About the shot
The Jura at night.
Long exposure shots are special because it reveals details that you can't see at when you are there.
It was a cold dry night. the temperature of -10 degrees was reached. This means that the snow was icy and fortunately, that was no wind. So, great conditions.
I was too late, so it was completely dark and a good alternative was to use the light provided by a nearby road.
- ISO 100 of course
- F16 to have the crisp sensation.
- and 16 mm to capture the overall woods.
About the story
Jura in the winter offers thousands of possibilities
From le col de la Faucille, you can easily reach the Petit Mont Rond and from there you will have a superbe view on the Leman and on the back, you have the Alps. And in the alignment of the west you have the Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc is the European highest peak.
There is also another nice place: La Vattay. This is a large cross country ski resort. The nice part are the woods and this gives such a fantastic landscape. This is specially, the case when the snow covers the pine trees.
From the Tiocan, just above Thoiry, there are some very nice trails.
