Autumn in Paris
Autumn is the season of Indian Summer; a period of unseasonably warm and dry weather. But not only in the United States or Canada , as the term may indicate. Also in Paris! However in French one would rather speak of d’été de Vireux or d’été de la Saint-Martin. The later obviously refers to St. Martin's Day which is held in the middle of autumn; 11th November. 
 
In Quebec, Canada, one would say in the old days été des sauvages. But this has become obsolete.

<i>Technical stuff</i>
Oké, here's the deal:
1.Searching for a good spot on the Arc de Triomphe
2. Waiting for the right lighting conditions

4. Still waiting
5. Finally seeing the lighting conditions develop in the right direction
6. Deciding to take the shot
7. Taking several HDR series of 3xp: -2,0,+2 and handheld but leaning on a instable fence ;-) 
8. First check on the camera's LCD screen
9. Being pleased with the result
10. Downloading the HDR series on my computer
11. Using Adobe Bridge CC to determine the winning series
12. Starting-up Photomatix 5.05a (64Bit)
13. Dropping the winning series in Photomatix
14. Developing the HDR by fiddling with the settings in:
- Automatic image alignment of hand-held shots
- Selective deghosting tool for effective removal of &quot;ghosts&quot; in dynamic scenes
- Option for automatic reduction of chromatic aberrations
- Details Enhancer: Strength, Color Saturation, Luminosity, Detail Contrast, Lighting Adjustments, Smooth Highlights, Gamma, Black and White Points, Color Temperature, Saturation Highlights, Saturation Shadows, Micro-smoothing, Shadows Smoothness and Shadows Clipping. 
- Tone Compressor: Brightness, Tonal Range Compression, Contrast Adaptation, Black and White Point, Color Temperature and Color Saturation.
