I don't do much landscapes, is not what I like most among photography's sectors. But, this time, I had to.
You know, carnival, Venice, good food. I couldn't avoid to take photo of nature.
Usually I love fog, and Venice is AMAZING in these days (It's amazing with or without fog, it's amazing also in agust, september, march.. always). But I don't have so much experience in landscape.
So, I need your critiques. Any suggestion? What do you think? I tried to add a little bit of drama in postproduction..
Thanks!
Hello Matteo,
Thanks for sharing here. My first comment is to shoot and share more of Venecia whenever you can. I guess I'll expand that to all of northern Italia as well! I'm not sure I would consider these shots landscapes but rather very unique cityscapes. I find the compositions you have shared very strong and I don't have any meaningful critique, Your post processing choices seem to enhance the intent of the images. I've been to Venecia twice and feel like I'm back there when looking at these images. Your images done with a short exposure capture the water texture....I've seen photographers choose long exposures to blur the water to get more surreal images. I like both. On a foggy day with not much sky interest like you shot for these images having the water texture adds to the images IMHO. Well done. Congrats!

Thank a lot Michael! I appreciated! Yes I was looking for texture, fog makes already a diffusion blur by itself, I used it at my advantage. I'm glad you liked the final results! =)
I'll try to keep shooting in Venice as much as I can, it's a promise!
Thanks again,
Matteo
