"Reflections Of The Day, Italian Style"

Arno Sunset

After a day of walking the city and visiting the famous Uffizi Museum for most of the day we grabbed a glass of Prosecco wine - it's sort of like "everyman" campaign - quite tasty and refreshing. Then is was back across the Arno River to find a restaurant and relax.  Our timing was perfect - the sun was just setting across the water.  I spent the next several minutes "working" the scene from lots of different angles.  This image was one of my favorites - and again, a straight out-of-the-camera HDR image.

The cloud structure, rich red and blue colors of the sky, textures of the building on the opposite shore, the tour boats going down the river, and the reflections in the water gave me a picture postcard image I'll look forward to making into wall decor once we arrive home.

Camera specs: Canon 5D Mark III fitted with Sigma 12-24mm lens at 20mm, F5.6 at 1/20 second, ISO 2500. Enjoy!  -David
