A trip through Snapseed has given this image of a Cuban flag in a bookshop a scratchy, grungy look. Fun to do on the iPad.

Paris Metro Entertainment
The buskers take their work very seriously in Paris, where we saw and heard some awesome performances, almost entirely on the metro and RER.
Balancing light
Using HDR to balance the extreme range of light between an outside scene and what makes it inside can result in some pleasing images. pictures you can’t capture easily any other way.
The Louvre HDR Daylight
Many HDR images are shot at night, but this one was shot during the early morning. The combination of multiple images and tweaking in post – then getting rid of a few distractions – has created an image which isn’t real, but it is recognisable.
Louis IVX
I liked the drama of the clouds in this extreme wide-angle shot at the Palace of Versailles, but it needed a kick in post to make it really dramatic.
Moulin Rouge
A six second exposure was used to capture this image of the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
The long exposure was needed to blur the sails of the windmill on top of the building. Taillights are visible from traffic, but the cars themselves didn’t stay still long enough to record.
Eiffel Tower HDR
My continuing experiments with HDR. Three frames with a huge difference in their original exposures. Processed in PhotoShop CS6.
