More fun with the LX3 backstage of fashion week
This is why I bought an LX3. I had all my Canon camera gear packed up in my pelican case and I was leaving through backstage. I see this 3 models and we start have a chat.
I feel like taking a quick picture before leaving ... do I make them wait whilst I unpack all my gear again for a quick snapshot ?
No, I have the LX3 hanging around the neck and here we go for a simple picture. Nothing fancy, but without my small camera I would have had NOTHING at all.

This is another image from the recent Winona, Ontario Peach Festival. Midway. What is a midway without a ferris wheel on top of the various games designed to separate you from your money on the slim chance that you may win a cheesy little prize. But is not the prize, its the bragging rights. Right? Regardless, the lights and the sounds are the draw. In case you are wondering about the game, the idea in this one is to shoot a water-gun at a target (the yellow pattern on the orange squares below the row of monkeys. Above the monkeys are the prizes ordered such that the lower ones are the most likely won and as you look upward, you see the harder to win ones. Midway fun. - JW
The base image was processed using HDR software but since only a single image was used, only the tone-mapping component came into play. Hence the base image is not strictly HDR but, instead is simply tone-mapped. Tone-mapping was chosen to bring out detail that would otherwise be less visible in the poorly lit areas as well as to handle the wide light range that these scenes present and which are difficult to represent well in a conventional image .
Taken using a hand-held Nikon D5000 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24 lense set to 12mm, ISO1000, Full auto mode (no flash), f/4.0, 1/320 sec. HDR processing/Tone-mapping used Luminance/Qtpfsgui, with settings as indicated in the file name and/or below. PP in GIMP: loaded the image and adjusted the tone curve to restore a more natural-looking tonal range as well as bring out the general details and contrast as well as saturation and contrast boost, sharpened, added fine black and white frame added bar and text on left, scaled to 1024 wide for posting.

The show of Raveleijn.
Raveleijn
Ravelin (or "Raveleijn" in Dutch) is a theatre at the Efteling amusement park in the southern Netherlands. It was designed by Sander de Bruijn at a total cost of 30 million Euros and opened its doors on April 8, 2011.
Raveleijn is a multifunctional complex with, amongst others, a theatre, conference hall, restaurant and offices. The main part of Raveleijn is the arena where 5 shows (30 minutes) are performed per day. The open-air arena has a capacity of 1,200 visitors on a total of 1450 m2. The cast has 10 members and the music was composed by René Merkelbach and Het Brabants Orkest with vocals by Anneke van Giersbergen and others. The pen for the animals (5 horses, 1 owl, 1 falcon and 5 ravens) is located next to the parking area. Another main show element is a five-headed, mechanical dragon named draconicon.
The story was written by Paul van Loon and tells the tale of the Woudenberg family of seven who move to the edge of a forest. The children discover an old city gate in the forest, where a tyrant oppresses the people. As it turns out, the five kids have the special gifts needed to fight the tyrant. This story has also been made into a Book, as well as a 12-part miniseries, where more of the plot is revealed.
The show got an update from 30 April 2013 and after, still using the original tale, but with a new decor and some script changes. This new show is produced in partnership with the French theme park Puy du Fou which is renowned for its large open air park shows.
The show starts with the father of the Woudenberg family, walking among the visitor seats saying he has lost his children. After that the main show starts, four of the Children (Thomas, Maurits, Emma and Lisa) walk up to the gate of Ravelin, read the text on the gate, and walk through it. They emerge again, now older, on horses and in armour. They meet up with their younger brother Joost, who says he had discovered the gate before them.
Countess Halina warns them that a falcon is coming, announcing the arrival of the evil count Olaf Grafhart. The count emerges from the water and asks what they are doing in his city. Thomas, the oldest brother, says they are here to free the people of Ravelin of his rule. The count calls his guards, and when Halina stands up for the siblings, he makes her disappear. A fight ensues.
When the siblings emerge victorious, count Olaf calls on his Draconicon, which emerges from the foliage. Thomas calls on his brothers and sisters to make use of their elemental powers, which they got from their weapons. After Draconicon is defeated, the siblings surround count Olaf and Countess Halina is returned. The count is driven back into the water by Halina, and disappears. The siblings go back through the gate, and emerge again in their normal clothes. Here they are also reunited with their dad, and the show ends.
Thought I would have some fun with another one of my friends & my strobist set-up. The final image is a merge of three (just because).

Day three hundred forty-two/365. My training and experience tell me that this familiar depiction of a reclining woman is sexist and objectifying.
I also know, that in my profession, I tend to take some things too seriously. Perhaps this is simply an expression of fun and an acknowledgment of one's sexuality. There is no need to make the world void of such feelings.
So, which is it? Is a symbol such as this degrading to women? Is it a signal that the owner thinks of some human beings as objects? Or, is it just fun? Perhaps there's a line that this doesn't cross . . .
