Pictured top is the picturesque village of Colletta, a few miles inland from the Italian Riviera. The medieval village was in ruins by the mid 20th century but has been completely restored in recent years.
Both shots above are HDR compositions of 3 shots + and - 2 stops in RAW. All taken with my little Canon S90 mounted on a gorillapod.

Oh yes, Gaz. Welcome to Blogland. Having seen some of your photos I'm really looking forward to further postings on this blog. It'll be good to see places you've been as well.
ReplyDeleteI did wonder why you used a small format for the blog but I realise that you have used larger images which can b seen full-screen if clicked upon.
Hello, Gaz. I am a friend to your father and have found you through his latest post. Glad that you've entered into our blogging world - your photos are amazing! Beautiful, absolutely.
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with the HDR process, not from experience but from that of another blog friend, Dan Felstead. He's shared the technique in a few postings of the past...it's much more patience than I seem to have :)
Welcome.
I will follow and most likely leave my footprints each time I visit.
Oh, and if you'd like to visit Dan, you can find him at Wood and Pixels Narratives.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogland, Gaz. I clearly remember the photo your father posted of the white cottages and, after seeing your first post, am looking forward to much more of your photography. Hope your ankle heals quickly but not before you share more of your photos!
ReplyDeleteI really like your first image. I am an HDR fan as long as it is subtle, my only criticism of photomatix is that it tends to produce soft images. I have tried heavy sharpening but that tends to produce halos.
ReplyDeleteHi, another curious follower of your dad's blogs (and you uncle's) turning up to check yours out... Liking what I see! Fantastic view of that village, and I love gates and portals. You Edwards boys do seem to have photography in the genes...!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland - looking forward to your postings.
ReplyDeleteHello Gareth,
ReplyDeleteI don't blog (too lazy) but I really do enjoy both Graham and John's Blogs. Looking forward to seeing some more of your pictures.
It was lovely to see you last week - hope the ankle gets better soon.
Love Pat x
Hi Gareth.
ReplyDeletePopped over from Adrian's blog.
Love the rich colours and look forward to future gems.
Thanks for the comments everyone. Looking forward to checking out your blogs and hope you enjoy my pics in the future.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are gorgeous! Postcard photos! Can't wait to see more from your travels!
ReplyDeleteAmazing HDRs. I've been trying some myself lately on my blog. Love them both.
