About photography
Filed Under Daily
After 3 days battling with water drops, I have to admit, it is NOT EASY. Hundreds of shots taken produce a few decent pictures and one or maybe two very good if you are lucky. I am glad digital photography exists. I would not have enough money to pay for my shots of the drops in the old days. I became obsessed with the drops I have to say. This feeling is so strange! Having the tools to make awesome pictures in my living room is just wonderful. I need to be patient and learn more. This is just one technique and it is not as complicated as you think!
DAMN YOU WATER DROPS, I REALLY HATE YOU!

Everything has a first time

I could keep up with Peter for 1.2 km and he was passing me but… today something happened! To his surprise, he found me next to him at the other end. To my surprise, he stopped and let me pass. Unbelievable! I am just happy, it finally happened! He took the lead after but not for too long. I still remember my breakthrough with Brent 5 years ago. The young lad provoked me one day saying he would add 1 mile to any distance I’d run with him. We did run few hours that day and he ended limping because of a knee injury and I left with one certainty: I can run for a very long time at a very decent speed!
Long distance swimming and running is a different type of exercise. It relies more on your mental strength than your fitness. You can change the result if you are mentally stronger.

“Like city’s rain, my heart rains”
Filed Under Daily
from Paul Verlaine. Every time it rains, I remember this poem. My body is broken today. The hard walk and the run yesterday converge to the same result, my sufferings. I am still in love with my new toy. I need to spend some time today to learn more and try some tutorials. I need to become a professional photographer before I leave for vacation with Anne, Fabien and Olivier. In the end, the first picture I took was the backyard tree. It was not very nice because it was a bit dark. Many pictures were bad but since it is digital, I can redo :). I love digital cameras.
I will go to the city, buy a tripod and maybe a good bag for the camera and the lens.
