I found this beautiful mirror at “magasin général D’Aoust G & Cie” , Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Qc.

Could not resist taking the shot.

Still no D90… Should be for next week. Life goes on.

I found a variant to my “Bellyshooting” technique: Here I am “Capshooting”:

Gee, I love the downtown Montreal stores “vitrines” and their mannequins. I could spend hours to shoot images, endless possibilities…

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!

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…

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 : -)

I was due for a couple of “Self”.

The following shot was taken in a shopping mall. Lise was standing back, amused at watching people trying to figure out what I was shooting in the ceiling.
