Color Mood : Whites (2)

This is the second part of the color mood : whites, started a couple days ago.

You'll see statues, nature (butterfly, flowers), and snowy landscapes.

Into the world of butterflies

Probably my favorite subject in photography, are butterflies (alongside moths). They are beautiful, colorful, not too small to always need my macro attachment on the ready (though it can help a lot), butterfly seasons are my favorite. 

I say seasons, because where I live, butterflies have 2 or 3 generations : in spring, summer and autumn. In all my winters, I've seen butterflies very rarely, and only due to global warming which gave us a few very mild, and quite warm winters. 

TB photo diary : Lavaudieu Part 2

The first part of Lavaudieu's photo diary concentrated on the village itself, and now I present natural Lavaudieu for this second part, concentrating on nature : flowers and insects were quite present, and I had the amazing chance to photograph both dragonflies and a hawk-moth, which had been so difficult to see and shoot as they are so fast and tend to be far away from my lenses. 

In this album, you'll see fishes from the river, a bee and a butterfly sharing lavender flowers, and a flock of finches sharing a tree with swallows. 
I tweaked only levels, contrasts, and color balances (adding or deleting lightness and/or saturation). 

I totally de-saturated one of the fish photos.


Enjoy !
