church Digital corrections dome keyhole Knights of Malta Landscapes overlapping St Peter Technics Trees Vegetables Wednesday, May 18th, 2005 by Davide Troise / italiano
Rome. High on the Aventine hill in Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta (the Square of the Knights of Malta) is the knights’ private garden and the way into the garden is through a huge entranceway with a locked wooden door. There is a tiny keyhole in the center of the door through which one is able to view an arbor way of trees, which frames the Dome of St. Peter’s in the distance. (text from thetravelzine.com)
This picture was realized overlapping two frames, made with two different exposure timing: 1/15 seconds (for a good exposure of the garden) and 1/100 seconds (for a good exposure of the dome). I fixed the aperture to the same value f/4,9 to obtain the same field dept. In computer post-production I overlapped the two frames only in the central zone with a feather on the levels. Finally I applied the unsharp mask.
