Ah for once, let's shut up ...before I do so, just to say that I got this baby to make me forget I turned 30 (nah, that's not true, I'm only 10, ask my mum...)
I've never played drums because but this one is very intuitive so after getting a nice tuning a bit of practice, I was quick to get something decent, great for an impatient mind like me & great to keep the flow of creativity going :-D Better performances here....
...again with the cheapest of my lenses, the most demanding one that keeps me making concessions again and again...but always delivers something surprising and never bores me ...my Nifty fiftinou :-D
These look like stills from a movie, or a storyboard :-D

Oops, 'been a while since I last posted. I've had a few big changes in my life lately hence the absence of any activity on this blog for a couple of months...but during that length of time I got to use Lightroom, which for a long time I considered as a sort of very light version of photoshop and kind of unworthy of being invested in.
It's actually saving so much time on my workflow, it's unreal ! I mean it wouldn't be relevant on all my shoots but for the ones that need little work on but rather a quick selection and - very importantly - a fast way to get the same action replicated on all the pictures without having to open them all...that's just a brilliant tool. The other 2 good things about Lightroom are that you can always go back to the original picture, even after quitting the program, saving you the hassle of having X copies of one picture, and you have some funky presets that I love to play with.
Here are collages of 3 of them...helps creating a mood and unity in your selection :
These are my 6 days in the French Alps, in a nutshell...3 gorgeous days, 2 miserably rainy days where we had to take a walk and visit the Grande Chartreuse monastery to avoid boredom in the chalet, and 1 snowy day!
I took a few videos too, managed to make a montage out of it. My brother, living in the region, flew (paragliding..) twice during that week. I wanted to mount my action camera on his ankle to get another angle of the flight but unfortunately it was out of battery, didn't have the spare one so I guess that's just going to be a static view from the ground :-( I played with a few Magic Bullet filters on this one...hope you like it and hope you like the song too (that was a birthday present from my bro, fab cover, one of those that are "better than the real thing" :-)
