One of the first picture made with my new Canon EF 85mm ƒ/1.2L II USM.

The Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) is a small wading bird, one of two species of turnstone in the genus Arenaria. It is now classified in the sandpiper family Scolopacidae but was formerly sometimes placed in the plover family Charadriidae.

From left to right then, the male and the female. I only get on try (3-4 pictures) with this one by chance successful. The ducks group took-off to join the other riverside, far away.

Also named “seagull” and very common in Australia. I know… it's not a crocodile (but yes it also attack!). For crocos., don't worry, pictures will be posted right there on my gallery!

The male The female This Australian King Parrots couple (endemic species) was completely free but, because we were standing under the canopy to the Blue Mountains (), the parrots eyes were reflecting the structure. I then decided to remove those “urban” reflexions by re-drawing an eye part. Now, this birds doesn't feel locked in, even […]

I just figured out I didn't post any macro for quite some time; so I decided to go out this past tuesday and make some. Adjustments are relatively basics here, I tried to enhance colors from an initial much more dull picture, to get a result closer to “what I've seen”.

This picture was taken in the Landes region (France). To avoid an high contrast due to the direct sunlight, I've made shadows above the subject. The resulted picture was nice but too dull, so I've adjusted the picture this way (you can compare we the original photo right above, by using the comparison feature).

1:1 Ratio 2:1 Ratio This is an hairy squirrel you can only see on Himalayan Irish beaches. It's easily tamable, you can even ride it when it's adult (ok, here it's a baby). It used to be mixed up with a spider, however, who already ride a spider? Another earmark for adjacent identification which don't […]

I've deliberately used a very thin depth of field (ƒ3.5) to effectively enhance the outline of each leaf. I've made a test with a low aperture (higher ƒ); the result was way different, way less graphic and pleasant — at least for me —.
