Nepal with Amawanda – Nepalese dragonfly
Back from a few days of photo trip to Nepal, I feel it is time to share with you some of this astonishing experience organized by Amawanda and guided by Alain Pons. I am more or less a wildlife photographer attracted to the African wide-open spaces. But I had been attracted mostly by the presence…

Doom is back in 2009 – A leak from Nepal
So, the great FPS game will be back before the end of the year 2009. Either the launch campaign started early in Nepal or the bus drivers are using their vehicles as video game weapons (the latter would explain the extraordinarily high frequency of dramatic road accidents there).

Big photo sensor full of mega-pixels
It’s been quite some time already that a company named Red prepares not only a photo camera but a full photo & video system with a very high level of configurability. I recently stumbled upon the description of the various sensors that intend to included in their cameras. See the size of the larger sensor:…
