This is what I really enjoy as a vacations : hiking in the mountains and taking pictures. This is in the south of the French Alps in a region called Champsaur. For the little story, this is the place Vivian Maier comes from. There’s a little Museum in one of the small Villages. This is not a place with high peaks covered with eternal snow, but you can get up to 3100m. That’s enough to get a very nice view on the other well known peaks like “Meije”, “Rateau” or “Barre des Ecrins”. But back to this picture, here we are not so high in the mountain, this is near the start of one of the hike we usually do in the Valley of Roanne, and that takes us to the top of “Petite Autane”. That day I was carrying my Fuji GW690 camera. And I have to say, I enjoy a lot using this camera. The patch of the rangefinder is just bright and sharp. And talking about sharp, I think these are the first scans I’m doing from negatives produced with this camera, and hell they are sharp too. So I decided to give it a shot with an enlarged digital negative and print it with cyanotype. Then toned in coffee. And here we go with an image that I like. Nothing special about it, but the level of details and the tonal range please me enough to enjoy it. Hope you’ll enjoy it too.
