Ci dessous quelques informations pratiques et conseils concernant un road trip dans les parcs nationaux de l’ouest américain effectué du 12 au 26 juillet 2016 (soit 2 semaines) 1 adulte et 2 enfants de 11 et 12 ans

1. Distances et temps de trajet : 3300 Km soit 235 km/jour (détail dans itinéraire ci dessous) 2. Météo : Très beau temps sur tout le séjour avec 1 journée nuageuse seulement à Bryce (et 20°). Température entre 35 et 42 ° (48° a bad water death valley à 18h..). Yosemite : 32° dans yosemite valley mais 21° sur la route du tioga pass. San Francisco : 20° et beau temps pendant 3 jours 3. Budget (3 personnes) a. Voiture : 510 $ pour 11 jours pour une ford fusion hybrid soit 46$/jour (Dollar rent a car) b. Essence : 110 $ pour 3300 Km (Prix moyen du gallon : 2,6$) c. Hotels :1880 $ soit 144 $/nuit pour une chambre de 3 (rajouter 11% de taxe) d. Repas : 1560 $ pour 13 jours (taxes et pourboires inclus), soit 40$/jour et par personne. e. Parc nationaux : 150 $ (y compris annual pass à 80$ , antelope canyon, monument valley, deadhorse point) f. Soit un total de 4210 $ pour 13 jours, hors billets d’avion et à cotés

4. Images des sites visités : http://www.travelearth-photography.com/p910296738

Itinéraire, temps trajet et étapes J’ai conçu cet itinéraire de manière à être présent dans les parc nationaux en milieu d’après midi (jusqu’au coucher du soleil) et de bénéficier ainsi d’une lumière/température bien plus avantageuse. D’autres variantes peuvent bien évidemment être aménagées en fonction des intérêts de chacun

· J1: départ 13H50 Paris arrivée 21H35 Las Vegas · J2: départ Vegas 11h- arrivée grand canyon (16h30) , nuit à Valle (30 minutes du Grand canyon) : 430 Km/4h30 · J3: grand canyon (matin)- départ 14h arrivée Page/Horse shoe bend 16h30. Nuit Page. (185 km/2h) · J4: Lower antelope canyon 8h-lake Powell / départ 14H/arrivée monument valley 16h00, nuit Mexican Hat. (193km/2h) · J5 : départ monument valley/ arrivée moab : arches national parc 13h 19h. nuit Moab (200km/2h) · J6: deadhorsepoint matin –arrivée Bryce canyon19h. Nuit Tropic. (450 km (4h30) · J7: Bryce canyon. Nuit Hatch · J8 : Bryce las Vegas via Zion (arrivée Vegas 16h30). Nuit Vegas.(400km/4h45) · J9: las vegas death valley 15h -19h. Nuit Death valley (panamint spring) (285km/3h) · J10 : panaming springs resort arrivée yosemite 14h /nuit el portal 20 minutes de yosemite. 300km/3h + 1h30 de traversé du parc minimum) · J11 : yosemite (Nuit mariposa : 50 minutes de yosemite) · J12 : départ yosemite , arrivée san francisco 15h (270km/3h) · J13 :san francisco/ retour voiture / ashburry district - Golden gate - chinatown · J14 :fishermann warf union square - départ san francisco 21h · J16 : arrivée Paris 16h45 S Quelques conseils : Prendre des hôtels avec petit dej compris, cela évitera de débourser 15$/pers (taxe et pourboires inclus). Piscine appréciable… Vegas : préférez la semaine plutôt que le week end : tarifs plus intéressants et moins de monde. S’y prendre tôt pour les réservations. Sinon, beaucoup d’hôtels complets Repas : entre 10$ et 30$/pers (steak house) GPS appréciable surtout en ville Yosemite : énormément de monde et de trafic dans la vallée, patience obligatoire. Antelope canyon : réserver à l’avance (upper)/ lower non obligatoire mais conseillé (Ken’s tour). Les images ont été prises entre 8h30 et 9h30. Balance des blancs sur nuageux. Apporter beaucoup d’eau : 3 litres par jour et par personne au minimum

Somewhere in Thailand
Hi everyone,

This isn’t a travel journal. I’m borrowing an idea from someone else who, a few years ago, thought of starting a thread to share their archived photos of this country.

I’ll be posting here from time to time—some less old, let’s say more or less recent, images. With little or no commentary. Just for the fun of it.

What photo editing software do you use?
Hi,

What software are you using?

I have Magix Deluxe and I’m wondering if there are others that are easy to use where, of course, you can add your own music to the edit. If it’s free, that’s even better so I can test it out 😊

Thanks for your feedback!

Rare phenomenon above an iceberg
Hello everyone! Photo taken at the end of August off the coast of Tasiilaq (eastern Greenland). This is that kind of halo surrounding the top of this iceberg (it’s the only one I saw like this out of thousands). It’s apparently a light diffraction effect combined with moisture freezing above the iceberg. Estimated height of the iceberg: 30 m. Have a great day!

Camera Fee at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, India
Hi,

Does anyone have recent info on the camera fee amount at Tadoba-Moharli? We spent 8 days there in the second half of February, and the local tour operator (The Wild Cat Eyes) collected 2000 rupees per camera per safari without any receipt—totaling 240,000 rupees (~265 €) for 12 safaris (9 in core zones and 3 in buffer zones). The signs at the park entrance listed 250 rupees, and the tour operator ignored our requests for an official park receipt.

Thanks in advance! Pk

I Walked Across France on Foot – 1,600 km in 52 Days, Here’s My Video Travel Journal
Hi everyone!

As a video enthusiast, I took on two challenges: walking all the way across France from north to south and filming the entire journey.

The result shows, first, that this kind of adventure is within reach for anyone, and second, how and where I camped along the way.

There are 53 videos in a single playlist for anyone who loves walking. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8LBGy77HQwpKy4qVakVTykpakdmpeZc1&si=6lHPmpa_00dan8YX

I also loved the daily encounters—nothing but wonderful people who wanted to help.

If you have any questions, I’d be happy to answer! !

What camera should I get for traveling?
Hi there,

I’d like to buy a camera to take with me everywhere while traveling and hiking. My use case: automatic mode only, for travel photos and family moments (meals, etc.). I currently have a Lumix FZ300, which has really let me down—especially in low light. I got some pretty mediocre shots from my last trip, and I definitely won’t be going back there... So, I’d like to replace it. Here’s what I’m ideally looking for: A compact camera, large sensor, decent zoom, and weather-sealed if possible. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Choosing the ideal camera for travelers
I traveled for a long time with a DSLR equipped with an 18-250mm zoom, but I gave it up two years ago and replaced it with my smartphone, which is lighter and less "intimidating" for street photography. The photo quality is good enough for nice enlargements (up to 80 cm).

A week-long trip to Puglia
Hi everyone,

Since I had a fantastic week in Puglia, and it's such a nearby and easily accessible destination from France,

I invite you to check out the article I wrote about it on my blog: www.philippebasset.com/puglia.html

I highly recommend visiting this coastal region along the Adriatic Sea for so many reasons: diverse landscapes, refined and varied cuisine, a very pleasant climate, a discreet and welcoming population, no mafia (it’s sad to say, but many Italian cities are plagued by this scourge, which brings insecurity, filth, and extortion...), and apart from July-August, there’s no risk of mass tourism!

*Dolce vita* guaranteed!

I’m happy to help if you’d like tips or recommendations :)

And plenty more photos to discover—hopefully, it’ll make you want to book a flight to Bari!

Venice Between COVID Waves
Between COVID waves, our Plan B took us to Venice from Trento. Quite the journey, indeed.

Hardly anyone in the City of Doges. The photos even won me a People's Choice Award at an exhibition in 2023.

And La Fenice... What beauty.

Wild Camping in Southern Africa
Hey everyone,

I’m sharing a slightly unusual travel journal with three goals. To make it work, this discussion should stay in the travel journal section so we can find it easily and keep adding info to existing posts.

This journal is meant to help "newbies" discover these magical places.

We go to Southern Africa not just for the animals, but also for that soft light, the atmosphere, and those incredible wild campsites where you feel so at home... I’d love for you all to share your favorite spots here—those we miss so much.

The last goal is figuring out how to photograph them. Honestly, I’m not happy with my photos because they don’t capture the feeling I get when I’m there or that unique atmosphere.

I’ll start with one of the first spots that, for me, is one of the most beautiful in Southern Africa: Passarge Valley 2 in the Central Kalahari. There, you’re alone—completely alone. The next campsite is over 25 km away, and that’s a half-day of 4x4 driving. In front of you, there’s nothing but the CKGR plains with herds of springboks... absolutely stunning 😎

3 days in the Camargue
3 days in the Camargue... it’s really not enough!

I didn’t know the area before, but the Camargue is packed with "experiences": - Taking the ferry - Walking on the beaches and watching the kitesurfers - Crossing the dike on an electric bike - Horseback riding along the shore - Visiting a *manade* and attending an *abrivade* (cattle roundup) - Exploring Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, Aigues-Mortes, or Arles - Touring the salt flats of Giraud or Aigues - Photographing birds at the Parc du Pont de Gau - Watching a bull race and cheering on the *razeteurs* (bull-chasers) - Experiencing a Gypsy evening - Hiking "flat" among the reeds - Tasting bull meat - Relaxing in a peaceful haven - Testing mosquito repellent - ...

Needless to say, we didn’t have time to do it all in 3 days. We’ll be back!

A few tips: - For relaxation: a gorgeous guesthouse, *Le Mas de Bouvet* - For *manades*: the one at Baumelles, with a *Guytou* (herdsman) as warm as he is passionate - For tasting bull meat: *Le Chante Clair* in Les Saintes-Maries - And for birds: the Parc du Pont de Gau

If you’re a photographer, the park lets you stay until 6:00 PM, and afterward, you’re free to leave whenever you want. Those are the best hours for observing and photographing birds. But it’s also where you’ll see massive telephoto lenses that’ll make you feel small if all you’ve got is a small hybrid camera (like my Lumix G80) with a 100-300mm lens.

A few photo memories—starting with the *Manade de Baumelles*:

One country, 5 snapshots
Hi there,

I suggest we take a little visual trip around the world while we wait to experience some of these destinations on your future travels. 😉

The concept is simple: one country, 5 photos that, for you, capture the essence of that country. The same country can be shared by multiple participants.

Everything goes, and the thread is open to anyone who wants to join—budding photographers, pros, or complete newbies...

Just one rule: no bad vibes! 🙂

Identification d'un marquage au Père Lachaise
Bonjour à tous et toutes,

Il y a quelques années, j'avais fait cette photo jointe sur l'un des monuments funéraires du cimetière du Père Lachaise. J'avais à l'époque, posé la question de sa signification sur le forum, mais pas vraiment de réponse satisfaisante. Reste mon interrogation, donc je "reviens à la charge " avec cette photo. Merci à tous les chercheurs, connaisseurs... Pour ma part, ce n'est pas le 7 en lui même qui m'intrigue, mais le quadruple sur fond de delta lumineux! Bonne journée
