Restoring Equilibrium

The spirit of creativity had left me lingering after my immersion into the Italy culture and countryside. This, by the way, was not due to Italy itself, but to the lack of trying to capture my experiences visually. I felt that I had not accomplished what I wanted. I have been trying to overcome the aftermath of this failure to feel fulfillment in the Italian adventure in my prints, and I believe I may be on my way to shaking this ghost.

Many time during the Italy vacation I used my iPhone SE simply because it was near at hand and less cumbersome than my SLR camera. I must say that compositionally and spirit-wise the iPhone SE captured the moment better than the SLR.

The currently post photo of a night street scene in Rome is an example of capturing the Italian moment, as it were. The shot was taken with an Apple iPhone SE, post processed with DxO Optics Pro 11, Adobe camera Raw, Photoshop CC, a Gradient Map and a PS filter Diffusion Glow.
