Shots from Firenze, Italy

[boulderNardo]

All right folks, time for the next set. Not much so say about it. Spent Christmas near Florence with my extended family and got a day in Florence itself for some shooting ... Unfortunately, I was lazy and didn't bring my tripod along for the walk, but I think I managed all right nonetheless :D

Please lots of C&C as usual!

Beautiful set of photos, Bernardo! I was there 30-odd years ago with a little Instamatic. Seeing your photos makes me want to return to Italia one day. Thanks for sharing!

Jeeze that Duomo brings back memories. It looks like an overcast day. Nice shots (altho' I don't understand the last one)

I was there in 1970 with my bride on a euro motorcycle trip. Florence had suffered a flood a year or two before and there was a ring around the buildings (30" high). My bride and I are celebrating our 50th in March '09....

Salute!

Ahhh... memories... then there was Venice... then....

I like three. Definitely odd with the WA view, and la-a-a-i-i-d back structures. In number four, I really like the detail, but would probably lose the sky and just go for the superb architecture and design.

Duomo is such a wonderful and beautiful structure to look at.

I did a series of shots on films and wish to visit again.

Your images are very nicely captured.

Very, very nice set. I especially like #s 1, 2, and 10. I'm wondering if a little grad ND filter adjustment on #1 might make it even better.
