Title: Sunset in Riomaggiore, le Cinque Terre
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on February 08, 2017, 11:12:03 am
Back from Death Valley, while I am processing the hundreds of images gotten during my Workshops there I thought I'd post a little sunset study from Riomaggiore, in le Cinque Terre:

I very much like it but an infilling of the burnt out sun would make it a very fine image.

Very different from DV but so beautifully done!

Thank you stamper! I actually tried when first processing the image, but it looked fake... Generally speaking, I completely agree with you that burned highlights are to be avoided - except in situations like this, when shooting into the sun; since it is clear that there is the sun there, and since even with the naked eye, one cannot look at it without burning... one's retina! :)
