A tree in Zion stands starkly against a rock wall, waning fall colors still adding a bright touch to the canyon.
Shot with the Sigma Quattro H and the 70mm Art lens. Shot as an SFD image, processed the X3F files separately in AuroraHDR after outputting 16-bit TIFF files from SPP for each of the separate exposures. To help reduce noise I batch-altered each image to a -1.0 exposure compensation. No wind at all for these shots so no alignment done in software.

The other morning I came here to a little park by the bridge. Bridges like this make living on small islands possible for people without boats. Everybody wants to live on an island. More at goo.gl/LLfcuc
Last week we were in Malaga for a day as our ship made it's only port of call before crossing the Atlantic. As luck would have it, it rained cats and dogs, which was perfect for my purposes.
I like shooting at night, but if I have to take photos in a European city during the day, rain is my next best friend. It puts everyone a little out of sorts as they rush to and fro with umbrellas. It also creates that nice sheen on the ground to add a little extra something to the image. The only catch is you have to be willing to get wet, which I did, beyond a reasonable doubt.
I had been here previously when I was about eleven years old. When I saw the section of the city that faced the port, little bubbles of long lost memories began to percolate. My conscious mind has long folded over those early years, but it would've been nice to have an old photo to help free more bubbles. Nevertheless, I was struck with the desire to return and explore a little more. So I will plan on that, and when I do, who knows what I might uncover.
This picture was 3 exposures combined in AuroraHDR with a Lindale preset applied in FX Studio CK.
Then I transferred into Pixelmator and made a duplicate layer which I rotated 180 degrees and applied a Dissolve Filter. Then I rotated it back and in the process mis-aligned the exposures.
This picture is a bad dream which should be used as a warning to all young people of the dangers of Champagne! Pour me another glass Darling!
