The jury has selected my Grey-headed Flying-foxe photography taken in Australia. This bat belongs to "Megabat" family and regularly flies in the sunday, even if it sits more likely in the shade of foliage. With over 22.300 unique views, it changes from Flickr ^^.

For people who'll try the Before|After comparison feature above, you'll notice I over-exposed my original shot in a purpose probably even more important than normally. This way, I've been able to catch details on the head and the neck. If not, their would have been completely blacks. In post adjustment, I under-exposed the whole picture […]

North Sydney

Back from half a day in Manly. The boat is going straight to Sydney, full West and I take this picture. Note the strange effect on the water surface caused by this little speedy boy (see below) — arf! —. I took the picture exposed on the right which means I under-expose it on post-prod. I also […]

It happens some times, but I don't have posted such a kind of adjustment for some time now, so here it is. I chosen for this one a process to warmer and enhance the dramatic feeling way much than the original picture. Well, we have to admit this Bourget 2011 edition was not the best […]

This picture is not so sharp, but I decided to save it from the trash because of the aesthetic of reflections. About adjustments, it's simple, I sightly reinforce blacks and enhanced the afterburner effect; I've also removed a bird in front of the aircraft, not enough visible and interesting to be kept.

This picture is probably my favorite from all my Bourget Airshow 2011 shots. With such a size and some low level pass, it just takes the light in an amazing way. This photo haven't been cropped and I've chosen deliberately to shot heavily zoomed (400mm — equiv. 640mm on the 7D). In fact, things was […]

Some days ago, I decided to take some pictures of the Moon, was my first time. I used my 100-400L with a 2x extender (see tags and exifs) for a 800mm focal length on my 5D Mark II. Both pictures have been cropped, so you visualize here almost a 1500mm focal length. During the session, […]

Second and last day for Axalp (public opened). Those two F/A-18C Hornet are opening the show with a fast and low level pass launching decoy flares. Action ends in a fraction and the first day, surprised by them, I've not been able to take one shot with an aircraft on the frame, only “traces” ^^ […]

This is the windy top of La Grande Motte, 3.656 m high (3.456 m for the end of the skiable area). I've been there quite a while, fighting against high speed and icy winds with lashing snow particles. But guess what? What a visual pleasure! About adjustments here, just a slight enhancement of blue (was dull) and […]

Back to my aeronautical shots, it has been a while… (but wait wait!, Bourget Airshow is coming ^^). Here's a little boy, one of the 30 and more the Swiss like to own. Well, funny enough, this aircraft is just an amazing flying machine I can guaranty this to you. Specially when it comes to […]
