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 :
June…. Back from Thailand, lots of shots in the computer to sort, lots of memories too…
It was a quiet month photographically speaking, but i’ll show you 2 photos :
one close-up of my old minolta XD-5 and one of a forsaken corridor, taken during the set of a documentary about WWII spies, taken in Bletchley Park, UK.
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 »
What was also interesting there, for a ‘wanna be photographer’ like me 
was the tide thing.
It was quite important, so the result was some residual water on the upper part of the beach to play with when framing…
Here are a few examples of my say :
Ok, let’s go on with the place : the Dolphin Bay beach, 5km long as said before.
Here are a few shots from the area I manage to get when the terrible weather had some ‘time-out’…
