A dam on the Saone Photo

Photographer’s Note

This view is taken near the tunnel of Saint Albin. This underground channel connects two arms of the Saone. It is 681m long and wide 6.55M.

It was built under Napoleon III. Work began in 1843, but were arrested in 1853 and 1854. The recovery of these and became complete in 1880.

Here is one arm of the saone where boats cannot
navigate. I'll post a photo soon of the underground channel wich is very impressive. in the meantime I hope you'll enjoy this one.

Bonsoir Cyrille,

Une composition traitée en noir blanc bien contrasté, l'idée est bonne, elle augmente la sensation de force. Bon cadrage.

Amitiés

Salut Cyrile, an excellent B&W photo of this amazing place. The effect of the shutter on the water is impressive and I look forward to seeing the shot of the underground tunnel. Have a good week, Lisa.

Bonsoir Cyrille,

gosto dos tons carregados e dos fortes contrastes nessa composição em p&b. A perspectiva da represa está excelente e o movimento da água traz dinamismo à composição. Um belo registro!
Amitiés,
Carlos

Bonjour Cyrille,
Le noir et blanc te réussis bien, ou tu réussis bien le noir et blanc. Le cadrage pentu est original et ajoute au mouvement de l'eau. La profondeur est évidente. Une belle réalisation très nette et contrastée. Bravo.
Bonne journée
Amicalement
