Typical French men always seem to have a fag on ....... hilariously he asked me to photoshop it out : )
The sky was so bright, I quickly started using a flash to fill in (much to everyone's astonishment).
By the end of the first day, the backs of my hands were blistered and swolen from the strong sun, yuk.
This photo was taken on April 18, 2008 in Doigs, Saint Paul, AG, using a Nikon D80.

Wow. Brilliant. All that action going on, and the fisheye makes for a real dynamic view. Great capture, Jerm!

Blues and white! Lovely combination given all the stuff going on. Again, nice use of the fisheye. It works really well here.
