No kidding, this was the neighborhood grocery store where we were staying at in Bordeaux. If this was my local grocery store, I don’t think I would ever keep anything in the pantry at home. I would visit it everyday, shoot some photos, and grab a piece of fruit and coffee on my way to work. In the evening, this hub of commerce flashed back to the days of the Salon when the local youth would come out to enjoy the surrounding cafes and discuss the day’s topics. It was the heart of the neighborhood, and just the down the street from our hotel.
Travel Guides: When I get back from visiting a town, I try to put together a quick travel guide that usually includes a map of photo locations and a quick list of things to do, places to eat, and where to stay. You can find all my travel guides, including the Unofficial Definitive Guide to Cozumel, over here:

I hope to be publishing my guide to France very soon. Stay tuned!

Processing Notes:
I have forgotten what the exact details of the post-processing were, but it was a 9 image (@ 1ev) –> HDR/ToneMapped in Photomatix 4 (I think??) –> and to get the dreamy quality I use Nik Color Efex Pro’s Glamour Glow filter mixed in about 30%.
Sorry for the lack of details.
This is very nicely composed, Justin. I love the processing, just enough Glamour Glow. I really have to learn to be subtle with HDR processing. A terrific image indeed.
Thanks Peter. Yeah, I have learned less is more. I will have some new free videos coming out that focus on that. I think they might help.
