Le Phare du Petit Minou

We had a great nights sleep again, it was super quiet with just the sound of the waves crashing against the nearby rocks to send us to sleep. At 8am we woke up, and by 9:30am we were in the road heading the 90 miles north to Phare de petit minou. This has been on my photography bucket list as a long exposure shot for a long time, especially as I skipped it last time we were here.
Unfortunately when we first got there the sun was gleaming through the clouds and the sea was completely white from the glare and try as I might with all the different filters I just didn’t get a shot I was really happy with.
From there we found a free motorhome airè just 5 miles away in a quiet little village so we parked up, had something to eat and drink and at 4:30pm just before sunset I decided to head back to the lighthouse.
Lucky for me the sun was just dipping behind the clouds, there were very few people in the end except for the idiot that just stood on top of the rocks staring into nothingness and the light was perfect. Pink skies, long exposure and no people. I will have fun editing that when I get home.
Then it was back to our little airè and except for the church bells that keep ringing randomly and a Barking dog that we’re hoping will shut up it seems nice.Read more
