Lake Five Dock Sunrise by davidmarxphoto by davidmarxphoto
The swim dock on Lake Five in West Glacier, Montana glows at sunrise.
This image is my first experiment with the new Dehaze feature in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015. This new feature was just released yesterday.
My first impression is that this new tool changes the image’s contrast, saturation, and white balance as you add or remove atmospheric haze. I cannot say that I am as impressed with this new feature as I am with the introduction of HDR and Panorama in the initial Lightroom CC release a few weeks ago. But the results that you see here are pretty darn amazing when compared to my original foggy flat gray image.
Information on Lightroom CC 2015’s new Dehaze feature is just beginning to trickle out. So far the best description that I have seen of this and all of the new features in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 release are at http://adobe.ly/1KXTy4x
I will post a more detailed video tutorial on Dehaze once I have had a chance to try it on a wider range of images.

DIE HANDELSKAMMER BREMEN. by magdaindigo by magdaindigo
Tour of Europe 04 2016
Day 8
The Schütting, the history: in 1538, the merchants of Bremen charged the Flemish mason and architect Johann den Buschener from Antwerp, who constructed a new building in 1538/39.
Buschener only completed the stepped western gable, which is on the borderline of Late Gothic and of Renaissance style, and the main entrance, which was not yet central.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the façade was altered several times: In 1756, Theophilus Freese removed the decentral entrance by a decent central one and reduced the number of horizontal cornices, thus changing the style to a modest kind of Baroque.
In mid 19th century the line of low shops in front of the basement was removed, and for the first time a twin staircase to the entrance door was built.
In Wilhelminism, people disliked the noble modesty of the building. In 1895 to 1899, the number of corniches was raised and above the windows relief ornaments were placed. The present bombastic portal was constructed.
Above the door, a Low German inscription was added, lately invented by Bremen’s mayor Otto Gildemeister
buten un binnen
wagen un winnen
(literally “Outside and in, risk it and win”) was added as a motto, meaning that merchants from Bremen are called upon to risk their assets at home and abroad in order to gain fortune.
The building with its magnificent interior and its valuable furnishings burnt to the ground on 6 October 1944. Reconstruction was completed in 1956. Except for the dormers on the façade overlooking the market square, the exterior was rebuilt, as it had been since 1899, while the interior was reconfigured.
In 1951, the chamber of commerce moved into the ground floor. The second stage of the reconstruction took place over the next five years, including the second floor interior. In 2009, the faҫade and copper-covered roof were repaired and the dormers were rebuilt.
