film shots to come - also, most of these shots have had a bit of processing applied.

Many of your photos are WAY overexposed. You need to come down a few stops or use a polarizing filter.

I personally enjoyed a lot of the b&w of the train station. I also enjoyed a few from the first village like the scooter photo. I also really like the last landscape. I skipped over most of the Florence photos just because everyone that has visited there always end up taking pictures of the same things but granted there really isn't a whole lot else to take photos of there unless you really had a lot of time to explore.

Yeah that's fair enough, it was hard to get shots how I wanted them - in a place where it's like every building has a tourist taking a photo of it.

 

navyplaya - any photos in particular?

Dude, please, please, please, please, please use hide tags :)

And as said, I love the final landscape and the pic of village with the Vespa.

1st, 3rd and 4th pics are also great. Others are rather more like, meh.

Almost all of your shots with a sky is overexposed, you can use the graduated filter in raw to fix that.

^^This.

 

Your B&W photos are your best. The rest are just boring IMHO. They need more of a focal point. And remember the rule of thirds.

To be honest, I'm going to disagree with these comments regarding over-exposure. Firstly, your photos are all exposed well, but yes, in many, the sky is over exposed. What navyplaya, and soa brushed over were the fact that your overexposure of the sky is a stylistic feature of the shot, and moreso, an element of personal style developed over years of photography. I personally like over exposed skies by a stop or two, it brings balance to the photo.
