This morning I decided to take some of the photos that I took in Monet's garden back in 1999 and post them as a slide show. We stopped there for an hour or two before driving on to Rouen. The gardens were very crowded.
I took these 20 years ago using my first digital camera, a Kodak Digital Science DC260. I also processed them in Photoshop Elements to crop, contrast, and apply effects to them. Some of these are me doing my impression of an Impressionist....
I am so glad that you posted these photos. I could, and probably will, watch them over and over.
ReplyDeleteThanks for telling me that.
DeleteThis brings back such good memories. I still have to find my set of photos taken the same day. As I recall, I saved them at the time from KDC to PICT. And used Photoshop to remove as many people as I could! When I find them, I'll have to save fhem in JPG. Such is life!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great slideshow that I'll come back to. Thank you for that.
It's true, that trip to Giverny and Rouen is a very good memory. It's the only time I've ever been to Giverny. My photos out of the Kodak DC260 were already in JPG format, I think.
DeleteThat's a good slideshow without too many people. You were there for poppies which I've missed in my two trips. I think the gardens are always crowded, but there are always beautiful flowers- there must be a large staff of gardeners!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ken, for composing that slide show for us. Every shot is one to be lingered over.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Ken, great work, many thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Giverny, so thanks for these great views.
ReplyDeleteKen, these pictures are great. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely, thank you. Giverny is on My List, as is Honfleur.
ReplyDeleteLast winter, I drove with a French friend from her home near Sword Beach over to Fecamp to visit her old family friend who had landed on D-Day with the French forces, and to walk on the beaches below the chalk cliffs. Normandy is such an amazing area.
Thank you so much for this. I sent the link to my Monet-loving granddaughters. Seeing Giverny was a highlight of their trip to Paris.
