Last week was a very productive week in terms of photography.

Monday was the deadline for the 10th We Contest of Lense.fr whose subject was ‘Géometrie’ (Geometry). I really wanted to participate in this one so I grabbed my DSLR and walked for 3 hours (until I ran out of battery) near the BnF (Bibliothèque nationale de France). I was amazed to see so much new buildings with original architecture and of course I took a shot for the contest there (see the shot a the end).

But the BIG event of the week was clearly the Lense Party #7 (Paris Safari) which brought together about sixty members of Lense. After gathering at Chatelet, this small world was split up into 8 or 9 teams, each one of them heading toward different places. The lottery made me join the group leaded by Soket : Double black gommettes \o/. We spent about 3 hours walking from Gare de l’Est to Montmartre with a little coffee break to warm up. I really enjoyed this afternoon, everybody on my team was nice, we talked about our equipment, techniques, and experiences while shooting. Around 7pm, we got together with the other groups for a party at the Cleub, the occasion to see the favorite shot of each member on a big screen and of course talk, drink some beer and blind everybody with a tupperwared cobra flash for others ;). In one word : A-W-E-S-O-M-E !

A funny thing about this Lense Party is when I realized that I kinda knew Beorn, one of the coaches. Actually, he attended to my end of studies project final presentation as a jury a few weeks ago :).
