La Piazza Principale di Cracovia (Rynek Główny) è l’elemento centrale della città e nessun turista visiterà mai Cracovia senza camminare su questa piazza. Ovviamente questo porta a una sensazione di sovraffollamento per tutto il giorno e spesso si può sentire le lamentele degli abitanti di Cracovia riguardo alle masse di turisti.
Cosa si può fare? La soluzione come spesso: Alzarsi presto. La mattina ci sono auto ammesse nella piazza principale, ma c’è molta meno gente in giro. Sicuramente, è molto più tranquillo che durante il giorno o la sera. Comunque, sono rimasto sorpreso da quanta gente era già in piedi a quell’ora. Per fortuna è stato possibile scattare alcune foto senza molte persone.
In questa foto si può vedere la Sala dei Tessuti di Cracovia (Sukiennice) con il Monumento di Adam Mickiewicz in primo piano. Il sole si è appena fatto strada sopra i tetti e getta la silhouette della città sulle pareti del Cloth Hall.

Workflow: In the way of how to take the photo there was not too many issues to take care of. I tried to capture everything through multiple exposures but unfortunately, a few people didn’t want to move.
Tough luck! Well, then I have to do it in the post-processing. First I got rid of some artifacts in the sky and then I took out the few remaining persons. After that I brought more structure to the image and adjusted the colors (the golden light seemed way to artificial fresh out of Photomatix).
