Two landscapes from Toscana
#1

Something good about winter is that you have a lot of time to stay at home and work in your pictures... I have discovered some I hadn't work with from Toscana. Our trip was exactly a year ago, and still discovering pictures...

These two were taken with the FZ20, so I had some problems with colors and noise, as I didn't have enough time to practice before the trip...

A foggy morning in San Gimignano.

This is as well, San Gimignano but from another viewpoint, and it was taken in the afternoon...
I worked with the original and another jpg with different exposure with photomatix, afterwards I worked a bit morewith PS to get the colors and mood I wanted...

Excellent - beutiful color tones on #2 - and great mood on #1.

#1 works really well how it is - I also wonder how it would look without the foreground bush - more abstract I think. I often do multiple interpretations of the same shot - you might try it to see if you like it.

Either way - super work.

Petographer: I also like a lot this view of the ancient city, and the colors I got in this one...

Schell, unfortunately, I deleted a lot of my pictures from Toscana, all my pictures from the mediterranean sea Sad... They had foggy horizon and too much noise, and I thought they were wrong and I wouldn't be able to do anything useful with them... You can't imagine how much I have regreated to have done it ... Those days I was working with PSP and my knowledge about post processing was very limited, so.... Sad Sad Sad.....

We have to go again!! Big Grin

Now I am more careful about deleting pictures...

Toad, Thanks a lot for your advice... From this view I have one without bush I post processed long ago... and some others with a tree framing the landscape... I will try as you said to make more interpretations of this one... Smile

Thanks a lot for your comments Smile

Beautiful shots, Irma. Really love them.

I've always wanted to shoot one of those "layers upon layers" of hills and fog... it's really lovely.

The second pic has a really "old world" kind of feel and I really like the glow. Top stuff!
