Firenze, Italia / Florence, Italy, seen from the Ponte alla Carraia.

As I remember it. Involving an hour or so of postwork - not to copy-paste maidens in the mist, dragons or two-headed centaurs, but to fix mundane things like white balance, lens distortion, noise and perspective. It was all there: the moon, the sky and Florence. Oh, and Jupiter, right below the moon. (Thanks for asking Staats!)

Shot on a 400 m's walking from

Thank you for featuring! :boogie:

Yes, maybe some post work involved, but now it has a feel of perfection - that I never have in my own images, as I never fix much in my images. I have a very "instantaneous" take on photography, and I should not be proud about it! :D

Oh, I don't know - I think it's good to be using both ways of working. I like to fiddle with a light meter and even with a tripod when there's a rare opportunity, it can be very educating, but I the best things happen in a split second and intuitively, and I don't want to lose my sense for spontaneity inasmuch as I have that.
Similarly, I enjoy it in postwork when there's really nothing that needs to be done (rarely happens :( ) and when I get a picture right after an hour or more of work. Oddly, the latter option feels more like an 'honest' job to me. :confused:
You're pictures look quite perfect to me. :)

Thanks, Eric. *SUDOR claims to be an "instantaneist". I will pretend to be the same: I shoot, and that's over. If not all was perfect, that's the way it is.

Sudor is incredibly prolific and talented... I'd love to have a big coffee table book with a lot of his work. :) But a lot of his pictures seem to have grown, for having been around for such a long time as well as from his photographic talent. So there's an element of duration and time even there. :)

No doubt. But I don't think that 30 or 40 years from now, today's street photographers will all have aged well.

Only the good wines grow old gracefully. Still, there's a place for good, bad and the average. :)
