entry description
I arrived in the early morning in the marshes of Camargue (Provence-France). The day before the wind had blown very strong, so many pollen and plant particles had to fly in all directions. When I discovered the scene, I immediately thought of a photograph shot from the sky: I climbed on a stepladder, and I shot with a telephoto lens to strengthen the perspective.about the photographer
