Late afternoonLighting
The original photo is much lighter and shows a great deal of detail outside the arch. I altered the light to see beyond the arch and saw the beautiful lamp.. It just had to be darkened to show the scene beyond. The tones were wrong so I changed it to B&W.Equipment
FinePix s8000fd, aperture 2.8,ISO 200, exposure10/600. Hand held, had my strap around my wrist to help hold it steady.Inspiration
It just drew me in :) the buildings in Italy are stunning! Eye candy everywhere you look ...Editing
I just use Microsoft Photo Gallery. Used the B&W feature then balanced the exposure so the lantern looked it's best!In my camera bag
Only two cameras. We were traveling on holiday.Feedback
Play around with the light and balance of a good shot (clear and well lit) try B&W you never know what you might find...
