Description -[]-[eng]--------------------------------------------------------
A bright morning in the city center of the eternal city...

I was thinking of making it a bit towards monochrome (maybe sepia-like), what do you think?

Used all my current stuff, C-PL + UV + Wide converter

-[]-[ita]--------------------------------------------------------
Una mattinata luminosa nel centro della cittΓ  eterna...

Stavo pensando di farla un po' piΓΉ monocromatica (magari tipo effetto "seppia"), che ne pensate?

Ho usato tutto il mio equipaggiamento attuale, C-PL + UV + convertitore grandangolare

Edited monochrome shot here [link]

[Mid-exposed shot settings:]
Camera: Fujifilm Finepix S5600
Shutter speed: 1/40 s
Aperture: F/8
Focal length: 6 mm
ISO speed: 64

[Post-work: ] HDRI + colour balance + local contrast enhancement
[Software used: ] Adobe Photoshop CS2 + Photomatix Tone Mapping plugin

Nice HDR. I have been trying to get a decent HDR shot but I am not happy with my attempts thus far. You pulled it off nicely here. I also like navigator7879's edit.

I like Brend's version a lot too, I think this one has a bit of monochrome mood inside!

I'm really happy to hear that!!
Normally I don't like straight photos of buildings too, nor monuments photography (I think they lack meaning and personal interpretation is often hard to find), but the sky asked for it!

Bella, mi piace in modo particolare che l'HDR non sia estremizzato qui...peccato per quel tubo per i lavori nella parte bassa, ma Γ¨ un gran bello scatto comunque...complimenti!

ZephonSoul In reply to mave8080 [2006-12-30 20:51:01 +0000 UTC]

Ehehe, maledetto il tubo, hai proprio ragione! Avrei potuto tentare un qualche magheggio per cancellarlo, ma ho preferito evitare per dovere al realismo!
Grazie mille dei complimenti! In questo periodo mi piace usare l'HDR per conseguire risultati realistici!

This is a sight for sore eyes. It's so rich and looks so beautiful. There is a mix of old and new. I can't imagine all the stories behind this place. I see a church and and what is that on the top of the hill?

ZephonSoul In reply to Kjherstin [2006-12-30 16:18:46 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for the nice words and appreciation!
On the top of the hill (actually the Capitoline Hill) you can see the so called "Palazzo Senatorio", home to the Capitoline Museums.

Yep, Rome is a very good place for photos! (ask japanese guys, always around monuments with giant cameras shooting in auto mode with flash by night! )

Ah the Japanese have a great eye for art. They see what most of us take for granted. Funny how they are famous for this.

Sorry if I have not comment on your recent pictures.. I've been and will for a long time, really busy, so I'm trying my best to comment, but I am always watching.

So this comment is for all the pictures I did no comment...
The clarity of your pictures is incredible. You've become a pro HDRI!
I like your recent pictures a lot because it is different. You experiment (I think.. correct me if not) and every picture is different in his own way. I think you already know, I love your work.
