I am really excited this week. On Friday, I saw that there were some last minute openings in Bill Fortney’s and Matt Kloskowski’s New England Photo Workshop. I’ve never taken a photo workshop before and have always admired Bill’s and Matt’s work. I decided to take the plunge and I am heading back to Maine on Saturday for the workshop. Looking forward to it so much. Now to today’s image…
Venice is one of the most unique cities in the world. It is a photographer’s paradise with views on every street / canal. The center of our stay in Venice was St Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco). The square seems to be the designation of every traveler to Venice and is also a popular meeting place for the locals.
The piazza is home to the famous St Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace. To get a different view of St Mark’s, you can enter it’s campanile (bell tower) and go up 323 feet to see the basilica from above. The view shows the five domes of St Mark’s against the backdrop of the surrounding city.
great work, so sharp and crisp

The architecture there is incredible, and this is a great perspective on it. Nicely done. And good luck in Maine at the workshop.

Lovely shot Len. I didn’t get up the Campanile when I was there unfortunately. Great perspective of a wonderful city!

What’s the topic of the workshop? Sounds like fun. Great photo. I’ve been to every corner of Europe many times, but never been to Italy. Its a crime. Beautiful shot.

It is a week tour of New England which includes VT, NH and Maine. Extended stay at Acadia NP. Includes photo critiques.
It is a crime that you’ve never been to Italy. It’s a must see.
Fantastic shot Len, it’s rich with warmth and details!

Absolutely stunning shot Len. I love the POV. The lighting, the textures and colors everything works so well. I was very disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to get up to the bell tower.

nice Len, did you get a shot from there across the large canal too, over to that other church on the adjacent island (hope you know what I’m talking about!)? great shot!!

I know which church you mean, Church of San Giorgio Maggiore. No, I didn’t even try as I would have been shooting directly into the sun. I wish I had gone back though to catch the right light but there was so much to see in Venice and so little time.
Great looking perspective and details, nicely done.
