HDR Photography “Morning Glory”

Waking up at dawn to photograph Piazza Navona is a must if you want to capture the square without anyone there. The previous day I visited this popular square to scope out the best shooting locations and determine where the sun will rise. Once I completed my recon mission, I sat down to enjoy a little dolce far niente with a plate of spaghetti and a glass of red wine! The next morning I was all geared up and I with my plan in mind I was able to capture all of the shots that I wanted. This is a quick shot of Sant’Agnese in Agone. Despite this being a simple straight on photo, I love the grandeur of the church and the band of light that kisses the rooftop and bell towers.
