The Last Gladiator: Colloseum!

5 years 5 months ago #613718 by Darwish
Visited the Colosseum today and managed to get some shots. First one is HDR using multiple exposures. Second image is a single exposure with tweaks in PS. Third one is a particularly interesting one ofa bird looking high as if it had just won a gladiator fight. The Last Gladiator!

All good comps, Darwish!

Did you try tonal taming instead of saturation?

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Thanks! No I haven’t but it’s quite strange that the tiff file on my computer, which I sent on my phone, shows a lot less saturation in the sky (specially the 2nd image), but I was surprised to see it oversaturated when I posted it on here!

Amazes me that this structure is something like 2000 years old!  Great photos, I really like the last photo with the bird the most.

I like the people in the first, for the scale....Well shot!
Note, this Coliseum out lasted the Astrodome by a few years (millenium), the former "Eighth wonder of the world".....Haha!

Why so serious?
