Very nice series and use of IR. There is something very ancient about the shape of those rocks.

thanks!
Øivind: yes, the "massif armoricain" is one of the oldest chain of mountains in France, actually not much of a mountain anymore.
Erik: any place is good for a workshop as long as you are in the company of knowledgeable and fun people. and a drop or two of something to keep you hydratad and stimulated if I understand well. There is plenty of this in Brittany.

the next shot sows the tallest lighthouse in Europe, le phare de l'ile de la Vierge (the Virgin's island lighthouse). It is about 80 meters tall, visible from 50 km around. My son counted 381 steps. Getting there is already and adventure as the boat has to sail around hundreds of rock, you really have to trust the captain. Maybe a prayer to the virgin can help as well!
The island itself is quite small, probably 200 or 300 meters long, and covered with a an extremely soft vegetation. one has the impression to walk on a very think and soft mattress. it is very tirering!

I know nothing of the techniques & subtleties of IR but love the end results shown here.

The last two on page 1  particularly intrigue me. In #3 the rocks almost look like a sleeping Wolfhound!
#5 would be impressive even in normal light. It strikes a chord with me as we've just returned from Dartmoor in the SW of England. Many of the Tors and rocky outcrops there had a similar feel to this image (processing of these will have to wait another week, then I hope to post some).

thank you Colin and Jørgen.
It was quite enjoyable to be (almost) IR only, and it must say it felt very strange and totally unnatural to see "normal" images through the viewfinder of the X-T1 when I was quick enough to grab if before my wife did.

Next image shows the mandatory staircase from the inside of the lighthouse, with somewhat tweeked colors.
Fortunately I was able to use the back screen of the camera, looking down was out of question for me!

Hey, Olivier, if you want to kill me, you don't need neither a knife or a gun.  You can just show some larger version of this picture of the lighthouse staircase, and I will surely die of hartattack.

The lighthouse is a worthy addition to this series Olivier.

Agreed - don't view this with scary music on at the same time ;)
