Re: Gondoli Reprocessed
I like your processing, Richard. It gives the photo a timeless look; or is that woman taking a selfie?

Nice choice for BW. We're planning travel to Venice this spring.

Re: Gondoli Reprocessed
Dan...
Venice is a magical place for photography. There is a new image around every corner. My wife was very disappointed in our hotel room but, I loved it. A window overlooked a small canal with lots of traffic - both gondolas (gondoli) and other boats. I was able to shoot images from my window...
Here's the "real" Venice. The part that the average tourist never sees, trash collection...
The hotel problem for my wife was two-fold: There was no glass in the windows, simply rough wooden shutters because this was an 18th Century building. It was pretty hot and humid with some mosquitoes AND party-gondolas (actually the true word is gondoli) would pass us until the wee hours of the morning with the gondolieri singing and what sounded like the top of their lungs...
The food in Venice was really excellent.
The first night, we ate in an outdoor restaurant on the Grand Canal. Kind of touristy and expensive but the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great...
Binnur: Here is the image in color...
Here are two more of my images that I gave a different look to in post processing:
I had this one done on canvas and it is hanging on a wall in my home...

I'm sure we're going to enjoy Venice. We never spend any time in hotel rooms. Just a place to drop our stuff, sleep, and the ole SSS. Photographically I'm sure to be challenged as shooting wide is not my favorite thing.

Dan, the widest focal length I used in Venice was the 17mm of my 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lens.

Well that's as wide as I have too. So there it is.

Re: Gondoli Reprocessed
If you want an exquisite photo opportunity, go during the Venice Carnival. You Won't know where to point your camera. The sadness for me was that when I went, I had just returned to photography via an 8MP point and shoot. I'd love to go again with something more capable and as a more experienced photographer.
