These are pictures from Rovinj, we went there yesterday since the forecast for today was bad. Thses are as per tittle a bit too postcard type of pictures, much more that what i would like to, but these weekend trips are more that anything else occasions to stay altogheter. I don t want them to turn into egoistic photo trips  The place itself is fantastic, so photogenic, the narrow streets, the stone pavements, the details, the people. One could spent a month here and it wouldn t run out of subjects. This was a three hours walk around the town, the pics are in chronical order as we walked thru it. C&C plese and don t use any velvet glove
#1
we just parked the car and this...
#2
#3
down to the centre and the harbour, i just love thses pavements...
#4
the harbour, first side...
#5
a must pic of the fountain on the main square...
#6
it really is a colourful place...
#7
the republic of Venice ruled here for centurys, this was it s symbol: lion with wings and a book
#8
#9
#10
more harbour...
#11
#12

#13
#14

#15

#16
#17
#18
#19
#20

#21

#22
#23
#24
#25
#26
#27
#28
#29
#30
this is the harbour from the other side, i know a lot of them are similar, i just took them as we walked by the harbour...
#31
back to the car...
The sky was partially overcast, just where the sun was, this is why there s a lot of wariation in WB and brightness of the pics. Lenses used where a 17/3.5 Vivitar (Tokina made), a Nikkor 24/2.8 and a 28/2. From Rovinj we went to the village of Motovun, another gem, of which i ll post the pictures in an anoher thread.

Love the series, very natural exposures!
The Montalbano pic, #20, #21 and the pavement shots are my favorites.

yes, i also like thses pavements...intresting that you like the "Monmtalbano" one, it was meant as a joke, "Il commisario Montalbano" was a popular series on the Italian national TV. Its about a police inspector in Sicily.

Yes, I figured it was something along those lines, though I'm not familiar with the series.  I like the colors and perspective in that shot.
cheers

I love all of these, very consistent style, colour and composition. #26 and #27 have a really nice texture to them although I think that I prefer #26 due to the composition and the rendering being a little fussy in #27. |

very nice series, some great shooting alngles and nice colors indeed.
(personally I would have underexposes 1/3-1/2 stop to bring out the
colors more, as they look a bit "pastel" i.e. washed out on my monitor)
