Patchwork - Burano, Venice

A classic view of Burano, an island of the Venetian lagoon at about 1h

of Vaporetto from downtown Venice. Burano is just a fantastic

playground for photographers, with its canals and the crazy colours of

the houses.

I took this picture about 30 minutes before sunset. I used a strong

neutral density filter to get an exposure time of 60", in order to get

rid of the people passing by the "fondamenta" (sidewalks).

 

Your C&C are as always higly appreciated, thanks for your time.

it looks great and well done, congratulations! very charming colours it has and very good example for travel photography.

but somehow i cant stop thinking that you could have found a better angle for cooler perspective.

its great anyways! congratulations again

Gorgeous image. Just love it--the composition and colors.

This is lovely ................. So colorful

You have captured a great image with the long exposure, Paolo. I payed attention to the boats and they seem to be nearly as quite as the walls; a really calm water. I was there a long time ago and I know that beautiful place. The colours are great and the quiet feeling you have reached is lovely. Best regards.

un bellisimo photo. auguri

saluti da robert

As far as I'm concerned, the composition is perfect, and the colors, of course, are superb. However, given the great depth of this shot, I don't think f/11 gives you enough depth of field. For example, the first boat seems to have some blur in it. I would have preferred say f/16 to get a tack-sharp image from front to back. Clever use of your neutral density filter. A very lovely image.

a colourful and unique interpretation of a much photographed scene; congratulations!  regards, cb  :-)

You've nailed it.  Congrats!
