Auvergne Photo Gallery by Marc Demoulin at pbase.com

Auvergne

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Most of my childhood and adolescence is here in these corn and wheat fields and small streets
in Clermont-Ferrand. As well, my first trials in photography were made with those landscapes
all around our house in Sardon near Aigueperse with a Nikon EM and a NIKKOR 135 mm.
This gallery is dedicated to my parents and my brother Pierre.
July 2004.
Closed gallery. Press F11 for full screen vision.

Hi Marc! I was just showing my husband your wonderful series of galleries and happened upon this one of Auvergne. Lovely. The first photo especially captured me. (We lived in France three years.) V

Very nice Gallery!

Beautiful gallery... love the fields. We have corn and wheat in Indiana, too, but no mountains in the background. I especially like the first one with the barn and also the one with the corn stalks on the foreground. Nice work!

Stunning gallery that conveys the colours and atmosphere of the area.

Sergio Padura	PM reply	12-Jun-2005 19:19
The smell of a wheat field on a late spring or early summer afternoon. The sound of the spikes with the breeze,...what a marvellous gallery, Marc.

Fort belle région que l'Auvergne. Néanmoins trop peu connue à mon goût !

Guitarlin	PM reply	18-Nov-2004 16:12
c'est une representation bien faite de calme et d'eternite.

Guest	PM reply	31-Oct-2004 16:44
I have spent 20 years of my life in Auvergne (Chatel Guyon, Riom, Clermont...), then Paris and now Boston. Thank you for sharing this gallery, most of my childhood is here. I was working in these corn fields during the summer ! Your pictures are great, the colors are breathtaking. But old town Clermont would be so much nicer if it was cleaner... I will never understand the people who are doing all those graffiti on the walls. More pictures, please ! Nicolas.

Une galerie "impressive" comme diraient nos amis d'outre atlantique harmonie des teintes, jeu avec une lumière parfois difficile, compositions "léchées" Profondeur de champs et amplitude pour certaines, sens du cadrage serrés pour d'autre et toujours des lignes, des perspectives impeccable. un travail ou un plaisir d'artiste, mon ami Que du bon A+ Gilles

Rochelle Cardinale	PM reply	26-Oct-2004 03:32
Marc, all of your galleries are very striking. Was difficult to decide which one to comment on, but I am partial to this one because it reminds me of Iowa in the US. You have truly shown how beautiful your country can be. Je ne parle pas francais tres bien, mais Merci.

Titi de la Gwada, c'est vrai que celle-là nous rassemble plus que les autres pour toutes les raisons que nous savons. Ce n'est pas la plus belle, je l'ai faite en quatre heures mais...j'ai un pincement au coeur chaque fois que je retourne là-bas. Merci de ton passage. Take care! Marc

Que dire sinon "bravo" pour cette serie qui me touche plus qu'une autre, bien qu'elles soient toute superbe.J'aime en regardant ces photos me souvenir d'une expo à tes débuts qui j'en était convaincu présagait déja de ton talent pour cet art.

i lived in saintes which is one hour outside of bordeaux when i was studying architecture then. i also started to photograph new york cityscape as i too realized that i wanted to have picture of where i live. looking forward to seeing more landscapes. howard

Marc Demoulin	PM reply	14-Oct-2004 16:17
Howard thanks, I started photography with landscapes of that region where I've been living during almost all my youth. I've kept no image of that time so that in July I decided to go back there for a business trip and had only fews free hours for this collection. Will improve. Where have you been in France? RGDS Marc

howard chu	PM reply	12-Oct-2004 00:08
marc. i think this gallery is most ineresting for me (maybe because i spent a year in france) but also i like the way in which the pictures invites you into the landscape with color and light. great stuff! howard
