The biggest one ...

Airbus A380, powered by four Engine Alliance engines, shot with a Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro zoom, while landing at the Toulouse Blagnac airport.

The longest one ...

... Is not the A380, as you could believe, but the A340-600 (by about 3 meters).



This one, shot during landing after a test flight, is powered by four Rolls-Royce engines (if in doubt, click on the picture, get the bigger size, and look at the logo on the engine cases ...).

Beluga ...

Sorry for the sea lovers, but this is not a fish (at least, not only ...)

First shots with the B+W polarizer

Hi all, because of a rainy day, i decided to test the new filter at home. The model is a "souvenir" from the expo Africajarc, an amethyst egg with its wood base, in direct cloudy light with the Sigma 70-300 and the B+W polarizer.






Hoping to post more soon ...

A few minerals ...

Finally, some shoots ...

Hi all,

After some time spent playing with The GIMP and various raw photos converters, here are some results ...


A coffee cup from my friend's mother collection ...



A rose from her garden ...



As usual, the pictures have been taken with a Pentax K10D, either with the stock 18-55, or with a Sigma 70-300 APO ...
The originals are in Pentax raw format, and converted to JPEG (and scaled) by The GIMP ... More to come as soon as i decide what to publish ...

BTW, for the most curious between you, i am currently using The GIMP 2.2.14, with the ufraw plugin, and the Pentax Photo Laboratory software (based on the Silkypix engine) ...
