Please welcome our newest guest contributor – Ian Myers

This is a photograph of the Château de la Preuille taken in 2022 on the Canon 6D Mark II, using an ND filter for the long exposure of the sky.  The château was once a supplier of Muscadet white wine to Président Mieterrand.  But now the wine business and château are two different entities.  The château is now  available for hire as an events venue and offers accommodation in the historic towers.
About Ian

A musician, a photographer, a writer, a lover of good food, with a particular weakness for a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake. Originally from the UK, but I drifted, and have been living in France for the last 30 years. The first 20 are the hardest, and then you just stop fighting it, man!

On a more serious note, I am 52, have been into photography since childhood, and things got serious in 1987 when I bought my first SLR, the Praktica MTL3, that I still have. It was what I learnt my craft with. Old School, for some, and normal for others. Digital came along, but film remained a constant. And now I do both. A camera is but a tool after all. Some do certain things better than others.

Since 2019 I have been blogging about my photographic journey, and have lately written articles about how to. More what kind of approach to have (in my opinion of course), and aiming to demystify this passion that we share, whilst drawing on 40 years experience as an amateur photographer. The ethos being something along the lines of, if I can, then you can.

      Flattery my Dear Man, Flattery! I hope I will be able to find some more great photos to share here. I have a couple of candidates up my sleeves… But I can’t ruin the surprise can I now?
