The lights of Rome by eve’s glow…
I spent time at this location over several evenings when in Rome as I knew that if some darker clouds could pass by in the background there would be a wonderful contrast of light and colour with the dome of St Peter’s…
Subsiding storm, Ischia
A fast moving storm front had just cleared Ischia Ponte, and was now playing havoc in the Bay of Napoli as the distant waterspout attests. Castle Aragonese meanwhile was starting to build up a glow as the evening light built…
Storm at sunset, Ischia Ponte
The storm’s departure as sunset arrived led to a remarkable light display over Aragonese Castle at Ischia Ponte…
Procida tapestry
After the crowds of Rome and Naples, I was amazed that such a beautiful town as this, on the island of Procida, would be as quiet as it was. I had this lookout spot all to myself on a warm autumn day :)
A quiet evening in Venice
I spent much time in Venice seeking the grand vistas, but what I kept enjoying the most - when I was there and in memory - were the quiet scenes of corners of this beautiful city when activity seemed to pause for rest and reflection.
Canale Grande vignette, Venice
A gondola drifted past on the Canale Grand in Venice as I was scouting for scenes to capture how I felt about this amazing city. This was it!
Sunset, Rio del Malpaga, Venice
A long day of exploring the city was coming to an end, but a magical golden hour awaited as we neared our home near the Accademia bridge…
Castel Sant’Angelo, Rome
I spent several evening hours in a one block radius of the fabulous ancient castle of Sant’Angelo, looking to capture its glow without hordes of people. Finally a moment presented itself…
Crescent Moon from Ponte Umberto I, Rome
There was a surprisingly small window of time for me to capture this image, even though I was at the same spot on the Ponte Umberto for over an hour. Key was seeking to balance the tones in the sky with the lights in the buildings, and still have not only the lit crescent of the moon visible, but also the part of the moon visible that was lit only by Earthshine…
Lightning Storm, Vesuvius and Ischia
The late afternoon at Ischia Ponte had been one long thunderstorm and it intensified as night fell. Castle Aragonese was lit splendidly as the lightning raged from above Mount Vesuvius (left) towards Capri which is behind the castle to the right of the frame…
Castel Sant’Angelo and Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II
A walk back from the Vatican was as full of wonder as the sights within the Vatican Museum itself…
Ischia - Panorama from Castello Aragonese
I visited this location several times during our time in Ischia, looking for an opportunity to capture a very high resolution panorama of this wonderful island. I was happy with the result on this day - an image of several hundred megapixels that will print very large and retain the sharpness I was seeking…
