Rue Prince Arthur in Montreal. Nice buildings and restaurants.

Shot with the X100S for HDR using ISO bracketing. I blended the 3 images in Photomatix and tonemapped them using Details Enhancer. Then post-processed in PS, but the colors were dull, as the day was a dull day. So, I put the image in Nik Silver Efex and played with the sliders.

The awesome interior of the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal.

I managed to find a little ledge where to put my Fuji X100S on a Gorilla tripod and shot a 2.3 second with ISO bracketing. I really like ISO bracketing for HDR. I only get -1, 0, +1, but not having to align the images is a big plus.

The Market in Honda

Honda is a city in Colombia, about 2 hours from Bogota, on the banks of the largest river, the Magdalena. Back in the day it was an important port when goods came from the coast up the river. Now, the town is coming back as a vacation spot for people from Bogota.

Medellin, Republican Architecture

Medellin has lots of interesting houses from the early 1900s. Lots of forged iron doors and windows to keep the bad guys out. More info http://bit.ly/18zOXoi

One of the cool buses you see on the road in Colombia.

Shot from our car while passing it, holding the camera out the window and shooting without looking.

Salento Church, Quindio, Colombia

Salento Church, Quindio, Colombia, a photo by szeke on Flickr. The church in the main square in Salento, Colombia. Salento is a small town, so it has a small-town chruch. It is pretty neat, though. Handheld show using my Fuji X100S, using ISO-bracketing at 6,400 ISO, producing 3 different exposures that Photomatix handles really well.
