About
This is my 6th upload from our trip to Paris last weekend.
Somebody left a comment on my previous shot of the Notre-Dame Cathedral telling me it went to number 1, no such luck, but I am real pleased with the 5th place in explore and a front page appearance of course !!! ;-)
This is the interior of the Sainte Chapelle church, a very small church very near to the Notre-Dame cathedral with a splendid interior.
I've taken this on a tripod, although that was not allowed, We've paid 2x7.5€ to get in, there wasn't a notice anywhere that warned us that the usage of a tripod was forbidden, not on the ticket sales office, not on the tickets themselves, not on the entrance, really nowhere.
So I was quite upset that from the moment I put my tripod down to take a shot a lady of security came running to me waving no signs at me, she went right back to her seat aswell, well away from the crowd to avoid a discussion I guess. I call this teft, be clear about your rules before we pay a whopping 15€ to get in. So I decided they could stuff it and watched an appropriate moment to hide between a group with guide and set my tripod up in the narrowest configuration that would allow it to stand.
What is your opinion on such practices ???
The shot
Standard 3 exposures HDR [-2,0,+2EV] in RAW/ISO100 at f/9.1 using the Sigma 10mm fisheye lens on a tripod.
Photomatix
Tonemapped using the detail enhancer.
Photoshop
° Small rotation and stretched horizontally to get it dead straight and to lose a bit of the fisheye deformation
° Clone stamped away the blue ribbon that is used to keep the tourist to get too close.
° Curves masked away on the darkest areas.
° Desaturation of the reds.
° Deepening the blues ( more saturation and less lightness ).
° A bit of dodging on the darker areas and on the highlights.
° A Smart sharpen filter.

...después de haber derrumbado en 1785 la antigua iglesia gótica, los Caballeros Teutónicos mandarosn construir el edificio clasicista con su imponente cúpula de 50 m de altura. Cuándo en 1809 la Orden fue disuelta, el acabado interior se quedó sin terminar. Fue concluido en 1095 después de que la iglesia de Sta. Elisabeta hubiera sido entregada a la parroquia católica. La cruz de la Orden Teutónica recuerda a los constructores de la iglesia......
Happy Make Your Bench Anywhere Monday ... :)
When I wanted to capture this neat building there in Taos, New Mexico, I made sure to included the two women there looking up at something that caught their attention.
Liked how they were putting the wall there in use as their bench ;)
Citizens Building (aka Citizens Bank, Pacific Western Bank, Key Bank).
975 Oak Street, Eugene, OR.
Built: 1975.
Architects: Callison, Erikson, and Hobble/ Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill.
I owe my inspiration for this shot to my flickr friend Andy Andrew Thomas 73. Once I saw his excellent and 'Explored' shot of the Flatiron Building in New York City, I just knew that I had to see it and capture it for myself. It was very difficult not to follow his example and tone the image in B&W, save for the selectively coloured and iconic, yellow cab. Wishing you all a good week ahead!

It was the first Taj property and the first Taj hotel. ... Hotels which accepted only European guests were very common across British India then.
The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai has the Indian restaurant on its ground floor by the name, Masala Kraft. All tea served on its menu costs ₹450 and a cup of coffee ₹450, excluding taxes.
