Hello all,

Eric from the South west part of France in the Atlantics Pyrenees. I live in a small mountain village close the Ossau valley.
Photographer since 1989 with a Pentax P30n and today with some Lmount bodys. Lumix S5, S1 and since few months a Lumix S1RII. Before with M43 mount, Gx8 and G9.
Before Panasonic i used Pentax k1, K5, and some Canon compact.
I mostly landscape photographer, a little wild animals and my others hobbies are hikking, astronomie and I'm ham radio since 2008.
I'm using only two software, DXO 8 and Silkypix 10.

This is a nice read. And you sure live in an inspirational region. I've been lucky enough to have been there a few times in my life. I have been cycling with our club from Bordeaux via Rocamadour to Tourmalet (to see the Tour) only 2 years ago. And I have pictures of my 8yo self and my grandfather on the train to Lac d'Artouste. I can still imagine the vaste green valley on our left side going uphill. And it has been like a half century ago...

Welcome to the forum. Living close to a mountain range like that must give you a lot of photographic possibilities.
 
Greetings! Sounds like a lovely photogenic area.
 
Also a welcome (I am from the Netherlands).
I have good memories during a holiday in Spain / Atlantics Pyrenees.
 
Welcome to LMF !!! My journey also started with Pentax P30n in the mid nineties, somewhere mid journey on m43 and Lumix S5ii now :)
 
I own all three P30 variants (original, N, T) and recommend them as the best option for starting with a manual film SLR. They're surprisingly nice to use and very cheap.
 
Thank you so much for your welcome.:)
The Pyrenees are a wonderful region with forests, lakes, wild animals, and many other livestock like cows, sheeps, and horses.
You're putting me under pressure.

Today... Rain ! :(

More pressure -- I've visited much of France -- but have never been to the Pyrenees. Which I have always wanted to do. More pictures please! :)

I was just talking about that a few days ago. I have a colleague who has just retired from working and when I asked what she will be doing in retirement, she answered she has a trip planned to Southwest France and the Pyrenees. I was so envious. Her situation, she is American and has a sister-in-law who is a French teacher in the US, and they have taken quite a few summer vacations together to France - the sister-in-law does the speaking, and my colleague just enjoys the trips.
 
Hi Charles,

I'm sure you'll like it, it's wilder than the Alps and from April to October it's very pastoral with lots of herds. You just have to watch out for guard dogs.
 
Hello Eric I,

I come from the other side of the Pyrenees, from Pamplona, Navarre, but my paternal family comes from the Aragonese Pyrenees, specifically from the area next to Ordesa National Park, which is the most spectacular national park in Spain, IMHO, and is just across from the Parc national des Pyrénées in France. The whole area is beautiful and a goldmine for photographers.

Greetings and welcome to the forum.
 
Hola Xavier, Thank you for your wellcome.

We were in Torla two years ago for somme days, but it rained a lot and most of the fajas were forbidden. We hiked the canyon to Goriz in good weather, the Pelopín in the rain and around Bajaruelo ... We'll go back; it's not far from home. I don't know the Pineta Valley. I know Anisclo from Ainsa.
All these places are must-sees.
