Savoir vivre! - Shooting the Lavender Fields of the Haute-Provence

Amazing Lavender Fields in Southern France

Last year me and my family went to southern France and explored the Haute-Provence. I have to say, it is the most stunning landscape I have ever seen. From high mountain ranges to the sea, with deep canyons in-between it is just amazing!

But what I will really never forget are the almost infinite lavender fields! It is an awesome experience, just standing in the middle of them, smelling, seeing, feeling. It drives your senses crazy, honestly!

As you can see, it is a good idea to check out different locations at different times of the day. My main advice is to go for the sunrise or sunset and avoid the harsh light during daytime. And don't be scared to shoot directly into the sun!

Stay sharp and Carpe Diem, Steemians!

Beautiful stunning photography.

Thats really something.. I would give my lens away for a shot like that!

Thank you @lenscape! But you should keep it, otherwise you can't take more stunning photos. :)
It is all about going to a place several times, failing, trying again until you get the shot, believe me, it wasn't easy.
Cheers!

Omg! How stunning are your pictures? The lavender fields in south France - that's exactly where I wanna go!

Thank you <3
