August was the time for a few moves to see family around the country.
One trip to southwestern France, close to the Bassin d’Arcachon from where I selected this 1st photo. The Dune du Pyla is the largest sand dune of Europe, but it’s losing about 3cm each year, from the sea.
The next one is just a warm touch of Spring, during this present cold and grey long winter time…
And finally a Black & white portrait of my cousin’s daughter, as I do love close portraiture and mostly adjusting the B&W conversion.
July… Summer time… No holidays but i love Paris in these months of July and August as the city really changes, less people, more tourists, nes atmosphere.
I’ve selected 3 shots :
The first one is a classic, architecture photo of a part of the Great Library.
The next 2, are close-up using the new Sigma 70-300mm i bought this month, in its ’semi’ macro mode :
As I was saying in the previous post, I spent the 2/3rd of May with my trip to Thailand.
As it was the 1st time I was there with my brand new camera, I shot def. too much during these weeks, maybe 600 shots, a new record for my amateur skills. Of course lot of crap shots due to experiments of the D50, but anyway i did some of my best ones during that time.
Basically the trip was covering 2 days in Bangkok, joining the family, then a move to Prachuap Khiri Khan for a full week (that was long holidays in Thailand), then hangin’ back to our place in Isaan, and another 3 days in Bangkok before the departure.
I’ve already post some of my favs in the previous posts, like the Mother & Daughter on this rainy afternoon walk, or some beach landscapes.
So I will brought to you 3 shots i think are quite good, covering the trip areas : Read the rest of this entry »
April was the month !!… I mean is always the month cause the one of my birthday 
But this one was a bit special as it started my trip to Thailand, to see my lil’ family over there. I stayed almost 4 weeks and it would have been my first one with the D50 so no need to tell you that I shot at will…
From the last week of april (1st of the trip) i would select a few portraits that will stay as fav of the whole Thai 2007 serie.
Fishermen from the local villages go out to sea nightly on boats but they also start fishing from the beach at the end of the afternoon.
Men used nets to catch some small fishes and crabs while ladies dig sand for seafood thanks to the low tide.
Here’s one of my fav of the moment.
Not really perfect as technically speaking, like the too close alignement of the boat and the island in the back, but i do love this stolen moment.
It was taken in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, on the Dolphin bay beach near Pranburi, just 40 mins south of famous Hua Hin, between Khao Sam Roy Yot mounts and the Siam Gulf of Thailand. Read the rest of this entry »
