My travel photos now online if anyone's interested
 

Had the last couple weeks off from work so finially got my last four years of travel photos on line. You guys on this forum helped me plan these trips so I though someone might be interest in seeing them. They're at: www.pbase.com/annforcier

Your pictures are glorious!

They made me want to call the airlines and GO!

Thanks for sharing

Wow! Those are some great shots. I really like how well you handle the evening ones with lights. Many people don't do that well at all.

Thanks for sharing.

My compliments, Isabel. You have a great eye!

Thanks, Isabel, for sharing your terrific photos. I really enjoyed them all!

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us.

I meant to ask the same question..how do you get such wanderful night shots.What do you use?

WOW!

WOW!! I love to check fodorites pics of their travels and have to say Isabel, yours are out of league!!:-D WOW!

Gorgeous photography, interesting shots, incredible. A tabletop book comes to mind!!

Awesome! Thank you.

Spectacular! I felt like I was there . . .thank you for sharing these.

I am awestruck !
You are really good. I thought I had some decent shots of many of the same places but you and Jim Tardio put me to shame. Tell us more ! Are you a pro? Do you use a tripod? Are you shooting all digital? Some of these shots have to be enhanced with an edit program--which one? I am green with envy--terrific composition and use of light. And, you put yourself in the right place at the right time. Do not be modest--TELL US MORE !

Please tell me you're a professional photographer! Your pictures are the best I've ever seen . . . I want to throw all mine out and put yours in my albums.

I am going to study yours and see if I can duplicate some of your shots when I go to Brugge and Brussels in March.

Thanks for sharing and please do let us know how you took those night shots.

Thanks a million,
Sandy (in Denton)

One word: Stunning!

Beautiful!!!!! What camera did you use? My European trip starts in May and I need good info on cameras and taking pics.

Isabel, if you are not a professional photographer, you should be. Those are just stunning photos, every one of them. I am looking at New England now and will probably look at all of your albums.

SUPERB!!!EVERY SINGLE ONE!

For those who like these shots, be sure to go to jimtardio.com for a similar experience. I hate them both !

Splendid stuff, Isabel.

It convinces me further that Fodors should provide some bandwidth for posters' photos - I know there are many contributors to the boards who have excellent photo libraries.

Danny, are you lurking?

fabulous! Thank you.

Gee thanks for all the nice comments. To answer some of your questions. No I'm not a professional photographer - I just love doing it. Fortunatley being obsessed with both travel and photography is a combination which goes well together.

Most of these photos were taken with a digital camera. Only the ones of Provence and the Loire and a few in England were taken in my pre-digital days, with my trusty Nikon SLR which has not been out of the closet since I went digital. All of Italy were taken with an Olympus C2100UZ (fondly referred to as the "uzi"). All the ones of Ireland were taken with a Nikon CP5700. England and France I've been to multiple times so some shots were taken with each camera.

The olympus, which is the older one (a 2 megapixel camera) is actually better with the night shots. It has an image stabelizer which the Nikon (a 5 megapixel) doesn't have. I carry a tiny 5 inch tripod which obviously has to be balanced on something so it can limit what you can do. But I just can't stand the weight of a real tripod. In fact, that's what I love about the digital cameras, they are so light weight compared to a film camera. Neither of these is exactly pocket sized but still much smaller and lighter than a full size SLR film camera.

Again, thanks for the comments.

Isabel, what a terrific montage! Particularly like the Musee Rodin shot, can't help but mentally caption it "Thinking of Paris" - OK with you is I use it as wallpaper on my PC?

this is worthy of topping

Great Stuff! Thank you so much for sharing these and the info on your equipment etc.

Isabel, your photos are great!! Just looking at them make me homesick for my Beloved city!
Thank you for sharing such beauties with us..
Ciao,
Kismet

Hi Isabel,

Just wanted to say that I too found your photos revealing of much talent.

You know I had to go right to the Ireland section first. Wonderful, and I laughed at the "Driving in Ireland" caption. So true.

Very nice! Is this a hobby or are you a professional photographer? Because if you're not you should be!

Oh, sorry, I read you're not a prof. photographer-but I still say you should be one! Thanks.

topping for a freind!

Isabel, those are fabulous photos.

I really like that pbase site. You can plug in almost any place in the world and find photos. I've posted a few of mine on their site..but yours are really superb.

Another photographer to check out is Bailey Zimmerman. http://www.pbase.com/baileyzim

PS. I hope you had ice cream at Brown's after shooting Nubble Light

Hi Isabel,

First class! Thanx for sharing

Beautiful photos. I especially enjoyed them since we seem to have traveled the same European route. Lucky for you, you've hit a few more spots than us so now I know where else we need to go!

Wow, those were some awesome pictures!!! Your gelato picture is my new screensaver! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so very much for allowing us these beautiful photographs. It's like taking a small vacation - your lighting is fabulous. Thanks again

These are lovely and bring back wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing!

Isabel:
Do not hide behind your camera! Come and tell us about your trips that go along with these wonderful shots!!
I have cousins in Hall im Tirol thanks for the fond memories!

I have to look again to see if you include travel dialog on that website! I will have a check in the mail for that "Coffee Book" that you should have out for Xmas 2004!!

I enjoyed looking at your photos Isabel. One of my favorites is the dog at a Paris cafe. He is looking quite longingly at the morsel of food his master is about to eat. It reminds me of the whimsical quality of so many of Cartier-Bresson's Paris photos. Thanks also for pointing out the pbase.site. Since I already have a Web site, I probably won't post any photos there, but I like the way the site is set up and have enjoyed looking at a few others' photos.

because of your lovely work... I now HAVE TO GO to Annecy...

ohboyohboyohboy...

Terrific pictures!

Absolutely breathtaking ... WOW !

I'm stuck for words ! (besides, they've all been used by the previous posters). I thought I'd comment on certain ones (like the beautiful snow covered lilacs in New England, the rose climber in Provence, the yellow stone in Broadway where I was in 2001 and coincidently have a shot of the same building) but each album I opened had me gob-smacked. Well done ! You have a talented eye, and in your own way have taken us all on your travels with you. Thank you for sharing.
