L'histoire du spectacle son et lumières Liu San Jie est basée sur une comédie musicale chinoise très populaire, a été mise en scène par le cinéaste chinois Zhang Yimou. Le spectacle dure 70 minutes et regroupe plus de 600 figurants, dont les minorités Zhuang, Miao et Yao. Les différents tableaux mettent très bien en valeur, par des jeux de lumières et de fumigènes, le cadre fantasmagorique des montagnes karstiques de Yangshuo et valorise les paysages, les populations, particulièrement les pêcheurs, les groupes féminins, le folklore local

These jays are normally wary and won't come into our feeding station, but an 8 degree morning requires calories to stay warm. Caution be damned.

Our beautiful world, pass it on

A macro shot of blue crystals. I think these are Alum Crystals, but I'm not 100% sure about that. The ingredients are: Monoammonium Phosphate, Aluminium Potassium Sulfate, and Sodium Chloride. This is the kit I used... www.4m-ind.com/product_view.php?id=272&page_no=1&...

Check out the timelapse video I did of them growing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOIMiUw_UjQ&feature=youtu.be

Aireys Inlet again, at sunset (along the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia).

On Explore/interestingness for August 24, highest position #68.

This was one of my first shoots with the new D810 and the Sigma 50 1.4 Art.

Tried to get both nails and face in focus and keep the ISO low. Note: Even f5.6 at 50mm does not work 100 % to get both in focus...

Scene was lit by a external SB910 speedlite, bounced against a white wall.

I love fuji blue

I did not come prepared to shoot wildlife, yet here he was...

Flowering now in the garden, this small shrub has a lovely combination of blue flowers and the leaves are a warm yellow colour. It will continue flowering well into autumn.
