And It Shall Be Turned into Darkness

There is no need to look for craters here as this is the sun and not the moon. This was a rare glimpse of the London sun, fighting through the sudden rain clouds. Caught it just before it disappeared entirely.

Even then, to avoid getting the sun blown out, aperture had to be closed down to f22 (the maximum that the lens would allow) and the exposure had need to be biased 4 stops darker. Noise was added in post to give it a raw, textured look.

The Grand Canal in Venice with Palazzo Bembo

Artist: Francesco Guardi (Italian, 1712-1793)

Date: ca. 1768

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Getty Center Museum Collection, Los Angeles, CA, United States

Description

A luminous morning haze bathes Venice's Grand Canal. Guided by oarsmen, gondolas and cargo boats glide through the placid water; their hulls traverse the gentle reflections cast by the surrounding buildings. Masts and vertical pilings punctuate the pale, overcast sky. Buildings of varying shapes and scale--but all sharing a muted palette--extend from edge to edge and deep into the distance. On the right, a few early-risers mill about on the banks of the canal.
