More photos from around Grenoble

Some from today, some from earlier.

Perhaps I should start a new category.

The first is a black-and-white version of a photo I posted earlier. I’m still not entirely happy with how it turned out, even after a lot of work in Photoshop, but here it is (as is usual, click on the thumbnail for a larger photo to pop up):

I have been posting the photos of a few ads that I felt would never appear on street side displays in the US, here are two more.

The first is for the ladies to appreciate, the caption says, in a literal translation, “Lesson 1: To fly him the star,” but I think it means in English, “Lesson 1: Fly him to the stars.”

For the men to appreciate, here is the female version of the advertisement, with the caption (much easier for me to translate), “Lesson 67: Succumb to temptation.”

I think I need to take the photos of the roadside advertisements at night to avoid the reflections, despite the inadvertent art that can sometimes result.

I have many more photos taken especially this Sunday when I was out searching for good images. I will post more later.

Both ads are very sensual and the photography is sensational. Not to mention those models bodies. Can you find out where I can get those panties – I want some! Thanks for the Monday morning stimulant. Thank goodness I have a holiday today.

By the way, I like the reflectivity in the backgrounds.

PS- the detail is wonderful in your photograph. Did you play with the contrast? Perhaps there is too much light and not enough dark. Thanks for posting your wonderful photos- I enjoy them immensely.

Good pics.

A polarizing filter is your best bet for eliminating the glare in such situations.

That, and/or walking around, and/or waiting for the sun to move until you find a better, less glary angle.
