I finally broke down and did my first HDR + Tone Mapped photo and here is the results. I am still not sure how I feel about the whole thing in general (HDR that is) but I have seen some pretty impressive photos.
This scene captures the vibrant essence of Mechelen, a historic city in Belgium, known for its well-preserved medieval architecture and cultural significance. The buildings along this pedestrian street showcase traditional Flemish architecture with ornate facades and intricate gables, reflecting the city's rich history. Mechelen was an important center of art and politics during the Renaissance period and retains its charm through these architectural gems, which blend Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance styles.
Economically, Mechelen thrives as a hub of trade and tourism. The bustling street in the image is lined with cafes and shops, indicating the city's reliance on local and international visitors. Historically, the city played a significant role in the cloth trade during the Middle Ages, and this legacy continues as Mechelen markets itself as a destination for unique crafts, jewelry, and artisanal goods. Today, its vibrant local economy combines traditional industries with modern business opportunities.
Culinary traditions are also highlighted in Mechelen's street life. The cafes seen in the image represent Belgium's renowned love for gastronomy. Visitors can enjoy regional specialties like Mechelen's famous 'cuckoo' chicken, paired with Belgian fries, or indulge in craft beers brewed locally. Dessert lovers often find themselves enchanted by the city's assortment of waffles, chocolates, and pastries, all of which are easily accessible in this lively district.
Overall, this street scene encapsulates the essence of Mechelen as a harmonious blend of history, culture, and modernity. The cobblestone square at the forefront evokes a sense of timelessness, while the vibrant activity and colorful shopfronts signal a city alive with energy. Mechelen’s charm lies in its ability to bridge the past and present seamlessly, offering both residents and tourists a rich and diverse experience.

It was a competition of some sort for young girls at the Fair. I was in the back of the room, and there was no way to get enough DOF to get both the phone and the stage in focus. But by taking two photos--first the phone, then the stage, in focus--I was then able to composite them into a single story telling image. I should have taken a third shot, since there is blur visible in the audience between the phone and the stage. Oh well, next time...

Captured on the Samsung S25 Ultra, this stunning coastal sunset lit up the sky in fiery tones of orange, gold, and violet. The waves rolled gently against the pebble shore, while the rugged cliffs stood watch as day gave way to night. One of those moments where nature does all the work — I just pressed the shutter
The roseate spoonbill is beautiful in almost any light but the setting sun gives it almost a luminous look !! We are so fortunate to have this species in Florida and to be able to see it in different situations and light .
Wishing you all a blessed and wonderful day !!!
My other half, capturing the view on the Dwyryd Estuary at Portmerion - and no, he doesn't post his images online!
A gift from a wonderful friend :)
