![]() If the idea of climbing 498 narrow, wooden steps to the top of a 97.2m tall medieval tower (leaning a noticeable 1.3° off-centre) for the best views in Bologna sounds daunting, let us tell you - it is!īut the views from the summit of the Asinelli Tower are unequivocally worth it, and watching the sunset high above the red city was one of our favourite things to do in Bologna (read our guide to the Asinelli Towers here). #2 CLIMB TO THE TOP OF BOLOGNA, THE ASINELLI TOWER Tours | This walking tour of Bologna is perfect to see the city’s most interesting porticoes, their history and traditions with a local guide. The original wooden porticoes of Via Marsala The porticoes of Piazza Maggiore and the seat of the old University ![]() University students even use them as advertising boards for the latest parties in town.īut for us, it was the perfect place to take photos - they're just so picturesque we couldn't put our cameras down (except when it was time for Aperol Spritz). Locals use the porticoes in different ways, whether it be friends sitting under their arches to have an espresso or smoke, or to walk their dogs in the absence of rain. Another great way to see and learn about the porticoes is to take a guided city walking tour - that way you’ll understand their importance and beauty. By simply strolling the city's porticoes, it felt like we were getting to know the city and its history, one step at a time. There are close to 40kms of porticoes throughout the city of Bologna, each with its own unique style and structure. To avoid having to narrow the streets down to extend the footprint of the university, porticoes were built over the existing walkways - at a height that horses and carts could pass below them - that also created space for extensions to occur on top of them. ![]() The UNESCO world-heritage-listed porticoes of Bologna were built between the city's prosperous Middle Ages and the early 20th century when the growth of the University created the need for extra space. Lights and shadows, unique architectural angles, columns, capitals and frescoes Bologna's porticoes create the most fascinating urban landscapes and ones which we couldn't help but fall in love with. Love our photos? They were all edited using our custom Lightroom presets, which you can purchase here ! Here are twelve things you should do on your visit to Bologna. Often overlooked in favour of Italy’s other ‘hotspots’, if you’re a traveller in search of ‘true Italy’, Bologna has plenty to offer. ![]() What’s more, there’s a distinct lack of foreign tourists sharing these beautiful streets with you, which makes for a beautifully authentic, immersive experience. Not an easy feat in a country so famed for it’s delicious fare! It’s also one of Italy’s most progressive cities, with a deeply liberal and politically edgy society, while also securing pride of place as the country’s gastronomic capital (here’s everything you need to know before visiting Bologna!). Under these columns lie hidden galleries and hipster boutiques, hole in the wall bars and groups of students sharing a laugh between classes. Medieval terracotta buildings give the city its nickname, La Rossa, while miles of UNESCO heritage-listed porticoes paint the streets with lights, shadows, and deep architectural perspectives like a moving artwork (perfect for street photography!). In our opinion, this is one of Italy’s most unique, beautiful, and underrated cities. In a time when many Italy’s most popular destinations are calling for help as they struggle with record-breaking tourist numbers (again) and move toward implementing tourism taxes, it seemed almost impossible that there could still be a place left in the country where an authentic experience was possible. This was the advice given to us - by a Bologna local, no less - before our trip to Italy’s famed red city (after our hike through the incredible Emilia Romagna region), and our curiosity had instantly been piqued. “Bologna is a city you come to be a local, not a tourist,“

At the time, nearly a quarter of its free float was sold short. What was it that made this one of the hottest names among traders active online? Mostly, its potential as a short-squeeze play. What the NBA is about is augmenting star-level talent, and the Heat start at a reasonable place in that aspect with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Plus, the Heat go into camp with a pair of open spots on the standard roster, which could mean the next Strus or Vincent emerging, or those openings could yet turn into prospects added after roster moves elsewhere around the league. There now also could be another stride from Caleb Martin. What has gotten lost is that Tyler Herro was playing close to an All-Star level at the start of last season. Before the season started for the Miami Heat, head coach Erik Spoelstra stated to the media during training camp that this current roster is deeper than it was last season. Such is part of the balance of developing playoff-time contributors while also playing to win enough games to make the playoffs.

This is worth the extra time it takes for me to brush it on the skin. I love the look that the De-Blotch action gives to newborn skin and appreciate that it also evens out the skin tone and tones down the highlights for me. It is half the price, and comes with other actions to enhance eyes, make hair look shinier, whiten teeth, and more. If I had to choose between Portraiture and Pro Retouch, I would choose Pro Retouch. Here’s a video of me editing newborn skin with Photoshop’s neural filter for skin smoothing.Īs you can see in these examples, the three methods of skin smoothing I compared all produce similar results! I am disappointed that the skin smoothing neural filter in Photoshop will only smooth the skin on the face, but in general I love the concept and I am hopeful that Adobe will continue to roll out new neural filters and improve upon the ones now available. There are only two sliders to adjust so it’s simple to use, but not as customizable as Portraiture. Like Portraiture, it creates its own mask, so you do not have to brush it on manually which saves a lot of time. ![]() ![]() It runs on one face at a time, so I can see it being helpful for family or wedding photographers who might want to run it at different strengths on each person in an image. This filter would only work if you only photograph babies swaddled or wearing long-sleeved clothing. I prefer to smooth the skin on the face and the body of newborns. Since I photograph naked babies a lot, this is not going to work for most of my newborn portraits. One big drawback for using Photoshop’s neural filters for newborn photography is that the skin smoothing filter only affects the face. I wanted to see if this free option was as good as the other two methods that I have used for years. The skin smoothing filter needs to be downloaded but is free for Photoshop CC users, which is a huge plus! This is what motivated me to compare these three skin smoothing methods. The neural filters are a newer feature of Photoshop CC, released in October 2020. In this video, you can see how Portraiture works to smooth newborn skin. For me, it was well worth the price since I have used it for years on thousands of images. It is $199, which is not too bad if you are a working professional photographer, but more prohibitive if you are a hobbyist or on a tight budget. The biggest drawback is probably the price. You can let it do this automatically or you can fine tune the mask yourself by using the eyedropper tool and selecting the skin tones on your image. The smoothing is automatically applied only to the skin and does not affect details like eyes and hair. The best thing about Portraiture is that it finds the skin tones in your image and creates its own mask. I typically choose the “normal” preset and then tweak it to my liking. It comes with several presets that you can choose from, depending on the amount of smoothing you want on your image. You can also purchase it for Lightroom, but I have only used it in Photoshop so I can not comment on the Lightroom version. I decided to test out these three methods to compare the results. But, I recently discovered that Adobe Photoshop CC now comes with its own skin smoothing plugin under the neural filters. I typically use the Portraiture plug in or the De-Blotch action (part of Totally Rad’s Pro Retouch 2.0) for skin smoothing. There are many actions on the market for touching up newborn skin and many ways you could go about it by hand in Photoshop. Then I use a skin smoothing action or plugin to give the baby’s skin a final polish. I also use different adjustment layers to correct red or jaundice skin tones. In Photoshop, I use the spot healing brush, the healing brush, and the patch tool to touch up little marks, flakes, and blemishes on newborn skin. That’s why I use a few different newborn skin smoothing techniques. Most parents who hire me to take newborn portraits want to remember their newborn with beautiful clear skin. Some newborns have beautiful clear skin, but more often a newborn’s skin can be flaky, blotchy, and have little bumps and scratches. Newborn skin can be tricky and time consuming to edit. As a newborn photographer, I am always looking for new ways to speed up my editing workflow and make my tiny clients look their best. And now, they're parents to a daughter, Lilah Rose.īefore you hit play on your first, next, or finale episode, come with us as we get to know Cardellini and her real-life beau a little bit better.
