The Capture of Fort La Latte<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">Starting from Fort La Latte, like many seasides, it's possible to follow little hiking trails. That's exactly what my family and I did at the end of the day (and yes, I had made an appointment with the golden hour \ud83d\ude09 ) to get to the spot where the Fort was photographed above. Allow around 15 to 20 minutes' walk. At a certain stage, there are small rocky points, with cross paths that will allow you to have a view offset from the seafront and keep some height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You'll find this spot just before the big coastal curve that leads to Cap Fr\u00e9hel.  So I took this picture on the front page at around 7.40pm in April. My settings were Iso100 1\/40s f\/20 at 24mm. I was on a tripod. I like to take my time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-8ea40f1\" data-block-id=\"8ea40f1\"><style>.stk-8ea40f1 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">To find out more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/good-photography-settings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on photography settings, I invite you to read this article<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/en\/take-the-best-sunset-photos-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this one is specifically for sunsets<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-3ae9cc2\" id=\"3-en-allant-peu-plus-loin\" data-block-id=\"3ae9cc2\"><style>.stk-3ae9cc2 .stk-block-heading__bottom-line{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2, #a6003c  ) !important;}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">3. Going a little further...<\/h2><div class=\"stk-block-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">And of course, you can then continue for several hundred metres, for a good walk to Cap Fr\u00e9hel itself, and its lighthouse. Of course, taking advantage of the golden hour at 2 different spots at the same time is a bit risky, but you'll end up with nothing! To be sure, it's better to come twice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">You'll still need a good while to make the journey along the paths and\/or walk very fast. There are perhaps 1.5 to 2km maximum. That's what we did to get to the Cap Fr\u00e9hel lighthouse. At sunset, it's a magnificent place, as you can see from the photos below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-f119038\" data-block-id=\"f119038\"><style>.stk-f119038 {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">No editing, just simple post-production processing in Capture One, and a little Orton effect with On1 Photo RAW (I love landscapes with slightly dreamlike looks). In these shots, it was almost 9pm. A great moment of meditation with the family!<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-52ee05e\" data-block-id=\"52ee05e\"><style>.stk-52ee05e {margin-bottom:50px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-52ee05e-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ac67490\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ac67490\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ac67490-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ac67490-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-9d06d1f stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"9d06d1f\"><style>.stk-9d06d1f .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;font-size:12px !important;}.stk-9d06d1f {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;box-shadow:0px 70px 90px -20px rgba(72, 73, 121, 0.30) !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-9d06d1f:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-9d06d1f .stk-img-figcaption{font-size:12px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-252440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Bretagne-18-252.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Cap Fr\u00e9hel , Brittany, France\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\"><em><em>Cap Fr\u00e9hel , Brittany, France<\/em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-4329555\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"4329555\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-4329555-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-4329555-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-dce1335 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"dce1335\"><style>.stk-dce1335 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;font-size:12px !important;}.stk-dce1335 {background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;box-shadow:0px 70px 90px -20px rgba(72, 73, 121, 0.30) !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-dce1335:before{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-5, #e1e8ed) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-dce1335 .stk-img-figcaption{font-size:12px !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-252441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dragonstreetphotography.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Bretagne-18-256-mast-1.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" alt=\"Cape Fr\u00e9hel lighthouse, Brittany, France\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\"><em><em>Cape Fr\u00e9hel lighthouse, Brittany, France<\/em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p data-block-type=\"core\">So much for the story behind the photo of Fort La Latte.
