No HDR, shot raw, and post processing in lightroom with negative film simulator.
Personally found if image too "clean" can't bring out the "feel"  ;D
Just my own taste.

Entire trip with 3 lenses. 14mm, 23mm and 56mm.

Great shots Silverstan. We should have visited together. LOL. I was there too the same places u visited. Definitely my pics don't turn out like yours. I wanted to use Raw mode but too scared to use it. Not photography savvy at all. Was using point-and-shoot Sony RX100 MK I.

carry 3 lenses for a trip... so you interchnge it when you shoot? 1 day 1 lens?

like many of the angle you shot, not so on the color tone... n seems less color, so making photo doesnt look sharp as well

Maybe the color tone, sharpness caused by the film simulator preset. If image too sharp it look unreal.  :P

Didn't have much time to position for angle, most of the photo just point and shot while walk around with wife, those in Venice many are shot from the water bus.
Too many tourist for the places i visited, not really have time to stop and shot. Mostly shot on the move.

As for the lenses, mostly 14mm attached to my camera. Only change when needed. 14mm > 23mm > 56mm

Shooting with fixed lenses is more fun.  ;D

Using Fujifilm X-E2. independent speed and aperture dial is very nice.
