Paimpont 2018: Day 37 - Artisan at Work

The tourist office for the whole of the local area is housed in Paimpont right next-door to the Abbey. Apart from providing the usual sorts of information to visitors, there is also a very elaborate sound and light exhibition which tells the story of Paimpont and the Brocéliande Forest. It has proved hugely popular with visitors over the last 3 years, but now the decision has been taken to completely renew the presentation. The work will take 10 weeks and involve around 20 specialist workers.

The tourist office have asked me to document the renovation, so every couple of days I pop in and capture the latest activities. There is virtually no natural light so I am having to work with what artificial lighting there is - usually movable lamps placed according to where work is taking place. This is Alain pictured today fixing a partition in place.

Viewing on black is rather dramatic.
Nice image I like the way the light has been used to add to the contrast. fav :)

I hope you'll be sharing more of the work, and the workers, with us.

wonderful. I imagine that working in such conditions would be a lot like hunting, having to wait until your "prey" is in the right bit of light

I like the feeling of tension which is complimented by the low light. Fav!

@francoise That's it exactly Françoise, coupled with the need to move around yourself to find the PoV where the light is best.
