Trieste some 20 years ago was in a very bad condition! Well done to show us the regeneration!

Thank you for showing me some beauty to be found in architecture and cities. Guess I didn't realize there was anything to miss by staying in my mountains.

This is a fantastic photo. Colors and everything so natural and beautiful. Love how it's so perfect with what appears to be little post processing :)

Location
This was captured in Trieste, Italy along the Grand Canal.Time
This was taken around an hour or two before sunset. The lighting was beginning to turn to golden hour which made for amazing colors on the buildings.Lighting
The lighting at this time of day and still waters were perfect for amazing reflections. The golden rays along the buildings made for a special moment in time.Equipment
This was handheld with a Canon 5D Mark III with a Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens. No flash was used in this shot.Inspiration
This was taken during a moment while exploring the amazing Grand Canal in Trieste. I was walking and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw the amazing reflections on the still water of the canal. The clouds looked like little cotton balls and made for a unique capture. Thankful for an amazing day in Trieste.Editing
The post processing is relatively light with a reduction of the highlights and an increase in the shadows. I did an adjustment for color temperature and minor adjustments for exposure.In my camera bag
Canon 5D Mark IV; Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L; Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L; Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L; Sigma 50mm f/1.4; Canon 2x Extender III; Canon 24-105mm f/4 L; Canon 100mm f/2.8 LFeedback
My advice for others trying to capture these types of moments is that you need to always be looking at everything around you as you are walking and be willing to stop to capture those things that move you because the will likely move others as well. Take your time. This was taken in a matter of a few seconds from seeing the lighting and reflections but even though I had somewhere to be a moment to stop brings back a memory that will last a lifetime.
