Description -[]-[eng]--------------------------------------------------------
A shot taken in a small village near the mountains. The place was really peaceful: there were few people walking and a little girl playing in the main square... no other signs of life!

HDR used here to enhance contrasts and light smoothing, no further editing.

-[]-[ita]--------------------------------------------------------
Uno scatto catturato in un piccolo paesello vicino alle montagne. Il posto era veramente calmo e silenzioso: c'erano poche persone che passeggiavano e una bambina che giocava nella piazzetta principale... nessun altro segno di vita!

Ho usato l'HDR per incrementare il contrasto e la distribuzione della luce, nessun ulteriore modifica.

This is so beautiful. I love these beautiful little culture finds. I love how even though it is an alley and seeming to be so small, there is light shining and making the wood shudders and red flowers so vibrant.

I you for this. Thanks

Thanks a lot! Many guy told me about the "italian look" of this piece, and thus I realized that I'm talking to people from all around the world, and things that are "common" to me have a "foreign look" for others!

Questa foto mi piace tantissimo! La composizione, e la luce sono davvero belli. Uno dei migliori esempi su come sfruttare l'HDR senza esagerare

Grazie davvero! E' quello che ho provato a fare, anche se la tentazione con gli HDR di strafare Γ¨ sempre forte!

Grazie ancora e scusami per il ritardo nel risponderti!

Great use of HDR. Do you combine the pictures in PS or use another program?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ZephonSoul In reply to brettspics [2007-02-07 19:50:01 +0000 UTC]

I do use both PS and Photomatix. It depends... I'd prefer to use only PS (with the Photomatix Tone Mapping plugin), but sometimes the merging or the tone mapping fails, so I have to rely on Photomatix. Some other times is Photomatix which screws up, so it's all a matter of which one works better with the specific HDR.

Thanks for the appreciation!
