The hut is open every day until October 15, 2020.
A break at an altitude of 2250 m near a pretty lake with the Grand Combin as a backdrop, all in the heart of a nature Reserve about two hours’ walk from Fionnay. It’s a way to recharge your batteries, eat well and enjoy all the gifts that the Nature give to us. The welcome is great, we had a wonderful stay and we are ready to go again. We keep a very good memory of it! Congratulations, Claudia who is taking good care of her guests.

Renaud Schmitt – Composer, Concertist, Music Teacher
A slide show without music… it would be too bad. The music is ″ indispensable″. It brings life, rhythm, enthusiasm, tempo, atmosphere… to me, which is essential in my opinion. But it is also a task that is far from being easy to achieve. Finding the pieces that can create the right atmosphere, the sequences of different kinds of music, as a puzzle, there’s nothing better. I mean, it’s a real job and you can’t improvise.
A fellow photographer recommended Mr. Schmitt to me for having worked with him and I’ve made a very good experience with him. I’m really satisfied with his performance.
So, creators of Slide shows, with Mr. Renaud Schmitt and Mrs. Claudia Rousseaux, you have two good addresses that make your task easier and guarantee the good quality of your Slide show. Once again THANK YOU to these artists for their work.

SIGMA Switzerland
Having worked with SIGMA in the past, I had given up a heavy lens (300-800 mm) which was no longer suitable for the photographic activities I practiced. Recently, I acquired a second-hand 150 mm macro stabilized lens which I sent to Ott+Wyss AG (SIGMA service center for Switzerland) for checking, cleaning and adjusting the stabilizer of this lens. The contact details of this company are specified above, you also have the possibility to reach their site by clicking on the picture of this article.
The work was done very quickly (3days) and after testing the optic, the defect previously found had disappeared and this work was done under warranty at no cost. Very nice service for this manufacturer, a good point for SIGMA Switzerland! Thanks again to this team of technical specialists.

Claudia – Professional voice-over
A little wink to Claudia who worked as a voice-over on my last slide show which is still under construction.
What is a voice-over? What is its role, its task in the development of a slide show?
I usually integrate comments to facilitate understanding or explain the idea, the process that I wanted to highlight through the slide show. Claudia is equipped with a professional studio which guarantees an optimal quality of the recording she provides to her clients. Once her work is done, she sends a file electronically that will be integrated in the slide show, using a special software program. The experience was positive, Claudia carried out this work very professionally and I am very satisfied with the result.

UBUNTU
Thousands of applications, millions of users, a new way to use your computer!
Fast and attractive, Ubuntu is an intuitive and secure operating system, ideal for desktops, servers, netbooks and laptops. Ubuntu is free and is composed of software that are also free.
I decided to “tackle” Linux and I installed a physical “Dual boot” on my desktop computer (1 to 4 SATA 3 Switch Bay EX-3465) from EXSYS. This module can easily be installed in a 3.5″ or 5.25″ front slot because the kit includes an adapter. A documentation (in German) is delivered with the kit. I installed 2 SSD hard disks on this module, so I can switch from one disk to the other when starting the computer. On the first disk my Windows 10 system is set up and on the second disk I installed Ubuntu 18.10. One computer… two operating systems available with a keyboard, a mouse, a scanner and two screens common to these two systems. The installation was easy, whereas the scanner recognition gave me some troubles. Now I am slowly becoming familiar with this new system and I will use it for all Internet-related works.
