Everything will be fine - a photo on Flickriver

Here it is another picture from one of my sunrise sessions in Umbria last Summer. There are all the ingredients of the archetypical natural landscape of that beautiful region: the lazy outline of mount Subasio, gentle rolling hills, olive groves, oaks, and a deep sense of peace. And that silky, golden light just before the sun rose over the ridge of mount Subasio bathing the whole scene. I would not spend many words about a rebirth of hope, a change in the mind of people, and so on: the title, which is the recurrent motto all over Italy in these dark days, should talk by itself. And the photo as well.

I allow myself just a note about the choice of this picture from my rich Umbrian archive - which is a second choice. After having wasted many hours attacking (utterly unsuccessfully) for the second or third time one of the Umbrian bracketings I like most, I decided that the second best thing was to fight a war I can win. So I simply choose an alternative bracketing and processed it - the same morning, the same location, the very same sunrise... one stubbornly refuses to be processed in any meaningful way, while the other one has accepted to be moulded according to my vision. I hope that you will enjoy it.

I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.4/0/+1.4 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. RAW files has been processed with Darktable.
A good contribution to the post-processing of part of the foreground came from a cool trick by Boris Hajdukovic.
