I have followed my guiding star and finally met with her under the tree.
Have you found your guiding star tonight?
Have a great Sunday!

LA GUIDA
Mio nonno mi ha insegnato la strada
Verso Est,
per concedermi la forza degli orsi;
Verso Sud,
per concedermi la forza dell'aquila;
Verso ovest,
per concedermi la saggezza del gufo;
Verso Nord,
per concedermi l'astuzia della volpe;
Sulla terra,
affinché mi doni i suoi frutti:
Sul cielo,
affinché conduca una vita buona.
Alonzo Lopez
THE GUIDE
My grandfather taught me the way
Towards East,
to grant me the strength of bears;
Towards the South,
to grant me the strength of the eagle;
Towards the west,
to grant me the wisdom of the owl;
To the north,
to grant me the cunning of the fox;
On earth,
so that it gives me its fruits:
On the sky,
so that he leads a good life.

We made a little hike up Tahquitz Canyon outside of Palm Springs. Our hike had a guide who explained all the plants used by native people.

A lovely sunset last week when I was cycling back from St Ives. This was just the beginning, but the colour was amazing.
That's not actually traffic, it's just the sun reflecting off the Misguided Fussway track.

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.

All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are ( as always ) welcome.

Met up with Ed at Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge, Virginia for a sunrise shoot not too long ago. No clouds but plenty of color. Was off my game somewhat, I'll be ready next time!

Guided by the Night
The Milky Way appears above the Swift River and the Albany Covered Bridge in the White Mountain National Forest
With the high summits in and out of the clouds on my days off, I settled on staying below tree line. I have shot here a few times a long time ago and I guess it was time for me to try and get a decent shot here. After wandering around the bridge, I finally found this bit of rushing water that seemed to hold my interest so I waded out carefully with camera in hand to set up. The foreground is actually from blue hour, just as the stars were appearing, then I waited in the cold river, with fish nibbling on my toes, to shoot the sky. All in all, it took about an hour and a half to shoot this, but the results from this technique are certainly worth it!
