At 7am, through the Baroque shadows in the Piazza del Duomo in Catania, Sicily, the sun is already high and hot.

Funny — despite all the shadow in this image, it *looks* hot!
I love playing with shooting toward the Sun and capturing silhouettes; it’s a fun visual effect.
Just curious: did you darken the lens flare at the right of the image in post-production? Or is that how your camera’s flares usually appear?
Hmm, I was under-exposing quite a lot, so I think the flare is dark for that reason. I considered darkening it in post, but I like it there, having a shape in that big dark space.
Yes — I like it there, too! I’m actually a fan of a well-placed lens flare, used in moderation.
I wonder if this is what it might ( feel like)… look like to be the last human on the planet?……..Walking alone under the stares of buildings … statues and birds…..interesting how the street light appears lit…..texture exposed…..Nice work………
