Why to shoot with flash when the subject is far away?
Tonight, in a rainy day, I shot a picture of the Altare della Patria (Altar of the Fatherland) also known as Monument to Milite Ignoto (Unknown Soldier), placed in the centre of Rome.
The only usefulness to make a photo with flash is to give more emphasis to the raindrops. In fact, the light of flash is reflected back to the camera lens and you can see the raindrops as points (for the farther ones) or as long wakes (for the closer ones). The exposure is of 1/60 seconds.
In computer graphics elaboration, I regulate contrast, the horizontal line and I add a little magenta dominance to give a more lyric appearance to this picture.
