Cette rue est située dans le Marais, à 2 pas de la place des Vosges; j'ai pensé que ça pouvait être sympa de la photographier au 12 mm, j'aime bien les déformations que cela génère.

The Red Canyon is a splendid canyon, with red sandstone rising up 30 meters on both sides.
The canyon is part of the Shani river, it is narrow and winding, with tight chasms and high canyon walls. The dominant color is red, but sandstone in purples and whites also appears.
The Simone de Beauvoir pedestrian bridge, one of the access to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, or Bibliothèque François Mitterand. A nice sunset captured with the ultra wide angle lens.
Shot with the actioncam SJ7 Star from SJCAM.
This camera for under 200€ supports RAW and is a good replacement for carrying an unltrawideangle lens around.
An actioncam has not the best and biggest sensor or high quality optics but the ultrawideangle look that you can get is unbeaten for the weight, price and robustness. As many of them now also support RAW it has become my ultrawideangle lens replacement. In the narrow streets of cities a piece of gold in my pocket.

Please forgive the silly title. #2 of my mini series from maintanace work at the Olympiastadion Berlin; #1 is in the first comment.
The sliding part here is not only the selective colour. I had forgotten to activate the electronic level on my camera display when I had taken this bug's eye view shot and had relied on my eyes only to get a well aligned image. A big mistake, of course, because not only was the original image ever so slightly askew and off-center, but I had considerable wide-angle distortion in the background, the columns even looked a little fanned out. So I split the image in half in PS, foreground and background as different layers, and properly aligned each layer before I put them back together as one image.
One thing that I've learned by now about wide-angle shooting is: align and compose your image really carefully, take your time, it will spare you a lot of keystone correction work in post (and often a proper correction is impossible afterwards); unless you shoot deliberately at a dutch angle for a dramatic effect, of course.
I've also processed this photo as pure b&w, but I really liked the bright red colour dash of the cherry picker when I compared both final images. And I can already tell you as much: #3 in this series will be a selective colour image as well ;)
HSS, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!
Nr. 2 meiner kleinen "Einsame Arbeit am Olympiastadion"-Serie (Nr. 1 findet Ihr im 1. Kommentar). Ich habe hier zwei Versionen fertig bearbeitet, eine als pures SW und eben diese mit selektiver Farbe, die mir im direkten Vergleich besser gefallen hat. Selektive Farbe funktioniert mit Rot ja besonders gut (aber nicht nur), finde ich, und der Hubsteiger hier war so schön leuchtend rot lackiert, dass sich diese Bearbeitung gewissermaßen aufgedrängt hat. Viel mehr Arbeit musste ich tatsächlich in die nachträgliche Ausrichtung des Bildes stecken: Ich hatte damals ausgerechnet bei diesem Bild aus der Froschperspektive nicht daran gedacht, die elektronische Wasserwaage zu aktivieren – ein großer Fehler, denn die zwei, drei Aufnahmen sind alle ganz leicht verzogen und gerade so nicht perfekt mittig, außerdem hatte ich im Hintergrund auch wegen der leichten Ausrichtung der Kamera nach oben starke Weitwinkel-Verzerrungen (die Säulen wirkten fast aufgefächert), sodass hier u. a. PS aushelfen musste. Dort habe ich das Bild zweigeteilt, in Vorder- und Hintergrund, habe beide Teile korrekt ausgerichtet und danach wieder zusammengefügt. Mittlerweile ist das erste, was ich einschalte, wenn ich mit einem Weitwinkel unterwegs bin, die elektronische Wasserwaage. Man lernt (zum Glück) nie aus ;)
Habt einen schönen Rest-Sonntag (der hoffentlich bei Euch nicht so trübe ist wie hier in Berlin) und einen guten Wochenstart; liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 f/2 MFT
During the years of the Berlin Wall, Postdamer Platz, where this staircase is located, literally was a no-man's land, a void at the heart of Berlin, a desert where once had been the pulsating centre of the city. With the exception of the "Weinhaus Huth" and a few other ruins, the remaining buildings that had been spared by the bombs of WWII were, gradually, demolished - both on the East- and the West Berlin side of Potsdamer Platz. After the wall came down, Potsdamer Platz slowly came back to life, but it still took about 20 years before the first new buildings were finished.
Taken during a photowalk with Flickr friends natalie-photoart and broombesoom from North Rhine-Westphalia, and A_Peach and Sabine.R from Berlin. As so often, visitors see a city with different eyes than a local. I myself would probably have walked past the stairs (as so often before), but Natalie and Manuela found exactly this staircase interesting, which gave me the idea to take a photo there in the first place - so thank you (also) for that :-).
Potsdamer Platz, although long since revived, inhabited, re-built, crowded even, sometimes still gives you the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere which I guess is due to this certain artificiality the place exudes. And so, strangely enough, it was also difficult to find the exact location of the stairs on the map (although it wouldn't be a problem on the spot)...
In den Jahren der Berliner Mauer war der Potsdamer Platz, vor dem 2. Weltkrieg das pulsierende Herz Berlins, eine Einöde, eine wahrhaftige "Leerstelle" mitten in der geteilten Stadt. Bis auf das Weinhaus Huth stand 1989, dem Jahr des Mauerfalls, dort kein einziges Haus mehr. Und auch nach 1989 sollte es noch gut 20 Jahre dauern, bis die ersten Neubauten fertiggestellt worden waren.
Fotospaziergang mit natalie-photoart, broombesoom, A_Peach und Sabine.R. Wie so oft sieht man als Besucher einen Ort ja mit ganz anderen Augen als ein Einheimischer - und ich als Berlinerin wäre an dieser Treppe, wie schon so oft zuvor, vielleicht mal wieder einfach vorbeigelaufen, während Natalie und Manuela als Berlin-Besucherinnen gerade diese Treppe als spannendes Motiv erkannten - also Danke u.a. für diesen frischen Blick auf die eigene Stadt ;-)
Es war übrigens gar nicht so einfach, die Treppe auf der Karte wiederzufinden (vor Ort wäre es kein Problem) - der Potsdamer Platz, obwohl längst wieder belebt, durchgängig bebaut, ein beliebtes Touristenziel, fühlt sich manchmal nämlich immer noch wie ein Ort mitten im Nirgendwo an. Was evtl. auch der gewissen Künstlichkeit geschuldet ist, die diesem am Reißbrett entstandenen neuen Stadtviertel immer noch anhaftet.
Shot with the SJCAM SJ8 Pro actioncam. The EXIF data ist not present in the RAW image.

The canyon is part of the Shani river, it is narrow and winding, with tight chasms and high canyon walls. The dominant color is red, but sandstone in purples and whites also appears.
This very chaotic landscape of the Valle del Arcoiris is the result of the erosion that has carved this impressive canyon.
Taken at Burntcoat Head Provincial Park, which is located along the Bay of Fundy, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
This particular area of the Bay of Fundy receives the worlds highest tides!
Lots of photos for yall today...this should be the last one for the day though.
Taken at the public gardens in Grand Pre National Historic Site, in Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm F/2
It's been a while since I've uploaded anything but images for Macro Mondays, and since I also didn't really have time for taking my photo for this Monday's "Currency" MM theme, this is my substitute Monday upload: an image that I've taken of the small, but very "pretty in flashy pink" staircase at the Futurium that leads up to the so called "Skywalk", a panorama walk on the Futurium's roof that offers a very nice view across Berlin's government district (please see the first comment). I've taken this image with the tiny Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 mm ultra wide-angle lens that isn't quite as wide as the fabulous M.Zuiko 7-14mm, but is definitely capable of much, much nicer aperture stars.
"Kaleidoscoped" to bring out the fun pareidolia that is apparently hidden in that staircase – and seriously, have you ever seen such charmingly "angry" stairs? It would explain the pink "complexion", though ;)
Have a nice week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
The Soča (pronounced [ˈsoːtʃa] in Slovene) or Isonzo (pronounced [iˈzontso] in Italian) (other names Friulian: Lusinç, archaic German: Sontig, Latin: Aesontius or Isontius[2]) is a 138-kilometre (86 mi) long river that flows through western Slovenia (96 kilometres or 60 miles) and northeastern Italy (43 kilometres or 27 miles).[3]
An Alpine river in character, its source lies in the Trenta Valley in the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia, at an elevation of 876 metres (2,874 ft).[3] The river runs past the towns of Bovec, Kobarid, Tolmin, Kanal ob Soči, Nova Gorica (where it is crossed by the Solkan Bridge), and Gorizia, entering the Adriatic Sea close to the town of Monfalcone. It has a nival-pluvial regime in its upper course and pluvial-nival in its lower course.[4]
Prior to the First World War the river formed part of the border between Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and during that conflict was the scene of bitter fighting between the two countries, culminating in the Battle of Caporetto in 1917.
Due to its emerald-green water, the river is marketed as "The Emerald Beauty." It is said to be one of the rare rivers in the world that retain such a colour throughout their length.[8] Giuseppe Ungaretti, one of the greatest Italian poets, describes the Isonzo in the poem "The Rivers."
The Soča inspired the poet Simon Gregorčič to write his best-known poem Soči (To the Soča), one of the masterpieces of Slovene poetry. This region served as a location for the 2008 Disney film Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.[9]
The Soča is also well known for its unique trout species Salmo marmoratus (known as the marble trout), which lives in the upper course of the crystal-clear river. This species is endangered due to the introduction of other non-indigenous trout species sometime between World War I and World War II.
