Spotlights

It is absolutely amazing how the world can change when looking at it from a mirrorless camera, where you can see the future result of the photo being taken. It all appears like magic: blur, bokeh, light effects, etc.

I'm especially interested in bokeh; as I'm still not that used in creating or finding ingenious light sources, I usually move my camera around me until I jump for joy when the expected phenomenon suddenly shows up on my screen/viewfinder!

Here I was not at all planning on photographing any sort of bokeh as no source of lights were in sight, but it so happened that some building site lamps lit up when I was playing with my camera... My jaws just dropped when it appeared before me from nowhere expected :-)

Shadows

On a recent end-of-autumn day, coming out of my place for a little walk almost at sunset, my eyes were caught by this bushy wild grass for quite some time.
My camera too of course :-)

I just loved the atmosphere that was emerging from this garden!

Eye wink

This will be the last article about animals for some time - I'm definitely back to nature and bokeh after that...

I just wanted to show you the wonderful eyes (especially eyelashes) of some of the cows I saw there, I was truly amazed at this sight :-)

Funny looks

Another article about my little outing at Nanterre :-)
It will only be B&W pictures this time; some animals were so amusingly posing that I couldn't resist photographing them...

(apologies for the many animal bottoms that will show up!)

Ears and horns

During my last trip to the outdoor farm in Nanterre, I happened to take several pictures of animals ears or other details like their horns, hair etc...

I thought some of these photos made quite a nice combination, so I tried gathering them in an article to see how it looked like :-)

Bright red

Such a bright red color in the forest, it sure is a very noticeable mushroom! Not sure about its name though...

Photo mash-up #16

Today theme will be: FOREST YELLOW! 
I know, 'yellow' was also part of the last photo mash-up, but autumn colors are so really beautiful :-)
