Pretty overcast sky with this tree, the streelights and the tip of the Lincoln Financial Building in the background all in lovely morning silhouettes, on Sunday, March 24, 2019.

I took our first real snowstorm last evening, looking down our street from my front porch. I marveled at the light thrown out by the streetlights, puffing out my chest a bit. In the late '90s as my boys approached driving age, I worked with our neighbors and a late, great Township official to get these put in. We were a dead-end then (cul-de-sac for you realtors!) with 22 homes on the block. I needed a majority to sign the petition for approval. 20/22 signed it, the only two that didn't weren't home. Since then, the lights are now LED and throw out such brilliant light. Here's to the memory of my friend, Dennis, our Township Trustee who brought this project home.
Dear friends, you might have noticed that I have been off for quite a while. I have been lacking every extra energy apart from my work and family life. My work has been especially demanding: it always is peak time nowadays. I feel like a squeezed lemon. However, I am trying to post some shots from our recent visit to the beautiful city of Matera
Darling Laura and I have recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, which prompted us to take a brief holiday, if not a second honeymoon. We visited Matera, a beautiful, ancient, unique city in Southern Italy where the presence of man and nature blend together in a deep, unique way. Even more than the beauty and charm of the place, this was especially fit for us, who have been blending together for the last 30 years, all inclusive.
Matera was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and a European Capital of culture for 2019, and I cannot afford to even start telling a broad story of the city: a story of struggle and misery, in a region with both harsh summers and winters, where a thin layer of land covers a wide plateau of limestone and water is more valuable than gold. The history of a tough people who carved their homes out of calcarenite, the local limestone. The history of a people who was able to set up the widest and most complex hydraulic system for the collection and preservation of water without any help from architects or engineers - just to cling to the place they belonged to. Other than looking at my photos (wink), your best option is to visit the city and plunge in its little, quiet, fascinating world ;-)
Since it was kind of a honeymoon, I decided to leave most of my photographic equipment at home, bringing with me only my camera and some spare batteries. I didn't want to waste any of that precious time by taking photographs seriously. However, I could not resist the urge to capture a materan sunrise - Laura was still soundly asleep when I hurried towards the Sassi after all... I shot my exposure bracketings by placing my camera on some wall or railing and shooting with 1 second shutter delay. Not the optimal setting, but I needed to get it a try. This was my only tentative sunrise session in Matera, being the last day there, and I tried hard to squeeze every juice it could offer. This is the first bracketing I took on that morning, as the dark tendrils of the night were still meandering through the streets of the Sasso barisano, some streetlights still on... one of those magic moments on the uncertain boundary between night and day, like a quiet changing of the guard heralding the beginning of a new day - of a new present for us to live. I hope that this Materan dawn can pluck some strings deep within your souls - which is the highest prize I can wish for my photos.

I have processed this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks with the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal" exposure shot).
Along the journey - post-processing always is a journey of discovery to me - I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic to give a slight tonal boost to the sky.
As usual, I gave the finishing touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4 and played a bit with dodging and burning.
Raw files processed with Darktable.
Snow is melting and moisture hangs in the air. Fog dampens sight and sound and everything feels underexposed.

Looking along in front of the cafes on Bruntsfield Place, past the bus shelter, on a miserable, rainy evening. Despite the weather I still paused for a quick pic because I can't resist the way the wet pavements and roads glisten against the streelights.

Sorry for another re-posting; I'm slammed at the minute and have no opportunities to go out and get new shots. So I'm reduced to trawling my old photos for something to share and to scratch that itch.
=========
A Neopolitan night; what I wouldn't give to go back on holiday. Still, this is why we take photos, no? To remember?
This memory nearly got last too - damn memory card stopped working. I didn't know until we got back to the UK whether I had lost a half days worth of photos or not.
Till next time Europe.
A bit of minimalism, on the streets of Rome, Italy.
Black and white, shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
Ten minute exposure an hour after sunset today, as the thick fog slowly cleared from the Aquadrome. The fog lingered in the trees, backlit by London's no shortage of sodium streetlights, whilst the bright moon rose high enough to bathe the foreground grass in a soft pearl light. I was startled by the colours on the LCD when it had finished "cooking" - I had been stood in near darkness.
I set the WB to "shade" to bring out the warmth, cropped, rotated and applied some noise reduction in Lightroom 3 to reduce the grain from the ten minute exposure.
My £19 cable release remains the best piece of kit I have. Long exposures keep surprising me with their interpretation of nighttime scenes. This one was particularly bizarre as the colours match the harsh sunset backlight of www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5090587003/, but the scene itself couldn't have looked more different. Early winter nights couldn't have come at a better time.
Hope everyone else is having a great week too.
Sunsets over Melbourne with the CBD in the background basking in the glorious light. Working outdoors in winter is often dramatic.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.
