Canon EOS 7D

Il ya quelques temps (en juin 2011), le boîtier Canon EOS 7D acheté d'occasion (850 photos) dans un état tout simplement parfait, tant esthétiquement que fonctionnellement, venait rejoindre son grand frère Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Le 7D est pour moi un compagnon idéal pour le 5D Mark II car leurs caractéristiques techniques se complètent totalement, le tout offrant une souplesse d'utilisation incomparable.

As usual, a great kindness and a shared pleasure of the subjects discovering my pictures on the camera screen! This has really affected me. Thanks to nepali people for that…

Purple Swamphen / Porphyrio porphyrio   video tutorial

Ci-après, la vidéo du travail complet de reconstruction de l'arrière-plan sur Photoshop, en moins de 20 min. Tout autre travail réalisé (ajustement de couleurs, etc.) l'aura été sous Aperture. Notez que Photoshop m'est totalement inutile pour 99,9% des photos présentées sur le site ; attention de ne pas se laisser aveugler par son nom… La vidéo n'est pas commentée. Pour toute question, j'aurais plaisir à vous répondre dans les commentaires de ce post.

Back from the Nepal after 21 days of trip, here's one of the very first portrait taken there. We're in Katmandu, near to the Kumari (living Goddess) house. This man was seating at my lens level and give me this amazing look.

At mountainside

During an airshow, we often think it's best to have the longest focal length possible. The mind thinks “airplane”, and if possible, framed as large as possible on the picture. Often, it is not worse. Indeed, in presence of the ugliest weather for an enthusiast, namely blue sky and sunshine, you'd better frame tight, at […]

At ƒ4, it's difficult to capture a lot of light, while keeping a reasonable ISO, and avoiding to exceed 30 seconds of exposure time so the movement of the Earth (relative movement of stars) does not create trails. Anyway, the result of the post-adjustment shows that finally, you can capture quite a lot of information! […]

Earth, Wind & Fire

On September 9, the legendary group Earth, Wind & Fire gave a free concert at Clamart. Al McKay and his All Stars animated the Hunebelle stadium for over an hour and thirty. The CD sold in a small kiosk at the end of the concert evaporated in less than four minutes while twenty meters away, a part of the team was signing just about anything that people put under their pen. An opportunity for me to take some pictures with the Canon EF 85mm ƒ/1.2L II USM @1.2 (<em>What else?</em> ^^).

The Sassière Valley

That morning, I was fighting step by step to tear myself away from the snow with my 18kg backpack, then, pausing a moment to rest, this panorama offered itself to me. It was startling. Below, two adjustments, the fist is conform to my “habits of realistic post-adjustment”, the second that I enjoyed to make and […]
