I am a freelance internet consultant, now in his forties and living near Paris, France. I started being interested in 3d graphics in 1996 when I stumbled upon a nice program with a superb box: Bryce 2.1 for PC. I soon added Amapi, Poser and a series of other 3d apps to my toolset and produced most of my images.
In 2000, I started to get interested in photography, and purchased my first SLR camera. My interest slowly switched from 3d towards photography - first analog, then digital since 2002.
A few thousands of photographs later, I am starting to come back to my old hobby: 3d imaging, focusing on images that cannot be done with photography. My two passions are in fact complemental.
I run several websites among which:
Virtual Lands - my 3d website
France in Photos - my photography website. Travel, landscape and architecture photographs of France

I really like the grass with the patches of dirt!
Sue, FYI, the effect in the background where grass does not appear in some places is done with the technique detailed in my Geocontrol 2 Vue tutorial. http://www.virtual-lands-3d.com/geocontrol-2-vue2.html I use the flowmaps generated by Geocontrol to drive where grass appears, which creates those areas devoid of vegetation in eroded zones. You can see another example of this technique on the back areas of this image: http://www.virtual-lands-3d.com//assets/images/gallery/land/wide-landscape2b.jpg
Incredible image, your foreground is amazing, the background terrain is so believable and your sky is stunning. Wonderful work!
