Lights and shadows in the Gran Canal Photo

Photographer’s Note

Probably the first great thing that one sees when arriving at Venice is the majestuosity silhouette of Santa Maria della Salute, almost in front of Piazza San Marco. So impresive it is that its image will remain in the memory of the visitor forever and ever.
This great baroque church, just at the entrance of the Gran Canal is one of the most impressive architectonic works in Venice.
In its interior, whe can find pictorial treasures of Tiziano and Tintoretto.
The writer Henry James compared it as a great dame in her lounge.

Dedicated to all TE friends who are enjoying the Venetian meeting. (I'm jealous of them!)

You can find more info about this church in this link Santa Maria della Salute

Hola Felip,
No me acuerdo de ver ninguna foto como esta, lo que es admirable, porque Veneza en geral y la Plaza de San Marco debe ser uno de los locales más fotografiados del mundo. Una bella compo, una luz muy bien manejada, que proporciona una nitidez poco usual para una toma nocturna.
Un abrazo, José.

Hello Felip,

A superb night view with the dored color of the elements which arise very well in the black of the night. The FG well selected give a great prospect effect. An image rich in harmony.
Congratulations.
Have a good evening,
Roger

Great night shot with good sharpness. I like this view with the poles in the foreground making it obviously Venice.

Hola Felip:

La larga exposición ha determinado una gran toma, dentro de una excelente y original composición. La arquitectura es bellisima, y aun se puede observar el ligero movimiento que han dado las gondolas estacionadas juntos a los troncos del muelle. Un interesante trabajo, sin duda.

Saludos desde Colombia, John

Hi Felip
I like your composition,
the wooden rods are so typical for Venice.
The sky is black but still the atmosphere is fantastic, and the church is very well illuminated.
Congratulations,
M

Hola Felip
Super night shot! The exposure could not be more perfect & the dome actually pops out against the pitch dark sky BG. Like the ghosts of the gondolas (!!)Good work my friend
Best Regards

Great night catch with good star effects on city lights. I like very much the overall ambiance.

Hi Felip,

It is a pity you did not come to the meeting in Venice. It was fantastic! Very unusual view of Santa Maria della Salute, it looks here like piece of art made from gold. Fantastic contrast with the dark sky. Also poles look intriguing.

warm regards
