I love this time of the year. The muddy fields are keeping people away. Not me, mud is fun.
I have the proper apparel, good old nice dirty boots. So great for photography, the landscape is mine!
The only problem, as Rubis is always part of my adventure, a bath for her is in order when we are back home.
Bah, that is ok, it is worth the outing.

Hum, it’s not easy to put text to this picture, I just had the honor to be at the right place, at the right time.

I took this beautiful set up, a few weeks ago, in a “vitrine” of Parasuco store, on Saint-Catherine street in Montreal.
It is a realization of M. Dick Walsh.

We had a superb photo session, Cédric and I, Sunday last.
I have localized that spot a few months ago, while having a walk with my “girl friends” (or my friends that happen to be women).
Recently, Cédric proposed the idea to have a photo shoot where he would perform Kung Fu form.
1 + 1 = 2
All right!

I have 2 or 3 ideas of images to be done in the same spot, but I will need help for the logistic, working on it.

My BlackBerry is dead. Enter a new iPhone, photo wise it has potential, a definite cool factor.

This picture is a reflection in a beer copper fermenter at resto “les Trois brasseurs” in Montreal.
This is me and 2 good friends, computer security specialists, can’t tell their names, they might be armed.
I am joking.
What a great week this was, I have attended the ” ISO27001 lead auditor” 4 days courses plus today’s 3 hours exam.
So good to be back home.

The tendency for this summer women’s bathing suits will be largely dominated by pastel colors and use of thick tissues, comfort is a priority while preserving that classic look…
Héhéhé….

Some of my Flickr friends have done beautiful shots of butterflies in an exposition held in Montreal. I was a bit jealous until I found this one in Valleyfield.

Ahhhhh, my D90 is back in service, after 32 days 2 hours et 17 minutes.
That was long!
It feels soooo good to work with the DSLR. So much control over the image, working with RAW files and quality lenses.
It was a good lesson, working for more than a month with older “point & shoot” camera. I won’t retire them yet, I now realize there are times where they can do a pretty descent job.
This shot was taken on Sainte-Catherine street in Montreal, no superpositions; a display and some reflections from the street.
