Life as a Commercial Photographer based in Melbourne Australia…
The Chateau of Chenonceau…the most visited Chateau in France (after Versailles)…
I have probably used up all the superlatives on previous posts about the architecture in France, however they are all equally applicable here fairly obviously… A mix of late Gothic and early Renaissance, the Chateau was designed by the French Renaissance architect Philibert de l’Orme, and then developed further by the wife of owner Thomas Bohier, (Katherine Briconnet), which led to the Chateau being regarded as very feminine in it’s style…
This image above is a five image handheld HDR shot, processed out in Photoshop. I do shoot with HDR in mind for the majority of my commercial work (www.michaelevansphotographer.com), however it is rare that I am as unsubtle as in this image. Overdone certainly, however I just liked the result…
This two image panoramic stitch above was originally intended to be in colour only, however while processing it I saw the BW potential…any comments on which works for you welcome!
