Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, Perugia
The lighting in here proved challenging from a technical perspective. Not only was it fairly dim so I had to boost the ISO to get a handheld three-exposure burst, but the tungsten yellow clashed with the natural daylight coming in through the windows. Added to that is the warm yellow and gold tones in the decoration, meaning that it was impossible to get the light neutrally balanced. So instead I went with the warm tones and decided to bring out the gold in the scene with some light colour balancing and filters, then a combination of tonal contrast and glamour glow in Nik Color Efex Pro to give the light and details an interesting look. Cropped 8 x 10 to take out some distracting movement from people on the edges of the frame.
