This kind of spider is very easy to find at night. The method —given by our friends Yannick— is easy and really effective. At night, place your headlamp and turn it on. Then just walk around turning your head here and there and as soon as a bright spot appears on the ground, you can […]


In April 2012 (no need to point out that it took me a year before posting ^^), I took a full marmots "photo hunt" day. Besides the walk approach — somewhat "vivifying" with 14 kg of gear — I spent literally 7 hours lying in the snow for this result: two marmots photo, no more!

, I continue with this bats skewer. Speaking about shooting and processing, I use, once again, my “to the right” exposure technique, to gain information in dark areas such as wings, then readjust the exposure in post-production. I also remove a piece of branch in the upper right corner. Below, a very poor video (I […]

This is a little joke from the WordPress developers. I discovered this hidden “feature” two or three weeks ago, during my work on the website. I was trying to revert to a previous revision of an article and start comparing two identical revisions which has obviously no sense. I remember that at this instant, I […]
