A Praça Principal de Cracóvia (Rynek Główny) é o elemento central da cidade e nenhum turista visitará Cracóvia e não andará nesta praça. Obviamente que isso leva a uma sensação de sobrelotação durante todo o dia e pode muitas vezes aqui queixar-se do povo de Cracóvia a respeito das massas de turistas.
O que se pode fazer? A solução com a mesma frequência: Levantar cedo. De manhã, são permitidos carros na Praça Principal, mas há muito menos pessoas por perto. Definitivamente, é muito mais calmo do que durante o dia ou à noite. De qualquer modo, fiquei surpreendido com o número de pessoas que já se levantavam tão cedo. Felizmente, foi possível tirar algumas fotos sem muitas pessoas.
Nesta fotografia pode ver-se o Salão de Panos de Cracóvia (Sukiennice) com o Monumento Adam Mickiewicz em primeiro plano. O sol acabou de passar sobre os telhados e atira a silhueta da cidade sobre as paredes do Salão do Pano.

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).
