This is a shot of the bubbles caused by the washing-up liquid, it is amazing how different they look the closer I got.
cacahuete, maní, peanut, arachide, Erdnuß, cacaouette, pero en todas ellas su nombre es... díganlo ahí
The much anticipated Canon EOS 5D Mark II finally came to stores after a long wait, and I have been lucky to get one off the first lot. I also managed to easily sell my trusty Nikon D200 with which I have had a great experience over the years.
This image is from a test shoot with the new 5D Mark II. There is so much more to say about this phenomenal camera but I am going to let the shooting do the talking as I start to use it :-)

Old World Swallowtail (Papilio machaon)
When leaving office yesterday evening, I almost stumbled over this beautiful Swallowtail who just "landed" on our parking lot. Lucky enough, I had my point-and-shot camera with me ... btw: those familar with my pics know that I like contrasts, such as this: wild nature and man made structures, the delicacy of the butterfly and the concrete parking, the colorful creature and the grey background ...
So, I was watering my mom's hanging flower basket tonight, and all at once, I saw this guy fall to the ground. I picked him up, because I wanted to return him to his home, and he decided not to let go of me. So I decided he was going to model for me. Yes, I eventually got him back to his home.
I am wondering if mantis is with complex eyes as other insects. It seems that their eyes will move around and follows the camera. Note the black dots of its eyes are moving around in the photos.
Tome un maní, si prefiere sin concha sólo queda uno, con concha queda para todos los amigos, si prefiere el huevo que la tortilla alcance para todos.
Se que en otros paises concha tiene otro significado, en Venezuela se refiere exactamente a la "capa" que recubre a la semilla
El maní o cacahuete es nativo de la parte tropical de América del Sur, probablemente Brasil. Aun cuando algunos países asiáticos, principalmente China e India, producen cerca de las dos terceras partes de la cosecha mundial, en la actualidad el cacahuete es una fuente importante de aceite para cocinar en los trópicos americanos, ocupando solamente el segundo lugar respecto a la palma de aceite en África.

Yes thats right, you are not mistaken, i did Upload this pic already, but i was going through my folders looking for my fav Macros, and i have to say... this Kicks ass! lol So while waiting for the insects to come out, and i get back to my good old Macro shots... a quick flashback :)
Lo so, avete già visto questa foto... ma visto che è una delle mie Macro preferite meritava tornare qui :)
In attesa che tornassero gli insetti, e per poter fare le foto macro, vi lascio quest immagine :)
The Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG IF HSM is nicknamed the "Popeye" lens (because of its bulgy front element). I had an amazing time using this lens for the first time in Laos. It really lets you get up close within a few inches to give you amazing wide angled shots and a completely different perspective. One of the reasons why full frame rocks!
Laos is the most laid back country I have been to. You cannot take it at your pace. You have to go with the flow - meander around the town on foot, take a boat down the Mekong, get up early in the morning to watch the monks receive alms. This is as close to the romantic Indochina you can get.
The entire city of Luang Prabhang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - "It is an outstanding example of the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures with those built by the European colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its unique, remarkably well-preserved townscape illustrates a key stage in the blending of these two distinct cultural traditions."
Wat Wisunarat is the oldest operating temple in Luang Prabang and was originally built in 1513. It was rebuilt between 1896-98 following the fire set by the Black Flag Haw raiders. When we visited it was empty and you were free to walk around and get as close to the hundreds of statues of Buddha lying around. This is one of the few temples where light flows in from all sides as you can see in this image. The lighting makes the whole temple surreal and gorgeous.
