Photo: Blueberry season
BEST thing I like: I love the colour of the blueberries (it's really blue and not purple) and the frosting on the foremost scoop of ice cream.
Camera: Canon 350D with 50 1.4
What I like LEAST: I don't like the look of that second scoop of ice cream in the back which fell on its side and caused the mint leaf to fall slightly out of place as well.
****************************************
Blueberry ice cream, tartelette aux myrtilles and tartelette aux framboises :)
Wild blueberries from the forest, very tasty, cannot even be compared to those cultivated blueberries which are of course much bigger but taste like water :S
Raspberries from my garden :P
This was part of my breakfast on wednesday.

Week #131: 06/05
Photo: Shinto bride 1: tsuno-kakushi
BEST thing I like: It is a candid shot, straight from the camera and I love how it captures the serenity and elegance of the bride.
Camera: Canon 40d.
What I like LEAST: I should have cropped it a fraction to get rid of the little space in the bottom left corner - it bugs me!!
******************************************
A picture of serenity, this lady had just been married at a shinto ceremony in Meiji Shrine, Tokyo, and was waiting patiently for the wedding photography to commence. Her hood is called the tsuno-kakushi hood and translates literally as “hiding the horns”...
Taken handheld, leaning on a nearby tree!

Photo: Looking Up
BEST thing I like: I love the clarity in the focus, with the contrasting bokeh in the background.
Camera: Canon EOS 400D with 50mm f1.4 lens
What I like LEAST: I haven't been able to recreate a picture of this quality since. The white balance could also do with a tweak.
*******************************************
Becks looking up at the fireworks going off around the edge of the Grande Place in Brussels at the new year.
As some people have pointed out the main fireworks were cancelled this year due to a terrorist threat, which was a real shame. Becks is actually looking at fireworks being launched by members of the public from around the edge, where there was less police.

Photo: the mask
BEST thing I like: The black mask on black background... really made the colors jump.
Camera: Pentax Optio 60
What I like LEAST: Lighting was minimal... the colors are actually even more vivid than shown( for instance the red is a true scarlet).
********************************************
This mask was a school project from my daughter during her Jr. or Sr. year in the highschool. I have always admired the workmanship and vivid colors. It has found a permanent place on top of the bookcase.

Week #128: 04/17
Photo: Mr charles
BEST thing I like: What I like in this photograph, it is that it treats of a subject which involved me personally: repatriates of Indo-China. I am myself half Vietnamese. This photo was taken in old refugee camps, I wanted to symbolize the loneliness of these old repatriates and to show the social isolation in which they live...homesickness. How the French government gave up.
Camera: This photo was taken with Voigtlander Bessa RA3, and an 21mm color skopar lens .
What I like LEAST: i f i have to work again on a technical aspect , i would try to correct the bright sky in the windows zone because it almost burn.
**********************************************************************
MR charles, half French half Vietnamese veteran of the Indochina war, i took this picture in The CAFI CAMP (Centre d’Accueil des Français d’Indochine) located south west of France .
Mr charles live in this camps since 1966.
After The shellacking Of Mai 1954, French authority, had the duty to repatriate all the fighters and their family in France Like thousand of French Vietnamese "repatriates" and not refuges, (that mean they have the French citizenship, for being married with a French, or because they served under the French Flag).
.
France had to compensate them financially for the matérial losses .
They just received a shelter, and a "promise of compensation" which never came!
They where supposed to stay in camps just a few month, temporary become an eternity. In April 1956 more than 1200 people, including 740 children, arrived in the camp.
The young generation left the camps and were integrated quickly with local population.
But the older stay or come back to the camp , this place was for them synonymous of a "little Vietnam"... to old to start a new life , they prefer to stay there.

Photo: Icicle the Albino Squirrel
BEST thing I like: I could say something about composition of lighting, but what I really like best about this photo is that it reminds me very much of my old pet rat, Tiny.
Camera: Canon Powershot A550.
What I like LEAST: The background could be darker, which would give it more impact. I suppose this could be done in photoshop, but I lack the skills. Also, Icicle looks a bit mean here. He was actually very friendly.

What I like LEAST: I wish there had been a spot of color in the scene. Perhaps some red leaves or rocks or glistening log without bark, etc.
*********************************************
Late afternoon near Clay, WV. I used a Nikon D70 in a long exposure to capture the shadows and depth.

What I like LEAST: Noise in the upper left sky that I failed to fix but will not redo.

This was my first time out shooting when there was a decent sunset, so I had to take advantage.
