I opened this Flickr account in order to share some pictures I took during a trip around the world. It's precisely during this journey that I (re)discovered photography. And because storing thousands of images takes so much time, I kept on shooting in the meanwhile. That's why my gallery is now quite hybrid and is not really related with travel anymore. However, I want now to go back in time and post a little serie of pictures taken in Cambodia ...

I could not sleep, so I decided to drive about an hour to go over the amazing "Creux-du-Van". I planted to be there for sunrise. Unforunatly, I lost myself in the little roads and I arrived 5-10 minutes after the sun. This is the very first picture I took : only a moment later, the beautiful orange light was gone ...
I'll probably go once again this summer. And l'll try to have a wide angle with me ...
I processed a little bit, especially in order to remove a big lense flare ...
This image was explored on the 15th of June 2015. Thank you !

🌸🌸 Since I've been in Japan in 2014, I can't imagine spending spring without celebrating our Swiss Sakura ! It's a little bit late, but it doesn't really matter. And as a matter of fact, there's always two sakuras here : the one near the lake, and a few week after, the one in the mountains. It's for this kind of shots that I realise how I love my sigma lenses. I haven't totally switched to Full frame just to keep my 18-35mm f/1.8 and 50-100mm f/1.8 : these are real crazy creative tools and the bokeh is beyond words !

My agenda and the sunrise are correlated again, so I can catch the sunrise on the alps while driving to work. The morning the air was particularly dry, making possible to get such a detailed view on the mountains. This kind of shot are now quite classic on my stream (I should really find new ideas, I am repeating a little ...). But I find that beautiful every time.
It is also the occasion for me to use my new 5D mark III for the very first time on a publication. I bought it second hand recently, and I only took personal shots with a 50mm so far. I decided to try the APS-C Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 on it to shoot the alps: vignetting is really reasonnable at 100mm. Which is nice ! However,on this kind of picture at 100 ISO, I can't say it produce better image than my 80D : different tools for different use ... (in low light, it's another story ...)

James Cameron never made this explicit, but that's only a detail for chinese tourism offices : Zhangjiajie National Park is the crazy place that inspired Pandora in the Avatar movie.
And we can't deny the similitude : when the mist covers the bottom of these match-shaped mountains, it looks like the summit is floating in the air ... So even if it's "only" on our good old earth planet, it's still one of the most stunning scenery it has to offer ...
