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 https://convexum.net/2016/09/paris-flying-visit-without-flying/ https://convexum.net/2016/09/paris-flying-visit-without-flying/#respond Fri, 02 Sep 2016 14:59:06 +0000 http://convexum.net/?p=1710 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 https://convexum.net/2013/05/getting-into-hdr/ https://convexum.net/2013/05/getting-into-hdr/#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 22:31:02 +0000 http://convexum.wordpress.com/?p=974 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? https://convexum.net/2013/03/cafe-terrace-at-night-lost-in-translation/ https://convexum.net/2013/03/cafe-terrace-at-night-lost-in-translation/#comments Wed, 27 Mar 2013 22:57:15 +0000 http://convexum.wordpress.com/?p=944 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 https://convexum.net/2013/01/france-2007/ https://convexum.net/2013/01/france-2007/#respond Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:11:50 +0000 http://convexum.wordpress.com/?p=704 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 […]

Today, I’m going to share some of my experiences of a 16 day trip to […]
