Italocam Posted August 15, 2007 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) This lady waits patiently for her turn. Romans are pros at drinking from the street fountains. The water is some of the best in Europe coming from underground springs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Hi Italocam, Take a look here Rome in B&W. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted August 16, 2007 Share #2 Posted August 16, 2007 Unfortunately, not all their visitors are so courteous. I was waiting for a fountain in Rome, when a group of non-Italians just came a long and jumped the queue right in front of me. No "excuse me", nor "sorry" or anything. Looks like the Campo dei Fiori to me. The woman does look like she's a bit impatient with the man with the grapes. This works very well in B&W, but have you got an colour ones as well? The tap water in Rome is delicious, btw, unlike the stuff in London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_livsey Posted August 16, 2007 Share #3 Posted August 16, 2007 Great shot. Couldn't find a better crop Tonal range very impressive- much work needed post to get this ? I am struggling to get a monochrome "look" I am happy with. ChrisL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italocam Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted August 16, 2007 I just use the basic PhotoShop tools like Shadow/Highlights, Exposure/Offset and Gamma. Sometimes I also add a little of Black from Filters.Good Luck. Italo C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 16, 2007 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2007 Italo - The tonal range, tonal gradations, contrast and clarity make this spectacular. About 15 years ago, while waiting in a Roman bank to exchange money the queue continued to become more and more amorphous, and more people began to cut in front of me. I finally had enough and said very loudly to the last person who cut in front of me, “I know he can understand English and from my accent you can guess that I am American. Then you know from our television and cinema that most of us are violent and most of us carry guns. What you might not know is that we do not like people cutting ahead of us in queues.” Three people in front of me sheepishly moved behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italocam Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted August 16, 2007 Have you ever seen a line in Greece? I am almost run over by old lady with a cane in Athens as she cut in front of me getting on a bus.Italo C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
