The giant green bug (France, Gers)

Hi !

If the previous macro shot was all about the tiniest thing I could find, here’s a bigger one !

This fellow is a stinky one, if you bother him too much. Sort of the defence you would expect for such a dull looking insect. But that been said I had a few interaction with him until he would pose appropriately, and did not end up been sprayed. I guess he doesn’t fear me, so I should probably stop considering myself a though guy in the metro…

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

The tiny bug on the big leaf (France, Houppeville)

Hi !

With a new spring season that was just kicked off a few days ago, and nature starting to blossom all around, I found myself exploring my girlfriend family backyard in search for subject to try the new macro lens she just bought a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to find this tiny creature, enjoying some quiet time on a large camelia leaf, before the season gets busy.

It would also be the second photo of my 52 project, almost too late for this week…

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Music in the air, music in the ear (France, Paris)

Hi !

If I won’t be staring at mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests for a while, I can stare at all these people going places, doing stuff, looking busy, completely isolated from one another, even though there was some live music in the street.

Also, and I should probably think twice before announcing it, I think I would like to try a 52 photos challenge, i.e. a photo a week. Hopefully this one will kick off this challenge nicely, and a year for now I can look at a brilliant collection of 52 photos.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Lac d’Estaing (France)

Hi !

A quick post to share with you the very nice place, the Lac d’Estaing in the French Pyrenees mountains, where I enjoyed a super week of holidays: lots of hiking, lots of chilling with the fresh air of these mountains, lots of fun !!!

Playful Emma

Hi !

Here’s my very loved niece, Emma, posing in her playful way in front of my dearly loved Fuji 56mm F/1.2 lens.

I think she knows exactly what she was doing, using the fourniture in the room, searching for the perfect light, instead of just smiling like any random kid would have done 🙂

Sunset in the Gers (France)

Hi !

Impossible not to capture this very dramatic sunset over the Gers, in France, probably one of the most unpopulated area in France.

It was one of this very warm day, with a blue almost of the way through, except for the last hour. The red sun just had to light up the clouds on fire.

Not a lot of effort required to pop the colours, only a simulation of the ND grad filter.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Les amis du banc public (France)

Hi !

Just a shot of a good memory from this year, when a bunch of friends came for a weekend in Paris to look at the Edward Hopper exhibition at the Grand Palais.

There’s no word to describe what caught their attention. So I won’t even try.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Lunch by the Seine River (France)

Hi !

Another picture I took on the border of the Seine river, which, is the place to spend a nice lunch when the sun shines…

Lovers have each other back (France)

Hi !

I think the expression is that lovers have each other’s back. At least that was my thought at the moment I took the picture of these two enjoying a sunny Sunday on the border of the Seine river.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !

Baby niece

Hi !

Here’s another picture of my gorgeous little niece. We’ll save the full version were she’s totally naked for the first 20 or 30 boyfriends when she’ll be acting out.

Please don’t force yourself into finding her cute (but she is, you are just lying to yourself), I too dislike stranger’s baby.

Enjoy (or not) and stay tuned !
