Yesterday I went to a butterfly exposition in our city park, the “Parc de la tête d’or” (Golden head park). I had never seen such butterflies, they were quite amazing, in size and color. It was a good opportunity to use my Macro lens and flash. With maybe 100 butterflies in a small room, the place was a photographic paradise, I spent something like 2 hours there but I could have stayed an entire day without getting bored. #5 and #8 are my favorite, they give a different view. Naturally, all the butterflies photographed are alive!

It’s been more than a month since I haven’t posted on this blog, I’m really sorry about that. I’m now back in France and didn’t have much time to travel around and use my camera. The 5D II is back on track (thanks Canon) and the only small outing I’ve been able to do is yesterday, to the Festival of Lights in my home town, Lyon. The is not my usual kind of photography but it’s always interesting to try different things. I have been celebrating this Festival since my childhood and I’ve seen it change and grow through the years, it is now a huge event. Even if people are not religious, they almost all place candles along the outsides of all their windows, I guess it gives us a feeling of being part of something, and as a kid, the moment is quite magic.
There you go:
- #1: Inside the Fourviere Basilica, people are lighting candles.
- #2: In the old Lyon, a clown is performing in the cold.
- #3: Louis XIV statue, Ferris wheel in Background, slow shutter speed.
- #4,#5: Rose-window lit from inside the cathedral.
- #6: Terreaux Square during the show “Let’s play with time”.
