Photogenic Italy – A Tuscan Doorway

Here’s a photograph I took from my summer trip to Tuscany to help brighten up those winter blues a little.  It’s not the photograph displayed next to this entry if you have come to the home page of BlogfromItaly.com, just in case you were wondering.

Hope you like it. For the technically minded, it was shot in RAW and then processed into .jpg via the interesting DxO Optics Pro 6 RAW processing program.  The camera was a Canon Eos 40d.

I’m quite happy with the end result.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

SEE HOW IT WORKS

I have other images lurking on my hard drive, and some should find their way here, or to my Flickr account.

Photography is a hobby of mine which I don’t have enough time to dedicate to, alas.

Long live digital cameras!
