As we where approaching the small town of Rouyn-Norenda last month, the setting sun started to gives us the best show he could come up with. We were driving on a small road without much to photograph, but I had to find something anyway.
So here is some of the photos I shot that I finally post-processed for mu stock archive today.

Je ne me considère pas comme un photographe de paysage, loin de là. Mais lorsqu’une scène intéressante me saute au visage, je ne pointerai certainement pas mon appareil photo dans la direction opposée.
J’arrivais à Piopolis, petit village sur les rives du Lac Mégantic, en assignation pour The Gazette pour faire un portrait. Je suis alors passé devant cette cabane à sucre (pour mes lecteurs de France…). Les couleurs, les contrastes, l’ambiance… Je l’entendais me crier « prend moi en photo! »
Le village n’étant situé qu’à quelques kilomètres de la frontière américaine, j’en ai profité pour aller prendre quelques photos du Maine. Toujours difficile d’expliquer à un douanier qu’on veut juste traverser pour une heure, et qu’on n’a AUCUNE idée de ce qu’on veut photographier ni même de ce qu’il y a l’autre bord des « lignes »… J’avais eu le même problème à Buffalo.
This summer, I had the chance to do a very neat commercial job (can’t show you what it is just yet) that needed some photos from above. During my scouting in places that people do not usually have access to, I took some photos that turned really nice.
Here are some of them. Many more (and some others shot before that) Quebec city photos from above on my stock site
