Gondola Ride

I was looking forward to my visit to Venice during my honeymoon since I have read about and seen the wonderful pictures others have gotten on their trip. Alas, my visit to Venice was much of a disappointment photographically speaking. We arrived late at 3pm only for the sun to set soon by 4.30pm. The weather was generally gloomy and after being bundled onto our gondola ride, there wasn’t any thing much to take apart from tourist snapshots. The above is one shot taken from our gondola ride that I managed to partially salvage using the Orton Process which I learnt about from James Jordan’s photoblog. The effect is not so much pronounced here compared to the fullsize original shot though.
