Cold but sunny in Siena

An old photo from my travels that I liked.

 

The composition is relatively simple but the warm colors around a section of Piazza del Campo, accentuated by the sun against a deep blue sky looked rather pleasing to me.

 

As it was rather chilly, being winter, the people were seen basking in the sun's cosy rays in their coats. The scene gave the impression of warmth but I was there and remembered the chill.

 

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this was a most lovely spot on this chilly wintry day.

 

Shot with my old trusty D60 with kit lens, unfortunately in JPEG only.

 

Interestingly, the colors on this antiquated D60 looked way better than those from my D7000 which frankly was terrible. Many have attributed this to the CCD sensor on the D60.

 

No polariser was used because back then, I didn't even know what the polariser was for!

 

Re-do with my latest post processing workflow, JPEG of one of the earliest photos I posted on Flickr, 4 years ago.
