Beauty, it is said, is in the eyes of the beholder. I started collecting a list of my most liked pictures on Flickr and the result is not what I was expecting. When I compare it to my own favourite list of pictures on my Flickr profile page, I realise they are completely different.<\/p>\n

A list of my most-liked photos on Flickr\u2009\u2013\u2009Yann Gourvennec photography<\/h2>\n

There is a saying according to which, it\u2019s every man to its tastes. When I discovered this ranking, I felt like providing a few explanations and, wherever applicable, showing my favourite ones next to yours.<\/p>\n

\"Yann
Val de\u00a0Grace<\/a>\u2009\u2013\u2009Yann Gourvennec Photography\u2009\u2013\u2009antimuseum.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The above view of the Val de\u00a0Grace<\/a> in Paris isn\u2019t bad, but it\u2019s my least favourite shot of this place. You know how it is, you post stuff online, \u2018just in case\u2026\u2019, and you never give it a second thought even though you should. I much prefer the one below. Maybe it\u2019s because I cycle past this building almost on a daily basis, I know what is behind this blurry shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why are we Taking Pictures?<\/h3>\n

I like the tilt-shift<\/a> even better. The focus, as in the above picture, is a bit erratic and possibly, this is what is making the image most interesting.<\/p>\n

Above all, this is triggering questions about why we shoot these photos. Documenting an old listed building like Anne of Austria\u2019s former Abbey is nice but maybe not that useful.<\/p>\n

I suppose it\u2019s been done a thousand times. It doesn\u2019t mean one shouldn\u2019t do it, but finding a new angle is certainly more thought-provoking.<\/p>\n

\"Yann
The Elderly Couple in Ch\u00e2teau-Thierry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, the one above I really like. It\u2019s nice to see an elderly couple like this on a quiet stroll on a hot May afternoon. On that day, more than 10 years ago\u2009\u2013\u2009time flies\u2009\u2013\u2009I was carrying my camera on my way to a concert. I saw them two on the river bank and I did what I could regardless of where the Sunshine was coming.<\/p>\n

Not the Best Conditions for a Picture<\/h3>\n

Well, in fact, it was pretty much above our heads judging by the shadows. Probably the worst conditions for a picture.<\/p>\n

I managed a decent shot, though and the sepia filter I chose is quite nostalgic. I\u2019m not unhappy with that picture even though I wouldn\u2019t deal with it in that way now. And I would probably get rid of that brownish thing (a flower bed?) on the left-hand side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now, there is a story about the above picture. It was taken during one of the interminable 2020 lockdowns. In May 2020, we had a lot of thunderstorms around here. As I was stuck in my flat not really able to take pictures and an idea came to my mind.<\/p>\n

After the shower<\/h3>\n

I came down the stairs right after a shower in order to take photographs of the roses in the flower beds right outside our block of flats.<\/p>\n

Equipped with my beloved Nikon\u00a0105\u00a0mm macro lens, I then set to take pictures. I\u2019m not unhappy with them. But I would be lying if I said that they are my favourites. Possibly, my preferred rose picture was the one I took in May 2019 in the famous Rose Garden of La\u00ff les roses<\/a> in the south of Paris. Here it is for your benefit.<\/p>\n

\"Yann
There is only one drop on that rose, but it\u2019s ideally placed and I\u2019m much happier with that picture than the other one. Besides I love the green bokeh. Same 105\u00a0mm Nikon macro lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nonetheless it\u2019s funny that the lockdown, which was so little conducive to good photography, led to one of my favourite pictures on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This time I agree with my readers. This is indeed one of my favourite pictures. Isles of Scilly – 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Concerning the above shot, taken off the shores of the main island of the Isles of Scilly Archipelago, I\u2019m very much in sync with my readers.<\/p>\n

This is indeed one of my favourite photos. I didn\u2019t give much thought to this one, though. I was standing in a boat trying to keep my balance doing what I could, not to be thrown overboard by one of the savage waves surrounding this reef.<\/p>\n

A Blurry-but-Nice Lens<\/h3>\n

The boat kept moving, I was shivering with the cold, and I was holding to my bulky D810<\/a> and my very weighty \u2018blurry-but-nice\u2019 24\u201370 mm lens. It\u2019s blurry because it doesn\u2019t have a stabiliser. I bought it secondhand, and there is no vibration reduction feature on it. The good thing about it is that I don\u2019t need it any more with my newer D850 and Z7, my new cameras, because Nikon equipped both bodies with stabilisers.<\/p>\n

Back in those days I didn\u2019t have them. Only the 810 which isn\u2019t stabilised. The raw file isn\u2019t very good at all, and I won\u2019t even show it to you. This was intentional. Because we were out in the open and the brightness was so intense that taking a properly exposed picture of this reef at that moment in that position would\u2019ve meant having an all-white photo.<\/p>\n

Underexposing in the Bright Light<\/h3>\n

Then I decided to underexpose grossly the raw file. It gave me an opportunity to highlight the foreground by pushing the levers while keeping the background intact with its beautiful clouds. I definitely love this photo and a couple of others that I took over there.<\/p>\n

Definitely not the best conditions for photography but the result is, I find, very compelling. And it doesn\u2019t really matter that the picture isn\u2019t super sharp, that\u2019s what I like about this lens, the \u2018blurry-but-nice\u2019 lens.<\/p>\n

Other Pictures\u2009\u2013\u2009Yann Gourvennec Photography<\/h3>\n

I like that one too. The lighthouse is in fact rather far away from the house in the foreground. The menacing clouds and the bright sunshine make for good dramatic photography. Ouistreham in Normandy\u2009\u2013\u2009December 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another lockdown picture. I had to make do with what was around me. This plant is in the hall of our building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m not crazy about that one, it seems that Flickr users found it nice. The never-ending love affair of tourists with the Louvre I suppose.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
I was rather astonished when I saw that picture of a rather nondescript derelict house in Versailles appear in the top\u00a010.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Villennes-sur-Seine<\/h3>\n
\"\"
An all-time favourite of my Flickr visitors. The old miniature railway station in Villennes-sur-Seine<\/a>\u2009\u2013\u2009In dire need of a good paint job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Villennes-Sur-Seine again. Who would think this place is barely a 30\u00a0min drive away from the centre of Paris? Nothing but peace and quiet\u2009\u2013\u2009Yann Gourvennec photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s of any interest to you, but I\u2019ve had good fun reviewing these pictures; and reminiscing about the context in which I took them.<\/p>\n

And I have to add that I\u2019m not doing a very good job on Flickr. I merely use the tool as a repository for my photos.<\/p>\n

I tend to shove them up there without even giving a thought to them and then I forget all about them. This is probably the worst thing you could do on a social platform, but I don\u2019t care that much.<\/p>\n

Maybe if I spent a little more time on it, I could get much more visibility \u2026 with the right pictures, I mean.<\/p>\n

I will need to think about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
