Brittany – summer 2010 (02)
Stroll from Lannion to Trebeurden
Brittany – summer 2010 (01)
Some pictures taken this summer with my Canon S90 (as discussed here), post-produced with DxO, as usual now.
Surely not the sharpness of my Canon 5D MarkII with the different lenses, but very convenient (size, weight, manual setup).
Lannion
French Provence – Hyères (04)
After Saint Tropez, the Porquerolles Island and our Bed & Breakfast location, let’s have a look at the fantastic village of Bormes les Mimosas. This was really a great day, worth a visit if you are near this place.

French Provence – Hyères (03)
We have positively experienced our first Bed & Breakfast at Hyères, at La Buanderie. Nice place with nice people, very comfortable, great garden with old big trees. Really cool!

French Provence – Hyères (02)
I have forgotten to continue to publish my portfolio about our trip to Hyères, south-east of France in the Provence region, trip we have done mid of April 2010… So after the first pictures in … June about Saint Tropez, some views of the Porquerolles Island we have visited by bicycles.

Poster ‘Saint Barth 2010’ ordered!
I’ve just ordered a new Saint Barth (2010) poster for my office. A small one, 74x114cm ;-)
Should help to wait till February 2011 for our next stay there!
SmugMug…
…is really cool ;-) Some interesting new features (SEO & sitemaps, statistics, etc.) were released in the last months, as usual. Still bringing quite a lot of traffic for me.
I’ve reached again the half million views on my pictures during the first half of this year (in June), with some days with more than 7’000 views… From January to August, exactly 622’310 views on pictures and videos on visuals.didierbeck.com. About 80% of the traffic is going on Saint Barth pictures (what for a surprise !).
Not bad for an amateur as I in this area ;-)
Holiday is cool, as my new Canon S90!
Quick “hello” from Combrit Saint Marine in Brittany.
We are finished with our “stroll week”. Each day about 6-8 hours on foot, a looonnngggg time we haven’t done that ;-) Fantastic landscape, varying a lot each day, as the weather!
That’s a real break, different from St Barth, but still a cool break. Today, first time with a kind of real Internet connection ;-)
As I didn’t want to transport my 3+ kg Canon EOS 5D MarkII with its lens during the 6+ hours walk per day, I have bought a Canon S90, just before going on holiday. As a Canon-fan, I had mainly the choice between a G11 or a S90, both with almost the same technical and optical characteristics, excepted that the G11 is still quite big. Some pictures below (RAW + DxO post-prod, but with a small netbook ;-). More on the Canon S90 later. But generally speaking I’m super happy with it!
Now, back to the “big one”!
New lens, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
I’ve just acquired a new Canon L-series lens for my full-frame EOS 5D MarkII, the famous EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM. First impression: very sharp, fast autofocus, controlled vignetting (as usual some issues at the ends, specially around 28mm), solid, heavy (950g…), interesting focal length range – will take it with me for the coming holidays in August.
Post-production with DxO Optics Pro 6 Elite, which has a specific module for the combination Canon EOS 5D MarkII + the Canon EF 24-70mm L.
First pictures taken with it:
