San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 25 October 2013 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I've just come back from a 6 day photography trip to Venice. This shot is a long-exposure night photo with the lights and waves from a passing waterbus creating the foreground with the beautiful Palladian Church of San Giorgio Maggiore in the background.

NIKON D800 30 seconds F/8.0 ISO 100 48 mm (35mm equiv.)

It's a gorgeous black and white, as usual, but I'm surprised that those waves show so well after a 30 second exposure. The deep black sky is really impressing too.

@Curly: Thanks Curly! The way that those waves reflected the light surprised me too (in a nice way) - surprises like this are one the things I love about long exposure photography.
