... Par grande chaleur estivale, personne ne peut résister à sa fraîcheur et à son charme ... Placée en plein centre de Cassis celle-ci ne fait pas exception... À chacune de mes visites dans ce majestueux port de pêcheurs, et comme le fait cette gamine, cette fontaine demeure depuis des années, mon point de rendez-vous...

" Fontain " ... By estival hot summer days, nobody can resist his freshness and its charm… Directly in the middle of the town, this one doesn't make exception... At each one of my visits in this majestic of fishermen port, and like does it this young child, this fountain remains for years, my point of rendez-vous…

The main bright light trail arc across the sky is from Jupiter. Venus rose above the building in front of me during the last 20 minutes or so of the exposure. Above Jupiter is the light trail from Aldebaran, then Betelgeuse and Bellatrix, with Rigel across the top right corner.
The main light trail image was acquired looking ENE from approximately 20:00 - 05:35 (~9.5 hour exposure length). A second image with a 1 minute exposure was acquired at approximately 05:55.
The series of light trails emerging from behind the building in the lower right are related to navigation lights on aircraft taking off from Canberra Airport. The trail that doubles back back to the right just above the building skyline was an aircraft turning after take-off to head for Melbourne to the south. The trail crossing from centre bottom to top right is from an aircraft at high altitude travelling along the Sydney-Melbourne flight path.
Barton, ACT, Australia.
Image acquisition
iPhone 5 - Image acquired using the camera on an iPhone 5.
Slow Shutter Cam - SSC - Two long exposure photographs that were taken over a 9.5 hour period were used to produce the final output, plus 2 additional "dark" images acquired with the camera lens completely covered.
Camera self-response correction
Superimpose - Combined 2 “dark” light images using Normal blend mode and a 50:50 mixture to produce a “Master Dark Image”. Blended the Master Dark Image with the long exposure image using Difference mode.
Simply B&W - Converted the working image to B&W. Unfortunately, I lose the colors of the lights, but the image had a nasty green/red colour cast that I will need to investigate and work out how to correct or avoid.
Combining the light trail image with a brighter image.
Superimpose - The working light trail image was combined with a brighter image acquired using an approximately 1 minute exposure at approximately 05:40 using Lighten Only mode. Then combined the working image with the light trail image in Saturation mode.
Tidying up the results
Superimpose - Applied a mask over the foreground elements to restore them to those in the original brighter image.
Snapseed - Selective brightness and saturation adjustments applied to the foreground elements.
Photo fx Ultra - Soft Light 5 and Edge Glow 5 filters applied. N.B. This app is limited in output size to a maximum of 3072 x 2304 pixels for iPhone 5 images.
Superimpose - Placed the working image in the Foreground and one of the original photos in the Background. Saved the Foreground image, thereby forcing a re-size to the original 3264 x 2448 pixel size. Could have used iResize or other app to do the same.
PaintShop Pro X5 - Some artifacts from the previous processing - mis-alignment and grey patches - retouched using the Clone tool. Topaz DeNoise filter applied using the JPG Strongest and DeBanding option with manual settings (i.e., increased the debanding filter size to 35 pixels).

Finally! The wait is over and it is time to unveil the first phase of Peninsula Hong Kong's massive HKD 450 million renovation project that will be fully completed in 2013. The first phase involved room enhancement project on the Peninsula Tower (Phillipe Starck's iconic Felix restaurant on the top floor remains untouched); while renovation on the original building will follow suit on the second phase.
I have waited with much anticipation from the beginning of this year to see the new contemporary look as I have never been a fan of Pen HK's classical design. I was pleasantly surprised to see the overall remodeling as it transformed the hotel so dramatically that I could hardly recognize it. Well, except for its bathroom, which sadly remained largely untouched.
While the new rooms are modern in design and has a harbour view to die for, the room itself is sadly very small and cramped for the price tag. At 42 m2, it is hard to call it spacious, in comparison to not only other top Hong Kong hotels with the same price category such as the Ritz-Carlton (50-65 m2), Landmark Mandarin Oriental's L600 Rooms (56 m2), and The Upper House (70-80 m2); but it is also considerably smaller than its other sister properties in Shanghai and Tokyo, which has a minimum area of 50 m2 and a wider frontage that allows for a separate dressing area.
What it lacks in space is compensated by the comfort value and technological offerings, which is undoubtedly unrivaled anywhere in the world. The Peninsula Hotels pioneered and revolutionized the hotel industry's in-room technology with the introduction of many unique features, such as a Nail Dryer, Outside Temperature Indicator, Internet Radio; but its sister properties in Tokyo and Shanghai took it to the next level by the introduction of the Spa Button and VOIP complimentary internet-based phone calls.
When it seemed that hotels could not innovate further, Peninsula Hong Kong took the world by storm with the introduction of a Samsung Galaxy touch-screen tablet device to control virtually everything in the room, from electric curtains to temperature and room lighting; right down to hotel services directory and in-room dining menus. It is virtually a paperless environment, previously unveiled by the Upper House in Hong Kong with the aid of Ipod device in each of its suites. Peninsula Hong Kong not only provides one tablet, but minimum three in each room that is paired with the VOIP enabled phone system.
The downside? As high-tech as it is, I wasted a good hour just to locate the non-existent of the wake up call function. Although everything is technically connected wirelessly, some functions seemed to jam and hang pretty quickly. I had to call the IT butler to fix the TV, and I eventually gave up in finding music tunes to work in the room. The quality of the VOIP phones was surprisingly lower in comparison to that of Peninsula in Shanghai; and it does not work on phone tree automated system. I finally gave up on the fifth VOIP trial calls to Cathay Pacific when they repeatedly asked me to "press one".
Additionally, the tablet system also enables guests to order room service and other housekeeping requests, such as more bottled water, newspaper, etc. I was exhausted that day and tried the function for some water, only to be kept waiting as obviously it did not work. Lucky I did not use it for the in-room dining as hunger would result in an anger eventually.
Service-wise, The Pen HK has never impressed me as based on my experience as all different departments consistently sending the same message and attitude to me: the lack of enthusiasm, the lack of care, the kind of snottiness you typically find in high end retail shops, and the pride of being on the top and successful that they could not be bothered by critics or feedbacks anymore. Sadly, the service has yet to improve this time around. The concierge and operator still had its high pitch voice when answering my calls for service; the Front Desk Staffs who escorted me to the room gave me a chilling look when I commented how small and cramped the room is; and quickly turned into a defensive and attacking mode by challenging me to upgrade to a Suite with the most irritating tone; and most staffs,-from concierge to staffs at Lobby Lounge and Felix-, appeared consistently tired and un-energetic as if they were forced to work double shifts with the same pay. Things are pretty different in comparison of how I was treated at my #1 perennial favourite hotel: The Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong. Although I am a "nobody", I was treated like a rock star there. At The Peninsula Hong Kong, I am simply a nobody. I can't help but thinking if the Pen could spend HKD 450 million on the hardware, surely they have the budget for the "software", i.e. better staff training and SOP enhancement. Perhaps, even SEP program (Snottiness Elimination Program) too?
The plus side? The bed is extremely comfortable; and the view is great too. But who needs 3 touch screen tablets that always seem to jam and hang to make a comfortable stay? For me, service is just as important. I love the feeling of being pampered and being taken care of. After many amazing ultra-luxury hotel stays this year, I can't help but missing the Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong. It is still by far, my favourite hotel of all time.

是啦，左邊的是全新 iPad (3Gen, 2012)。
全新 iPad 較 iPad 2 厚些，平放在一起仔細看就能看出區別。傳聞是 Sharp 不爭氣導致的（相關報道：http://unwire.hk/2012/05/08/apple-settled-for-plan-b-with-new-ipad/apple/）
I took this out on the streets yesterday. It was fun.

... Cette année la majorité des photos étaient dans la grande halle de Chaudronnerie, de l'ex-atelier SNCF qui faisait partie d'un groupe de bâtiments où on effectuait la réparation des locomotives... Aménagée pour l'occasion sa devanture a été modernisée par un grand vitrage et d'immenses modules aux formes modernes. De l'intérieure alors que le soleil étaient devant, une gigantesque silhouette se formait... J'ai eu l'idée de me faire photograhier ( à contre jour ). Le résultat me plaît beaucoup ...

I photographed this flower in the grounds of the Brassey of Canberra. I spoke to the gardener, and he is very proud and protective of the gardens - rightly so in my opinion. I thought that the bright sunlight would make it difficult to get good photos, but the light filtering through the standards and falls gives this shot a nice glow.
