The Lavaux Experience Photo

Photographer’s Note

Yesterday a small group of TE members and their families met up to enjoy a rather wet day on the shores of Lac Leman. Rain prevented our planned walk through the vineyards, and any ideas of sunshine or icecream were replaced with a warm fondue indoors. Nevertheless, spirits were not dampened and towards the end of the afternoon the rain even eased for a short while to allow a stop and a few photos in the village of St-Saphorin. This pretty terraced village is well known for its wine and forms part of the Lavaux region which was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site last year. Despite the rather black horizon, the flashes of lighting and the imminently more rain, for a few brief moments the lighting and colours were still pleasing. Minutes later the rain started up again and we ran for cover.

Thanks again to our organiser and TE friends for a fun day together.

Hi Susanna
Was this after we separated ?
In any case the light is actually very pretty and I like how you composed it with the strong lines of the vinyards and the water sandwiching the village.
Can you believe today everything was so clear ? We could see details of the houses opposite.
Regards
Nikki

Salut Susanna,
je vois que vous avez continué la visite après que nous nous soyons séparés. Belle vue sur ce clocher malgré le manque de lumière. C'était vraiment sympa de te voir et passer la journée tous ensemble. J'espère que la prochaine fois le soleil viendra aussi!

Hello Susanna,

Un village splendide qui aurait mérité un peu de soleil pour éclairer ces toitures.
La composition est de toute beautée !
Heureux de t'avoir revue à l'occasion de ce mini-meeting !

A+

Hello Susanna,
Seems you had a nice meeting, although the weather was not perfect. But for great images it's not always needed that the sun is out. You have here a nice example of that in bringing natural looking colours alive without any sunshine at all. Depth and warmth are combined in this photo with lot's of clarity and sharpness.
Very nice light you have here...i like that.
Regards, Henk

Salut Susanna,
Euh c'est quoi ca ??? c'est pas dimanche aujourd'hui... ;-)
Tu as trouve un fort bon point de vue et bien compose et expose ton image, manquait plus qu'un rayon de soleil, mais avec ce qu'on a pris peu apres sur la tete on a eu de la chance de voir cet endroit a sec !!!

Salut Susanna,
Tu as bien fais de prendre un peu plus de hauteur,l'eglise se detache bien avec le lac en arriere plan et les vignes sont un bon 1er plan pour rentrer dans le paysage...je crois que j'ai une image qui fera un bon complement a la tienne :-)
bye!

and it's always nice to see the extra pictures of a TE meeting:-) Olá Susanna, if you asked me, I would say it was a nice day because this is quite pleasing. The view is fantastic and although the lines of these vineyards make the photo, the tower and other hill in the distance also contribute much for the beauty of the picture.
regards,
ricardo
