Spring in Tuscany

by GIULIO57

Place Val d’Orcia close to San Quirico towards Chianciano. Lens: Pentax Zoom 12-24mm. Deep colours and lights captured my attention. This is a lovely place in spring in special way when light is hazy due to cold winds coming from North, like in that moment. Camera on tripod and HDR capture matching together 5 different pics.

Gorgeous light and colours, Giulio. What subtle use of HDR, I'd never have guessed!
Best wishes,

Andrew

BETTER THAN THE EYE CAN SEE!

This is the kind of colours they show in films...a photographer's dream!

Great patience has gone into producing this image, and the 14 bits "rich tonal gradations" of K20D could not have been produced to any better effect... Very well done, and very nicely taken. Cheerio!
