Original post
bonjour à tous,
Lors de mon prochain voyage je vais faire une étape de madaba vers la mer morte en passant par jerash, partant de madaba le matin je me pose la question d'abords aller à jerash du matin et faire la route de madaba vers Hammamat ma in l'aprés midi ou bien faire en premier cette route du matin profiter de l'occasion pour deposer mes bagages à l'hôtel le long de la mer morte et l'aprés midi faire un aller retour à Jerash, d'un point de vue lumière pour la photographie que me conseillez vous? L'aprés midi la vue des hauteurs vers la mer morte n'est elle pas grillée par le soleil de face?
D'avance merci à vous!
Ps: à l'occasion si vous avez aussi de bons tuyaux pour des super photos je suis preneur! Plus les rochers sont découpés et colorés mieux c'est ! (évidement je passe quelques jours à Petra et wadi rum)!
Le matin, la mer morte peut être un peu voilée. Je te conseille donc d'aller à Jerash le matin et de faire la mer Morte l'après-midi. Si tu veux un endroit insolite pour les photos, je te conseille la route allant de Tafila à Fifa. Pour commencer, tu fais la route du bor de mer (mer Morte) et tu montes vers la vallée de Dana en passant par les villages cités ci-dessus. C'est magnifique !
Autre endroit vraiment sympa, la route allant de Wadi Musa à Little Petra !

Une nouvelle fois merci Franck pour tes précieux conseils et ta réactivité sur le site!
C'est bien noté, on part dans 2 jours, je t'en dirai des nouvelles aprés notre retour!
Bonsoir. Attention, aller-retour Madaba-Jerash, 3h mini en voiture, et visite Jerash idem. Donc cela ne tient pas dans une demi-journée. Et je crois moi que la vue sur la Mer morte depuis tous les points hauts des environs, est meilleure le matin car le soleil est dans le dos. J'ai pu comparer avec l'après-midi et c'est là qu'on avait la brume et le soleil en face. Mais moi, c'était en Juillet alors cela change peut-être la donne...Bon voyage.

salut Yves,
comme alquesn je pense pour les photos le matin c'est le mieux. En plus comme ça tu fais le tour dans le bon sens, car là (encore😉) une forte descente vers la mer Morte, après tu peux remonter la vallée du Jourdain et rejoindre Jerash via Ajlun.
Cela permet de ne pas passer deux fois par les banlieux et les rocades d'Amman assez encombrées & pas toujours évidentes.
Bon voyage !!!!

La photo au Moyen-Orient est assez délicate en regard de la puissance de la lumière. Soit le matin très tôt soit en fin de journée. Comme partout en fait.
Vous pouvez vous retrouver dans la situation où il vous est impossible de revenir le soir pour fixer l'image de vos rêves. Il faut donc passer en mode manuel pour les réglages. Et si l'image vous semble encore trop fade, il vous reste les logiciels de retouche. Adobe CS5 ou Lightroom 4.
Voici deux images prises avec un D7000 en milieu de journée et retouchées car assez fades au départ. Deux images prises sur Qalya/Qumram à deux encablures de la Dead Sea coté Israélien.

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.

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!

Winter is here. It's that time of year when we sort through our photos. Bryce Canyon in pictures. It's one of the most iconic sites in the USA.

I’ve gotten into the habit of making photo/video/music montages of my trips using Movie Maker
Are there any free software options with better quality? Thanks

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!

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

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! !

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!

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).

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!

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.

Hi everyone,
I spent a couple of weeks in the Shetlands (Unst, Yell, and Mainland) last October in the north of Scotland. I’m sharing my discoveries from this rarely talked-about destination.
I’m updating my travel journal as I go.

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... 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*:

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! 🙂

Hello à tous,
je pars en voyage en Angleterre et envisage de remonter toute l'écosse en voiture / stop. Je suis photographe semi pro et ayant déjà eu pas mal de déboires en voyage avec mon matériel, j'aimerais bien l'assurer contre notamment les dommages accidentels etc.
deux questions:
- est ce que vous le feriez avec votre assurance maison?
- est ce que vous prendriez une assurance dédiée? et si oui, directement dans le pays concerné?
j'ai vu ce site https://hello-safe.co.uk/camera-insurance
avec des assureurs dédies comme photoguard et assetsure qui m'ont l'air bien surtout pour un voyage longue durée. vous en pensez quoi?
merci bcp

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
