Guadeloupe Photo Gallery by Marc Demoulin at pbase.com

Guadeloupe

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

My impressions of the island around six main topics: urbanscapes and natural textures arranged
alternately in contrast, my first trials in macro (hand-held) with flora and fauna,
then churches and graveyards, boats, and seascapes.
Dedicated to Catherine and Max for their kindness and hospitality, Yasmina who was there
the week before and certainly guided my feet, Titi and Gilou in St Barth.
N.B.: despite what man can read in some internet forums, and despite sand, sweat, moisture
and even a strong wave on the camera bag, the NIKON D70 works perfectly in tropical
conditions provided two precautions are taken: avoid any brutal change from wet and
hot air to air-conditionned (cars!!) and remove battery when camera is not used for hours.
Of course, we have a deep thought for all the people who, at that time, lost
their lives or all they had in the other end of the world. December 2004.
Closed gallery. Press F11 for full screen vision.

Bonjour Marc, This is a very appealing gallery with a lot of variety. You really represented the many contrasts of Guadeloupe very well in many pictures in this gallery. I give you my vote...

une bonne gallerie pour entamer la nouvelle année ! tes photos un peu abstraites au jardin botanique sont vraiment bien amenées avec des coloris interessants. je n'ai pas encore tout regardé. Bonne année pleine de jolies photos :)

a wonderfully composed/crop gallery of images of an island's nature and its surroundings. you have just shown me there is something more than animals on this interesting island.

Je ressort de la visite de cette galerie avec difficulté et envie Une vrais belle galerie "voyage" mais technique, variée, originale Pas d'image "ventre mou", tout est bon, donc une force supplémentaire Et toutes les facettes d'un vrai talent Bravo Gilles
