Colorful Portofino Photo

Photographer’s Note

Portofino is a beautiful town east of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. We went there the day we arrived in Europe after a grueling 8 hour flight, followed by a 2 hour bus ride, then a 20 minute train ride, a 10 minute walk and a 10 minute tram ride. It was well worth all the trouble getting there!

I increased the contrast and decreased the brightness, but the sky is still washed out. Any suggestions?

I would love to travel there and love the colors of the buildings you have captured in this photograph. I also like your note because it describes the effort we travelers make to find beauty. Thanks for sharing.

from Milano i went in Portofino in 1 hour and 20' by car!
for the sky probably you need a good work with Photoshop or other similar softwares.
but is a good picutre also in that way.
thanks, ciao

Good evening Alli.
Interesting picture. To answer your question, you could replace the sky (put a new sky in from a bank of skys, using Photoshop). It is easy to do so. You could also get rid of the magenta hue in the foreground. Since I am a new menber, I don't know yet how to send you a correction of your picture. I have been to Portofino and I will post a picture of it tonight.
