L'effet papillon, un livre, une expo photo

The book: At the heart of nature conservation issues, this beautiful and exceptional book captures the aerial life of butterflies and reveals their remarkable feats. The butterfly effect also shows how these admirable insects are silently disappearing, threatened by human activities. The exhibition: Some lenses have such exceptional image quality that they open the door to new creative possibilities. This is the case with the Nikkor Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct. Ghislain Simard discovered that he could take unique photographs of butterflies in flight by using it wide open and at close range. The soft focus created by the f/0.95 aperture allows him to magnify the miniature landscapes around his small subjects. The very shallow depth of field guides the eye to specific details. The lens's extreme brightness plays with backlighting in the manner of an Impressionist painter. A successful blend of aesthetics and functionality, butterflies are marvelous flying machines capable of unimaginable feats. These aces of aerial life can migrate thousands of kilometers. They know how to survive winter and its frosts, taking flight with the first thaw. They can also fly for days without eating, solely to reproduce. 00:00 The "Butterfly Effect" Project 01:20 The Book 02:37 The Origins of the Book 04:38 The Photographic Work 07:16 The Sketch of a Model 09:05 A Beautiful Encounter 10:42 An Exhibition
