Île Sainte-Hélène

La Biosphère, jadis le pavillon des États-Unis.



«L'Homme»

Scène de La Place des Nations.

Marmotte.



Photos prises lors d'une agréable promenade sur l'île Sainte-Hélène, où l'on trouve certains vestiges de l'exposition universelle de 1967 («Expo '67»), telles la Biosphère et la Place des Nations.

etodd80 Amazing stuff here. I love the look of #8, it is plain but interesting at the same time. #9 is incredible, excellent exposure. The depth of #6 is great, makes me want to explore the photo. The dome in #3 with the background of the clouds is spectacular, great composition.

Another wonderful post.

????? Although I not too keen on the centrality of number 5, I love the geometry. #3 holds my favor.

kangshung Very dramatic and interesting images - love your use of b&w here. Favs. are #3 - great composition, and the textures of the marmotte's coat!
kangshung · 2008-06-12: 02:21
TIM927 brilliant,,,the last is a blast!
TIM927 · 2008-06-12: 03:12
ootgoody you are very good using the space. composition is always fantastic on your photos.
ootgoody · 2008-06-12: 03:19
swkotor2 vraiment une très belle architecture tout le long de ce set, la marmotte est vraiment sympa aussi! mais je préfère et de très loin la dernière image, ces "faisceaux" de lumières sont vraiment magnifiques!
swkotor2 · 2008-06-12: 03:32
onestep ma préféré est la 3ème. va savoir pourquoi ! toutes sinon sont très belles et montrent bien la grandeur des objets photographiés. la biosphère est impressionnante ..
onestep · 2008-06-12: 04:00
amaranta je n aime pas particularment les photos de palais et ciment.. sont toujours photos, selon moi, sans ame.. La premiere est baucoup belle..
amaranta · 2008-06-12: 04:32
jagungal A fine series throughout Madoc, as always, but #1 and #7 are absolutely captivating while #8 and #9 are very arresting. There is apparently no end to your creativity!
jagungal · 2008-06-12: 05:03
ofwordsandphotos what's inside the La Biosphere? I love #1.
and you got really good talent.
ofwordsandphotos · 2008-06-12: 05:16
dadlak great composition and light...fun to see the duck and marmot interspersed with all the buildings.
dadlak · 2008-06-12: 06:46
????? Great! #9 I like the best
????? · 2008-06-12: 06:51
izalan J'aime beaucoup la photo #3, avec le nuage derrière la Biosphère..Et aussi celle de la sculpture «l'homme», avec la Biosphère en arrière-plan.
La lumière est superbe dans la dernière.
izalan · 2008-06-12: 06:58
fionarobinson Great B+W,love the saturation.
i especially love the first one with the sunlight glinting off the ducks back.
fionarobinson · 2008-06-12: 06:59
focussed dramatic shots here......Each one has a purpose and presence. I admire the way you select your shots so carefully so that we never see the same thing or anything remotely similar...
and i love the little creatures thrown into the mix ;)
focussed · 2008-06-12: 07:16
DancingDolphin I like the b/w's... I think 8 is my personal favorite (great angles with that tiny moon added in!) and the dome is a very interesting structure!
DancingDolphin · 2008-06-12: 07:33
tantatantan Wow the architecture of #2, 3 and 4 are awesome - it looks especially amazing in your b/w! And I really love the light through the buildings in the last shot! Wonderfully captured, great work!
tantatantan · 2008-06-12: 07:35
longimanus Another magnificent urban set, in Madoc style! :))) The nature shots of no 1 and 6 I would have prefered in color... animals look somehow like an unfinished drawing to me, without colors, but it is also question of taste. No 3 is my fav... it looks wonderful how the cloud hides behind the metal structure! And how the light spreads between the two towers on the last shot is breathtaking!
longimanus · 2008-06-12: 07:54
tbranscum Love #5, perfect! I also like this set in b/w shows more detail.
tbranscum · 2008-06-12: 07:55
Michka43 de grandes perspectives sur la biosphère, une très belle lumière dans la dernière, un "sacré" bon boulot, du grand madoc, encore
Michka43 · 2008-06-12: 08:24
????? Bravo. J aime ces photos.
merci pour cette decouverte.
????? · 2008-06-12: 08:28
SheriJ Fantastic!! I really like #1 and 7.. The last one is very cool also!!
SheriJ · 2008-06-12: 08:35
Pikapol I admire how precise is composition in this set. to me it's like compositional study. I especially like #3 (it's very interesting mix of cloud and this amazing architecture, and mix of architecture and water), #6 and #8.
ok, and #9 is it's own story! it's fantastic!!! I love it! the light is amazing and also water gave one new dimension to the shot. did you add a litle, little bit of color or I'm watching too long time into this shot?
Pikapol · 2008-06-12: 08:54
mojaroo splendid b/w set
mojaroo · 2008-06-12: 09:36
storytaylor these images is a very good work and a perfect study of architecture. a city is a collection of buildings over a period of time. as an individual you have to behave as though you are part of a team, you are in a collective realm. I think when we are designing a building at least we must take into account what has happened surrounding us, but no, most of the time we are sensitized to the urban issues, or design issues in an urban context. I think most architects, when they begin to work, they have good intentions or great intentions if they can believe, but somewhere they get lost (that is the problem of every EXPO´s in the world). that is the reality and you show me that in this impressive and stunning set. very good my friend. thank you so much and enjoy your amazing city.

acididko really good b/w

abbeyh13 so so beautiful!
I ust love your use of light!
abbeyh13 · 2008-06-12: 12:36
photopoet Beautiful views. The eighth photo is stunning—intriguing composition, play of geometric shapes, and a broad spectrum of tones.
photopoet · 2008-06-12: 13:23
fotolapeta 9 super!
fotolapeta · 2008-06-12: 13:29
vterezia lovely MONTREAL !!
vterezia · 2008-06-12: 14:38
vollenda This is an incredible set. A very cool exploration from the expo. The sphere is fabulous. #3, 6, and 9 are my favorites. Great light and range of tones.
vollenda · 2008-06-12: 14:46
????? Perfect set!

TheCrazyCroat I had to put #3 in my faves. WOWOWOWOW!
TheCrazyCroat · 2008-06-12: 17:47
mariaps Amazing set Madoc! The b&w goes perfectly with the subject (Expo '67) of this set! It reminded me of the sphere in Flushing Meadow Park that was built for the '64 World's Fair. The duck in the first shot took by breathe away and the third is my fav. :)
mariaps · 2008-06-12: 21:21
jet28 Wonderful variety!
jet28 · 2008-06-13: 04:52
azuul great! I love your b&w!
azuul · 2008-06-13: 09:26
RodolpheDeus Superbe pique dans cette serie. J'en ai meme presque peine a croire qu'il s agit du meme appareil /objectif que dans les anciens post. Pourtant apparemment oui...peut etre un "sharpening" encore mieux maitrise?
J'aime beaucoup la 6 et 8 et ce cote brute mais subtil parfaitement retranscrit.
RodolpheDeus · 2008-06-13: 09:42
KC727 Wow, beautiful B & W :))

Emma La biosphère est énorme! Je ne peux pas attendre de le voir quand je visite Montréal.

Dramatique N & B photographies - vous êtes un maître de la composition.
Emma · 2008-06-14: 12:04

merchillio Quand on les voit trop souvent, on finit par oublier les beautés de ce parc, merci de me les rappeler.
merchillio · 2008-06-16: 06:03
eddiwilliams really love you architecture photos, especially the composition style in it.
btw i m wondering how did u make the effect in the last one? what effects were used to strengthen the lighting effect? i always want something like this but can not always get it
eddiwilliams · 2008-06-16: 07:00
RamonBlanco Te felicito. sin palabras. Venezuela
