Headaching and shooting the Old World (Pic Heavy!)
Man I love the southern parts, there's a supermodel looking woman in every single corner and the people are skinniest in the continent.
Well they'd better lock up their daughters, sons and their farm animals, cos I'm getting ready to roll through!!
Great pictures Endrik, you have a good eye. (Apparently the rest of you is no great shakes though!). That first Biarritz pic is like a painting, excellent. If my pics came out half as good I'd be happy. More please!
So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!

Cool shit Endy, and Mr. Smacker, I enjoyed your trip report as always. Keep em coming.
The Coast from Aquitaine to Bretagne is fucking killing me, 300 miles of tits, waves, tits, waves, tits, waves, tits, waves... must get back... now!!! Man I love the southern parts, there's a supermodel looking woman in every single corner and the people are skinniest in the continent. My dick is still in a cast.
I hope you stop telling us about tits and tits and more tits and let us see the tits.
enough of this, where are "our" pictures???????
I'm gonna be a Plan B free agent, I'm outta here and want to know what town we'll be slacking in.
Patience garcon, I'm in the talks with people in Milano and Barcelona to purchase either Duomo Di Milano or Gaudi's Casa Mila. It depends how much I have to spend on the vineyards in Provence, either way I'm happy

Ahh but you know how the Augusts are, everyone has a vacation and all the south will be full of foreign tourists and Parisians. I mean even in July all the southern countries were full of Dutch. Every second car had a Dutch plate. I think there's about 3 people in Netherlands right now.
Gonna be a hell of an orgy though!
As far as the photos go. I prepared a little bit his time. I took a decent camera and used other modes rather than the good old automatic. There's so much you can do with shutter speed, aperture sizes, exposure compensation, white balance etc. Actually pretty easy once you get use to it.
And I like really intense warm colors. And they are great in the south as the lighting and the colours are naturally there. But it's kinda tricky to capture them. I put all the saturation, sharpness, color tempereture to the max on the camera. And I used circular polarizer filter lens which makes the colors warmer, takes away the mirroring effect and shadiness. A lot of people edit their pics with photoshop and whatnot but I'd like to get a good shot first without any of that computer crap.

Endrik, you have the eye of an artist! The composition, the subleties of light and contrast. It's great !!!You know you could make some serious money selling some of these pics. In fact just these pics here would make a great portfolio to sell youself with.

Thanks man! My mom takes great shots and her father was an amazing hobby photographer. But I have a long way to go. I started to take this thing seriously just recently. I can make good shots but I don't have the stability yet. And it takes some heavy practice before I can really start selling photos. My mom visits some local photography boards and says that photo nerds are probably are the biggest pedants out there. So anal about every single detail.
Luckly taking shots is like playing guitar. Not a lot of science, just gotta practice and you learn on the way what works and what doesn't.

really awesome shots you took there. you have a good eye for beauty.
every single picture could get printed as a postcard or something, great work!
I hope you enjoy your further trip and have a good time!
and keep us posted with your pictures!
Endrik, you are too modest. Regardless of your technical proficiency with your camera, which is obviously not inconsequential, you have a fantastic eye for composition. That's innate. You got it, bro.
I realize this is a hobby for you- but I guarantee that some of the shots on this board are going to show up somewhere commercial. Looks like you brought the size down to "internet sharp" sizes (I copied one to see) which should keep people from pulling the hi-res print-quality images & putting them up on a stock photo site for sale, claiming them as their own copyright- Which with some of them I would have absolutely no doubt would happen. They're really quite stunning.
Anyway, great work. Thank you for posting them here.
