Fish with three purées

This is red snapper over a bed of three purées: beetroot, sweet and purple potato. Bathed with a beurre blanc sauce and garnished with potato curls. The flavors are subtle and sweet, they accentuate the flavor of the red snapper, the fish is perfectly cooked, it melts in your mouth. This is one of the many great creations made in the Culinary Arts Academy by the students.

Here we have three pictures of the same plate, each one with different angle and close-up. It is good to see how these simple movements and decisions affect the final result. It was also needed to add more light in an after process since the room was poorly lighted.

Blossoming at spring time

Another kind of flowers start to blossom here at bouveret. And with the soft lighting of the sunset this flowers are the focus of the camera leaving behind their surroundings.

Sunset at Bouveret

All these pictures were taken at the harbor in Le Bouveret, here we can see the different textures that compose this beautiful sight: the dock, the waves over the water, the clouds, the rocks, the mountains and the lonely tree.

In this caption we have different elements at different distances this provides depth. But the center of this picture is the sunset and the rays if light going through the sky and reflecting in the lake.

The endless lake

The light post and the flowers oversee the flow of people at the harbor.

And a family of ducks swim across the lake, the soft light of the sunset only provides the silouttes of the animals, but gives life to the water. Everything with a pink and purple background.

Smoked salmon with avocado mousse

If we select a specific area of the picture and then adjust the brightness and contrast, we can obtain a completely different photo than the original.

This is the base picture we used:

And this one is the adjusted with the  iphoto program:

Home at 51

The stay at home 51 is almost at its end.

Life in Bouveret

The shining of the sun brings life.

The reflection of the sun in the water brings out the movement of the waves and highlights the clarity and transparency of the lake. And the white swan is also another bright element of the picture. The contrast of textures of the water, the stones and the animals gives harmony to the caption.

Back at Bouveret

The sun is finally visiting Bouveret and with this visit a completely different look surfaces.

The light reflects nicely in the water of the lake and the ray of sun hit the bench and the grass. The light of this picture is a bit overpowering but it does not bother, it gives more warmth and serenity to the whole scene.
