While I am still in France, I’m just crazy tired to edit anything today, from all the running around Lyon. So for today, here is a photo I took and edited last week. It’s one from my explorations of Amsterdam :)

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

I’m always to lazy to use the stairs, but the moment my goal is a photo, I immediately climb up to the tallest thing I can find :) And today is of course the same, when I visited the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière. I understood nothing from the guides explanations (as it was all in french), but at least I got a great view from the top :)

This is a single exposure, taken handheld, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Looks like the bad weather followed me from Amsterdam to Lyon, so it does not look that promising today. So for now, here is a photo I took yesterday evening, when I took a short walk around the center (I was just dead tired).

This is a single exposure, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop. Mostly I just removed the blurred people on the bridge :)

I relocated today from Amsterdam to Lyon in France, and wow is the temperature difference noticeable (15 degrees in Amsterdam, 30 in Lyon). But I’m right in the city center, so already know where I go for the sunset smile emoticon:)

And here, is a photo I took yesterday of this more colorful version of the I amsterdam sign. I presume this one is not a permanent one, and was only place here for the pride parade, that was few days ago. But what do I know.

This is a two shot panorama, which I took twice. One as a base, for most of the photo, and second one at ISO 6400 and a bigger aperture, to freeze the movement in the trees and the flag. I then blended them together in Photoshop.

The moment I seen this curvy path, I knew I want to use it in a composition. I wanted to have it to pull your eyes into the photo, towards this crazy looking hotel. I could not get higher, to get more of an overview of the path, so I did a vertorama, while having the camera right over the railing. So what do you think? Did it work?
