Italy: Florence Part 28 - The Ponte Vecchio at Sunset (with a little help from Luminar Neo)

The magazines and guides to Florence all have pictures of the Ponte Vecchio and the other Arno bridges at sunset. Unfortunately, our tight schedule did not permit us to get out and capture this view. I took this shot from the fourth floor window of the Uffizi through the glass and processed it with Luminar Neo. To create the sunset, I used a sky image which I took in Cabo San Lucas at sunset and further manipulated the colors. Criticism and suggestions welcome.

I love the shots🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈, but I have a dumb question: with this app, do you need to have an internet connection in order to make use of it? Or is it operable even disconnected?

Thanks very much Joe. The version of Luminar Neo I have is a stand-alone app. and you don't need an internet connection once it's installed. They (Skylum) are now heavily into subscriptions with some great features, but I think the original has more than I need for my post processing. I was originally a Topaz user and I do have Sharpen AI, Denoise AI and Photo AI which I use occasionally. All of them are stand alone as well with no internet required for use except for updates as is true for Luminar.

Very interesting contrast and well done Mark. I note that even the colors in the reflections in the Arno are true to the Cabo sunset. Maybe you should post this in the Digital Artistry section of UHH? We didn't make it to the Ponte Vecchio either on our port call visit last year (though we got the same view you did from the Uffizi) or our 3 night stay this year. We did spend time on the Ponte Vecchio in 1973 and plan to do it the next time we're in Florence, hopefully next year.

Thanks so much Dennis. Interestingly enough, we had dinner last night at our favorite local Italian restaurant La Toscana. We usually sit on the patio but there was a private party last night so we sat inside. This photo of the Ponte Vecchio talen from the Ponte Alle Grazie is at least 15 feet wide and I couldn't get all in - even with the wide angle on the iPhone 13.
