some last week touristic shots from Italy
it was cold and rainy but fun trip
Rome, Florence, Pisa, Bologna, Gardaland, Venice
lot of tourists, nice to see they use dslr a lot
I made mostly pano but I don't have the patience to assemble them
most with distagon 25 in hyperfocal

even police cars are sexy

you probably can't view the invisible man but can you spot the trick

long soccer tradition

classical tourist shot

I find a selfportrait in a shop

big guns was there

sorry no blue sky



they come from far away for pizza

Very good results for bad weather! I always say that Zeiss lenses are perfect to rescue bad weather situation, as they give back a ively result even in flat looking environments.
I like the invisible man, the Pisa one, and the take away pizza service for seagulls! Laughing

Did you know that in the last 10 years, the tower of Pisa has straightened of 28 millimeters without man's action? During the 90s, the tower was straightened of 50 centimeters but that was because of man action (they did create a complex system of microchannels and counterweights). At the beginning of this century, the counterweights were removed and the microchannels filled, and replaced with a net of sensors able to detect even the smallest movement. But the tower kept straightening itself on it's own. The straightening movement is slowing down though and it should stop in a few years. So the tower will remaing slanted, but safe.

I always enjoy tourist style shots, these are very nice, especially the Leaning Tower and statue in foreground. In the 'normal' shots of the Tower, it appears to be all alone in the middle of open space. This is a nice counter shot.

Excellent pics, Poilu !

Really like the "film like" OOF in first pic...

In the shot with the huge "sigma zoom" lens guy was he trying to read/identify the distagon ? Is he shot when his spelling the "a" in distagon Laughing Laughing

Also it's no difficult to realize where the pics where taken.. even the seagulls are eating Pizza Very Happy

I tried make it appear straight framing it from the slanting direction

I guess so, or was he say "what are you looking, little prick" Rolling Eyes
