View from a Window in the Vatican

Well, part of my work now is taming my image files. I came across some of my Canon S50 Digicam pictures taken as we passed a window and then resting the camera on a window sill, swept the air with a series of overlapping images.

I am happy I re-discovered the image taken at f4.0 at 1/1000 sec.

Hi Nicolas,

I guess I wanted to have a little more DOF than using f2.8 and I had no IS and a wife asking me to hurry so I needed a fast shutter. I'll check the ISO later. The colors are wonderful but I am interested in the unity of form which is only maximized when we have no beautiful colors to seduce us so easilly. I'll prepare a colored file too for posting. Color is very hard for me when I'm not using film. I somehow feel that the digital look is not the same, but maybe I'm just kidding myself.

Asher

Ah, Italy

Italy and France have been some of my favorite travel destinations. Well, that is a lie. I never met a place I didn't like.

The issue with Italy, however, is that the buildings deserve great color (Nicolas will agree with me, no doubt). The Vatican is quite colorful in and of itself, even with the beige marble everywhere. One look a the Vatican Museum and it' incredibule frescoes or Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling will tell you. And if you missed that part, the Swiss Guard are not subjects to behold in Black and White...All Color!
