Night currents

Sony RX100M3, 24mm, 30s @ f/11, iso 80
This weekend (long weekend in Quebec) I was testing my French and the new Sony RX100M3. French was mediocre at best, but the camera - for a device that small - was actually pretty good.

The picture has been shot at the blue hour from the Pont N. It needed a bit of editing and noise reduction (thanks Dfine!), but the end effect is great.

Vacations' end

Fujifilm X100s, 1/5s @ f/16, iso 100
Got to the beach early to get some nice sunrise pics, but did not planned on this. Very nostalgic, given my winter escape is about to end very soon...

Railroad bridge

iPhone, auto with HDR
New country, new day, new start. On the morning jog the sights were so different from what I got used to in Chiang Mai.
For some reason, Sri Lanka reminds me of Poland 25 years ago. Very agricultural landscape. The picture above could be as well taken in my country. Feels very homy and very exotic at the same time!

Where's that carrot?

Fujifilm X100s, 550s @ f/5.6, iso 800
I visited the Chiang Mai Zoo this weekend. Pandas were adorable, but too far to get a good pic without a tele-lens. The rest was okay, but not that interesting - but it may be that the zoo lives another life in the wet season, when everything goes back to green.

So the catch of the day was a common goat.

Superman

Nikon D5100 35mm f/1.8, 1/40s @ f/5.6, iso 200
Do your job, and do it well. This little man on streets of Lima certainly didn't mind his physique, when advertising a restaurant in Superman's costume. And great job he did.

Chopsticks

Fujifilm X100s, 125s @ f/4.0, iso 1000
Something else entirely. Most (if not all) of my pictures are either landscapes, cityscapes or street photography. But sometimes everyday objects arranged carefully for display make a "landscape" you cannot miss with your camera.

And for the record: I love chopsticks. Bamboo chopsticks. Not those reusable plastic counterfeits. Seeing such a variety was a pleasure to the eye and a reminder of well deserved tom yum.

The Lonely Mountain

Nikon D5100 35mm f/1.8, 1/160s @ f/22, iso 100
Still in the "process all the photos!!" phase :)

You have to be very brave (or insane) to leave in a city with a volcano near by. And Arequipa has three! Granted, they are not active (right now) and they look amazing with their snowy peaks hoovering over the warmth of the city.

On the picture: Misty, the second highest (5822 m) of the three sisters. But the one most beautiful!

The picture was shot with no AE bracketing and it needed some heavy editing with Nik Collection to get all the details in the background pop.
