Actually I spent just a morning at taking pictures, but the whole experience was great. The temperature was pretty tough (5F/-15C) but the weather was all right, no snowstorm this time. Working in such a temperature is a challenge, you really have to use gloves and the fact is that manipulating photographic equipment with gloves is a mess. More than a time I had to take off the gloves and then feel the pain when touching the metal of the tripod/camera, but I just wasn’t able to do the adjustment with them. I sounds like I need a bit of practice (and possibly more pain) to understand.
- #1/#3: Same scene but different view, which one is your favorite?
- #4: Those little dots are people, they’re about to climb a giant frozen fall!
- #6: Resting in an igloo. As surprising as it might be, it’s pretty hot in there, well, I mean in comparison to outside…

I went back to the Golden head park to visit my buddies the butterflies but they weren’t in good shape, the glasshouse was almost empty, only something like 20 butterflies were still there. Indeed, the exposition is supposed to end the 30th of January, so they’re not planning to release butterflies anymore, they’re just waiting for the one already released to die. Those still there were of course still amazing, here is 3 photographs. The first one is taken with a wide lens (instead of a usual Macro lens), it gives a different perspective on this huge butterfly, the Yellow-Edged Giant-Owl Caligo.

Not a photo shoot, just an adventure! Of course I had brought some photographic equipment “just in case” but the main point was to experience the Alps. What a great time we had, with 4 feet of snow, (I’m not kidding!) our snowshoes were pretty busy, and so valuable! especially when we got hit in a snowstorm (#3, If I had had a weather proof camera I would have done more…). Cold landscapes are always my favorites, I really have to work on them. In those places, the ambiance is so unique: harsh weather, no tourists, great sound (wind, stepping on the snow…), rare animals but very great looking when they’re around (e.g: foxes, with their great fur in winter). Stay tuned for a some real work in the Alps
