Gondolas in the night

... then having noticed that the other photographers were gone, I set

myself up on the free place. With the maximum aperture, the exposure

time was of one sixth of second. Because of the fog, the depth of

field had no importance (San Giorgio Maggiore in the background on

the other side of the chanel was not visible), and I thought that the

slight move of the gondolas would be apparent without make them

totaly ghostly. I took a few shots, trying to catch a beautiful

splash of water against the quay in the foreground.

 

And finaly I have turned this morning foggy landscape in a night

landscape. What do you think of it ?

The gondolas shot this way has been seen before ... the difference which makes it a better photo is the dramatic water and the way the light is falling on the decks. A foggy morning shot ... turned into a night shot ... good job. I like the very dark background. Well done.
