"Jean-Paul Marat (1743 –1793) was best known for his role as a radical journalist and politician during the French Revolution. He was passionate about the rights of the poorer classes and they, in turn, regarded him as a hero. But Marat’s uncompromising and often violent views also led him to have many enemies. One of these was Charlotte Corday, a supporter of the Girondin political group. On 13 July 1793, Charlotte tricked Marat into allowing her into his apartment. Charlotte stabbed Marat to death in his bath (which he would lie in for hours to relieve a painful skin condition) and she was later tried and guillotined for his murder."
The Death of Marat is a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David, who was a friend of Marat.

My usual 3 exp-shot (-2..0..+2) EV. Not sure why I even do this in HDR. Anyway, here it is! My brand new DSLR camera in HDR!
This weekend, I bought my first DSLR! It's the brand new Canon EOS Rebel T1i along with the brand new Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM. This is not a 5D Mark II, but it will do for now. I just need a Canon body for my new Sigma wide angle lens. Although, it came with the 18-55mm kit lens, I don't see that I will use it much. Anyway, I will be out trying out my new camera on this beautiful Sunday. Hopefully, I know how to turn on this camera. It's certainly turning me on!

This is the DSLR version of a phone shot I took a couple of weeks ago.
I’ve taken to bringing my camera bag to work with so that I can grab a quick image on the commute either way, should conditions be right. After significant rainfall recently, it was nice to see some beautiful Autumnal colours bathed in glorious late afternoon sunlight as I left the factory. So I was quite excited about the possibility of revisiting this location as I headed home.
Somewhat over excited...
I failed to acknowledge that whole reason for the riverines in Fairford Leys is to handle excess rainfall and prevent flooding of the estate. Though I quickly got up to speed after trying to place my tripod in the water... and it immediately started floating away!
With little choice, I jumped in to rescue it, discovering as I did so that the water level was up to my navel...
So, with wellies filling with foul-smelling water and very conscious that my car keys were in a pocket of my jacket mere millimetres from submergance, I did what any sensible person would do... I waded back to shore, deposited the tripod, retrieved my camera and waded back out to take the shot!
May still return to get the long exposure I’d originally envisaged... but I like this handheld version.
Sunrise through the door - this happens for a limited time during the year - just a few days in December - and you have about 2 minutes to capture it! No pressure!
