Graniers' photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Relative beginner. I live part of the time in small village in the Cévennes, France and part of the time in the UK. I love swimming, walking, beer, wine and reading, dry stone walls, olives, as well as my new camera. I work part-time and I am addicted to Flickr.

I need lots of criticism of my photos, both technical and artistic/ emotional, and I look forward to getting a lot of that, its far more interesting than just saying : nice photo...

Ravages says:

"Where do I begin?
Patrick is definitely one of the friendliest photographer I've had the good fortune to know. And amongst the most diligent. And creative.
Over the years, he has, with a gentle nudge here and a quiet word there, guided me, and many like me, towards bettering their selves and their photography."

"(sorry in french,because of my very poor english !)
Patrick est un excellent photographe !
Excellent car il reste sans cesse les yeux grand ouverts, en s'emmerveillant des petits riens, des jolies choses de la vie.
Il nous restitue tous ces voyages avec simplicité, beauté et un grand sens de la composition photographique !
Bravo encore ... et merci de partager tout cela !"

"Patrick has an amazing eye for artistic composition which seems to be constantly evolving, as I am ceaselessly amazed at the shots he produces. His technical prowess is quickly catching up with his artistic abilities and he is constantly learning from comments from his peers.

I am proud to have been involved in at least one of Patrick's shots even though my involvement is minimal, and wish I had the same vision for my shots. lol.

Thank you for letting me into your slice of life Patrick, I am looking forward to seeing the next fantastic shot you produce. ;o)"

"Thanks to him, I found out about Flickr! But I've also enjoyed watching how Flickr has been having an impact on his photographer's eye, he is so open to comments and uses each as a way of developing his skills. He's also a very special person - open, caring and fun. A friend well worth having."
