Paris – again?

Laurence — Fri, 12 Jun 2020 16:30:05 +0000

…and again. I’ve been to a few places since I last posted, but I’ve been back to Paris again twice. The next visit was just a few months after the first, doing a similar type of trip; another spur of the moment, long weekend with no planning or organisation. Those are the best. For this […]

Paris – a flying visit, without flying

Laurence — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 14:59:06 +0000

I’ve never been to Paris before, even though I’ve been to France several times in the (distant) past. Because of this, I decided I would go to Paris in a weekend. In order to maximise the time there and to minimise the cost, I took an overnight coach with Ouibus. I left London on Friday night and […]

Getting into HDR

Laurence — Wed, 01 May 2013 22:31:02 +0000

I thought I’d experiment a little with some HDR images. I have again been inspired by browsing 500px.com, as there are many HDR images on this site that seem to become popular. I looked into some HDR apps and downloaded a trial for Photomatix Pro, then loaded one of my favourite images into it, and […]

Café Terrace at Night – Lost in Translation?

Laurence — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:57:15 +0000

I was looking for the original title of Vincent Van Gogh’s painting Café Terrace at Night (above right), because I wanted to upload my photo (above left) of the same scene to my profile on the 500px.com website. I try not to leave the ‘description’ field completely empty when I publish an image there, so I […]

France 2007

Laurence — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:11:50 +0000

I think I visited France twice in 2007, once with a friend in the summer for a week to Brittany, it looks like I didn’t take any photos on that trip, so that means I can’t actually remember when it was. My parents were visiting France in November 2007 for three weeks, and in the […]

Lyme Regis

Laurence — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:55:40 +0000

I have ‘Lyme Regis’ as a saved search in my wordpress app, so I check it once every couple of days to look for any inspiring photos etc, especially now I’ve moved away and have lived in Sussex for about 16 months. I thought I’d use this to see if anyone actually uses saved searches, […]

France 2005

Laurence — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:08:40 +0000

I haven’t been updating this blog as often as I’d like, so I had this little idea that once in a while I’d take a little look back at something I’ve done, or somewhere I’ve been somewhere in the past. Today, I’m going to share some of my experiences of a 16 day trip to […]
