…e che importa se e` il freddo e nebbioso mare della Contea di Durham?

I have added a new gallery, City bits. Please enjoy (responsibly).
Please also note this new website address. Hopefully this is going to stay for long.
Most of us, most of the times, thinking of photography, think of taking pictures rather than making.
It’s true for me, too.
At times, however, I have an idea in mind and I need to create it in order to shoot it. The following is an example. Besides the usual difficulties of light and exposure, I had to figure out what lens and what perspective would match the vision I had in mind. I confess it was not easy, and the end result, that however I like, is not like the image I had in mind.
On iStock the English version is available too.
Sometimes, shooting in RAW pays back, especially if we are playing with our new digital toy, and have a long learning way ahead.
This picture is over two years old. When I shot it, I used one of the crappiest Nikon lenses (the 35-135 AF zoom, now sold) and I was not into subtle retouching at all.
I am publishing it now, because I feel I finally managed to correct its lack of sharpness (that you cannot see, anyhow, in this small file size) and micro-contrast. Also, because I feel it represents at the best my feelings for London.
Also available on iStock.
I have created a new photographic gallery here on Shade of Light. It is the first gallery where I can break free from the previous limitations due to wordpress.com
This gallery (”Regno Vegetale“) is dedicated to those few times that flowers and plants have attracted my imagination more than sea has.
Ombrelloni? No! Excavators? Yes. Folkestone beach.
As long as the sea is visible, even these trucks can look beautiful.
Not that I would buy one myself, but I’d love to see it used!
…to see Canary Wharf from within this “frame”:
That is, the Naval College musem in Greenwich.
Available on iStock, too.
…and they know how to care for their vegetation.
This is their effort:
And this is some result:
Last September I went to Maritime Greenwich to test my new Bronica SQ-A. The film back had some light-leaks, but I did not know it yet. Both the following pictures were mildly affected.
These baguettes were sold by Flour Power, my favourite bakery in London. Highly recommended.
