About This is my very first shot with my new precious optic: a super-wide-angle Nikkor 12-24 for digital. I have to be a bit mad to buy such things...

This shot (with NO COKIN filter !!! NO SKY ATTACHED !!!) was taken from Accademia Bridge (over Grand Canal) around noon on 23rd July 2003, just 30 minutes before a really strong thunderstorm with cherry-big hail and wind with gusts over 130 km/h. Great damages to the trees (especially in the land, 5 miles from Venice).

The one item showing a lower rating was Originality and yet, this is quite a different and original photo of Venice and possibly the most beautiful. Well worth being kept with My Favorites.

Scott Sarver   {K:178} 7/28/2003
I agree with many of the comments that have already been left. It is a great image. Have you burned the sky in? There seems to be some lighter areas in the sky right around the roof lines of the buildings and the sky reflected in the water doesn't seem to match.

Felipe Rodríguez   {K:9200} 7/28/2003
How I envy you, Cristiano! Not only for this (and so many other) great photos, but for being the owner of one of these 12-24 lenses. Its quality is outstanding! But it's so expensive!!! (and what's the matter if, as it seems, they finally go to full frame digital cameras?).
Anyway, enjoy the glass!!!
Saluti cordiali!

Cristiano - I typically don't comment on pictures that already have a lot of comments. But, this image is just to beautiful to ignore - wonderful colors, unbelievable contrast between the sky and the water in the canels, sharp focus. Really a very nice shot. Well done - Bob T.

This is quite beautiful. One of the best shots of Venice I have seen. I am just wondering if you played with levels to try to bring the clouds up a little for more definition? Or even doging the white in the clouds some?

Stunning photo Cristiano. One of your best of not the best. I believe that because here we have a great phenomen, a great effect. The sky is dark, strong clouds are there BUT the building of the city have a great lighting support that is not usual with the weather. This makes a magic result, very beautiful. Also the water looks very good... well all looks very well here :-)

Cristiano, people do keep asking for consistent comments about cropping, lighting, angle, tones and bla, bla, bla...
Most of the pictures do deserve comments like that, few don't.
A perfect picture is a perfect picture and we know it when we see it. Punto e basta. Marília

Beautiful image Cristiano - the light is exceptional, providing a warm illumination of the buildings, and great contrasting colors throughout. A beautiful Venice scene - well composed.

and...one is never mad to invest in another lens - you will love the super wide - looking forward to seeing some uploads from it.
