Pumpkin Galore!

I LOVE PUMPKINS!

Yes, I like pumpkins a lot, but not as food (that I don't like) rather as decorations and symbols of the season. The vivid colors and the odd shapes are always so visually stimulating that is difficult for me to resist using them as subjects for my photo-shootings – and to resist bringing a certain number of them home, as Denise painfully knows very well...

For the first time I used Lightroom 5 for my editing. I had always used Digital Photo Professional, from Canon, to convert and finalize my RAWs – and will still use it – but I must confess I like the diverse and powerful tools of the Adobe software. I still have to learn how to use it at its maximum potential, but I hope to master it very soon.

This year the season is late and autumn colors are just now starting to change the landscape here in the Po Valley: Check the blog! New colorful shots on the way!
