CATALUNYA HEAT
There were wonderful days in Barcelona and Tarrega, a small pueblo in the middle of Catalunya, not far from Lleida. The town was ready to start with a street theatre festival with artists coming from all over.
During those few days I took some shots at the places, trying to emphasize the heat (yes, even in September) with a technique that has been quite popular lately in digital photography: slight overexposure. Although this is formerly wrong, since the digital shots are taken with positive light and are due to "burn" pixels if you overexpose too much, the resulting effect is quite interesting. Some more details can be found here.

Digital Shots - City landscapes
© Francesco MancusiOne of the authors that use this technique quite a lot is the American photographer William Rugen. William is based in Seattle but travels a lot around US. He his active on social networks mainly through flickr and facebook. He also travelled around Italy and it is possible to see some of his shots on his site.
In his work called Western Dioramas he merges symmetry and style into something surely pleasant and interesting. Although I found some of his work a bit didactic, I think he has a very nice style that could possibly become more personal in the future.
