Piazalle Michaelangelo

[Luvwine]

These are fairly standard shots from Piazalle Michaelangelo in Florence. The only difference was that on this evening, we were blessed with good light and a fairly clear atomosphere....

Very nice set, especially the last two.

Hey Stephen,

Very nice shots indeed here. #2 and 5 really stand out to me, but they are all very nice. You got some great light here.

Such a beautiful city!

Some very nice light for a beautiful place. I like #2, 4, and 5 out of the set the best although they all work quite well. The only thing wrong with #1 and #3 is that they are side by side with the other 3

Outstanding!

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Stephen!

Wow, thanks Jim! That is an unexpected honor.

My favorite of the bunch is number 2 as I like the reflection off the water of the pink clouds. I had not seen that before and it did not last long. As for the other shots of the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio, was just glad to have clear atmosphere and was glad I brought my Leica R 180/2.8. Some don’t like to take such a long telephoto when traveling, but I find it invaluable for shots like these.

You sure worked the 180mm well, and yeah, I think most people take wider lenses when traveling, especially to cities, but you demonstrate very well how a longer lens can be put to good use.
