I caught pretty Jessiane, lost in her thought in her “fully equipped” walker…

This picture was taken in Valleyfield, a few weeks ago, during the qualifications for “les jeux du Québec”.

As the organizer allowed me to get close to the action, I choose to use my faithful 50 mm lens. That way I had plenty of light and was able to use a decent shutter speed (1/500 of a second) to freeze the movement.

Bad news… My D90 is in a bad shape, the rough landing on the sidewalk was damaging. The base of the body is cracked. No DSLR for at least 3 weeks. And the invoice might be hard to swallow.

As I said before, photography is a dangerous sport, this time the wallet will be the victim.

Here is my latest model: the gorgeous Jessiane.

Saturday last I had the chance to do a photo session with 2 very young and wonderful kids. I challenged myself by using the LensBaby composer for the whole shooting.

To start with, the LensBaby is not easy to manipulate as your are in manual mode, photographing the small fellas requires a strategy of its own. You must crawl among them for a good period, until they don’t notice you anymore, until you become part of their world.

No flash, a superb sunset light through the patio door.

A splendid model she is.

Thanks to the parents.
