Picture taken while at a Baton Rouge restaurant to celebrate Val’s 18th birthday. The place is dark, there is some kind of a small lantern with a yellow glow.
Val put her chin on the table, we took a couple of shots. Done.
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD870.

OK, My Nikon D90 is gone for the next 3-4 weeks. It hurts, at the same time I take it as a challenge.
If the camera does not make the photograph, well, I am up to the task. Today’s picture was taken with an old retired “point and shoot” camera, with a whooping 5 megapixels! Yahoo. In JPG format (snif, I am hooked on RAW format).
I am not that desperate, still have a good reserve of pictures, nevertheless I will continue adding up new images taken with the old cameras.
Of course, production will suffer, in the mean time I will play more music with my faithful Bass guitar, hey it is like that: “I’ve got the music in me”.
** Careful playing that song, it is very addictive…
Merci Kiki Dee Band!
Canon PowerShot S2 IS
Exposure : 1/6

After “cute” Jessiane, here’s my beautiful Val.
When we are in a photo session Val and I, we don’t talk much. The picture comes naturally.
So please excuse me if I don’t have much to say.
I Think the image talks by itself.
Merci Val!

I don’t want to miss that!
Haha! I have improved the technique of shooting with the camera on my belly: I can now shoot while moving!
To achieve this feat, I put the shutter in timer mode with a 2 second delay then I press the button and move toward my target with my usual, amazing grace…
I must admit, it does require practice, indeed lots of it, nice to be in the digital age.
Now I must find a name for this technique, what about bellyshooting ? Hum…

A father-daughter discussion that goes like this:
“Hum, it’s been a long time since we did one, I think it is time!
Yep, what do we do?
Well, I thought using that small ladder I bought for shooting, the softbox and the 50 candles I bought at the Dollar store.
What about the feathers?
Nah! I don’t feel like using them, on the other hand, Ced has those fancy knives…”
And here we go…

This picture was taken last week while going shooting with a group of Flickr friends: Nature-Elle, Sarah-Vie, Etonan, TreborF and ! titi !.
This superb portrait has a particularity: my daughter Val, did the shot (nice framing) and took the post-production decisions.
Needless to say, the awesome artistic value of this image is mostly due to the charismatic presence of the model (that would be me).
And yes, it’s real blood, I found a way to scratch my nose on the fence…

Follow up on a series of reflections in a display, at D’Aoust G & Cie store in Saint-Anne-de-Bellevue, “vitrines” that will always be in a class apart…
I thought of calling this image; “The belly controlled pic” . Did the shot with the camera hanging on my stomach with a 2 second timer delay.
I have received an excellent news today, one of my pictures received an honorable mention in a “Get published” contest from the makers of the Lensbaby lens systems.
Guess which one! Honorable Mention Gallery : -)
