sky colors and the active line of the mountain silhouette is really nice.

Québec,

Hello Christian,
beautiful colour contrast when seen it in sequence to your previous posting of Lac d'Annecy! Majestical silence, good to see faint reflections of sky on mount Tournette.
Thank you, Christian, and Happy New Year to you, too!
Best regards,
Peter

Bonjour Chrisitan !
Quelle photo magnifique ! Ce dégradé de jaune, orange et rouge est tout simplement superbe, et j'adore aussi la silhouette noire des montagnes. La composition est parfaite. Félicitations !
Valérie.

Gorgeous sky, hope your New Year is a very prosperous one!
