St.Peters Basilica by night


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   St.Peters Basilica by night
St.Peters Basilica by night
G'day all ....
Back in Australia and glad to be back at bp - look forward to catching up with everyone!!!

Taken in Rome on the 12th August, tv30, f22, iso 200, 24-70 lens balanced on a pole as the police wouldn't let me use my tripod, mirror lock up and cable release. The moon was there but in a different place - added it later.

Have a great night!

Renee Doyle

  Thanks so much for you wonderful comments Mary, Jeff, Ronald, Tamera, William, Robbie, Theresa and Tamara!!!!

William you aren't alone with trying to work out the logic - they even ok'd the fact that I could balance on one of the poles surrounding the Basilica - just not use the tripod!!!!

  I'm so jealous. I did a summer abroad in Italy in college, in the 80's. I loved Rome so much, this brings back wonderful memories. It is soooo perfectly beautiful. The lighting is wonderful. I have to go back.

  Welcome back, Renee! Hope you had a great trip! This image is absolutely awesome - superb clarity and composition, perfect exposure - well done!

I was there a couple of years ago at Christmas, and had the same experience - wasn't allowed to take my tripod past the barriers at the front of the square, even though the place was practically empty at night. Couldn't understand the logic.
