During my summer holiday I went to Chamonix in France for two weeks. While there me and my dad went walking on the mountains that make up the valley. From the large amount of photos I took while there, these three are some of my favourites.
The first image is a black and white shot looking towards the Mer du Glace glacier and I think the black and white helps pick out the detail in the scenery. The white cloud is actually snow blowing from the top of the mountain in a fierce gale.
The next image was taken at Lac Blanc and is looking in the same direction. The final image is looking towards Mont Blanc, with some handy pine trees being used to nicely frame the image. I wasn’t sure if the picture would work, but it seems to look quite good all the same.
All these images were taken using a Canon A85 digital camera with UV filter. The Lac Blanc photo also has a graduated grey filter, and the B&W photo was processed by my camera’s black and white mode.
