I'm a 22-year-old French girl and I live in Brittany, in the Forest of Broceliande (or Paimpont, it's the same). I lived in Chinon (center of France) and near Paris before.
I have practised photography for many years, animals and nature most of all.
You must wonder why I registered here In fact I want to speak and share my hobby with other people from an other country, especially if they live in England (I dream to live there, maybe one day...) and I think it's a good way to start with forums
I took this shot, called Unreal, (if I added it well, however you can see it here) on 12.12.08. It shows the Lake of Paimpont at the end of a special day. Indeed there was fog all the day, and it became really magic in the evening. It was the first time I photographed in fog, now I'm waiting it comes back Informations about it : Canon 400D | 1/100 | 5.6 | 1600 | 18 mm
I used to go on many forums but I never see one like this one (layout etc. ), I hope I didn't make mistakes with my first topic
Ok, now I stop rereading my message or I'm gonna become mad

Hello Celie
Welcome, and a nice first post. Has a great atmosphere about it and the fact that there is no horizon adds impact.
The weather over here is like that all the time by the way ! (joking)
Look forward to seeing more .
Cheers

Hi Celie,
A nice endless and mysterious shot.
This time of the year there are a lot of that evenings (and mornings) over here in the Netherlands.
May be it's time for me to try that also.

Welcome, excellent first post, looking forward to seeing more.

Sorry, I couldn't answer before (work, studies, Christmas...)
Thanks for your welcome and your opinion on this shot, I still waiting a new day with fog but now weather is really sunny but cold, really cold.
I can't believe it's always like this in England, Brittany has a bad reputation too but it's not true (not always... apart this year )
Frederic => Maybe, I don't really know red wine (I don't like it) Coteaux du Layon, Ladubay or Samur champigny (white) are my favourites
