Yoyo weather in Nice

What's going on with Mother Nature these days? It's a yoyo game she's playing. They had 32 degrees in Biarritz yesterday, and now we have 12 degrees in Nice. Go figure!

When I left home in Saint-Paul it was pretty cloudy, but Nice had a mix of sun and cloud, which is not a bad thing for photography. The clouds act like a huge soft box in the sky, pouring equal light on everything. No harsh shadows. Even better, when the sun gets through the clouds for a couple minutes, it brings a new perspective on what we see. Turned out to be a good thing today as the light was pretty good and the clouds created some great textures up there. Combined with the colors of the building in Nice, that makes a lot of contrast. I love it when it's like that.

Also, I had an Olympus Linear PCM recorder (LX-11) with me today. I thought it would be interesting to record the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks and shore. I haven't listen to it yet, but if it's usable I will probably create a short slideshow with sound. Just experimenting new things. I plan to use the recorder more regularly, when possible, to help me remember sounds and noises from a scene. Sometimes it's easier to write when you have this level of details. Could of course be simple vocal notes to myself.

Good Light,
