Trani-4
One of the rewards of getting up in the middle of the night shooting a city is being able to scout a perfect location that will have a subject and composition for the sunrise using one of the many available phone tools for determining in which direction and when the sun will rise.
Captured here in the early light is the Castello di Trani or Castello Svevo the defensive fortress built by the Swabian Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II who dotted the Adriatic and Mediterranean coastline with defensive fortresses to protect his Sicilian empire, today it is a small museum and event location as well as the subject of many photo’s.
The castle is a design you would find in the Holy land as a Crusader fortress and itself was based on Roman castrum designs, the courtyard clock tower was added in a 19th century conversion to a prison which remained its function until the 1970’s when it was taken over to be used as a museum.
I took this on Sept 18, 2016 with my D750 and Nikon 24-85 f3.5-4.5 Lens at 52mm 1/25 sec f/9 ISO 200 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
