PhD

This shot was taken and thought with the help by a colleague Daniele Russo (he is the man in the photo!)

The Idea was to give the viewer the essence of the PhD Student...
We're not saying that we are used to xerox things... but that we are ready for unusual chores at unusual time of the day...

In particular IIRC this was taken AFTER we got a session of exams in Economia e Gestione delle Imprese (Business Administration).

We have toyed for sometime with several WB setting to end with the following ones.

Have a Good Light!

Monte Sant'Angelo by night (2/2)

This is the other one...

A more classical color more respectful of the real lights put there...

This is a little less ghostly but it has something appealing on the lines and lights in the lower - half contrasting with the smooth clouds in the upper half...

Ok so tell me which one you like most...

Monte Sant'Angelo by night (1/2)

This is the first shot of two on Monte Sant'Angelo (our University campus) by night.

This is slightly unusual as in Italy we do not have real Campus were students live... but as a PhD Student often I was making some research late in the evening and so one night I decided to shoot some photo just outside my department (Business Administration).

So... I took the tripod with me and starting taking pictures... obviously I've selected 2 from many more shots...

The first one has a little too blu white balance (as you can see from the lights) but it gives a ghostly appearance I really like (it contrasts with the modern structure).
