French Countryside – Towns and Castles
Notice: Undefined variable: read_more in /home/scottp12/public_html/wp-content/themes/traction/archive.php on line 34
Here is a set of my favourite shots that I captured while travelling around the French Countryside. There are so many medieval castles and towns dotted around the place, and each little town is unique in some way, with beautiful streams passing through them or thriving markets with bazaar items being sold.
This is actually two photographs stitched together in PTgui (perfect stitch as always :P), Just a little town in the beautiful Southern French Countryside.

I’ve selected some of the better shots that I took in Paris. I’ve done a lot of HDR on this set :)
I adjusted the levels a little to boost the colours and detail in the structure.

On my trip to France I visited the famous Viaduc de Millau, and was just amazed by the sheer size of it. Le Viaduc de Millau is nestled in the Valley of the River Tarn and towers over the nearby town of Millau.
Unfortunately it was very cold there and the sky was bland, so I used levels and some dramatic lighting to increase the contrast and create something a little more interesting.

I was recently in France (about 2 months ago) and I toured around the southern country side for a week, snapping away at the amazing medieval towns dotted around the stunning Loire Valley. My absolutely favourite town that I stayed at on my way to Paris was Amboise!
“The city is famous for the Clos Lucé manor house where Leonardo da Vinci lived (and ultimately died) at the invitation of King Francis I of France, whose Château d’Amboise, which dominates the town, is located just 500 meters away. The narrow streets contain some good examples of timbered housing.” [Read the rest on Wikipedia]
