I walked with the Venetian group of
Scott Kelby's "Worldwide Photo Walk"
this past Saturday.
These are some of the images
I captured in the company
of very talented and skilled photographers.
Their skills -
not even talking about their equipment -
taught me humility,
but also inspired me
to work harder,
maybe even go back
to school!
Do you have any favorite among
these images?
Alright, here are some more
("La donna è mobile!"):
Click on them,
they'll grow on you!

Hmmm I will choose only because you are asking.
ReplyDeleteThe first and second photos are my favourites...
The restful reflection in the first and I don't know what it is in the 2nd with the clothes but I love it.
whenever you go all l'heure bleu on us, I swoon...sigh
ReplyDeletemore baby...more pls!
SARAH LULU,
ReplyDeletethank you!
I think the colour of the fabric and the pattern of the skirt to the right make all the difference: They are reminiscent of the colours and patterns of the roof.

Thank you!
Well, so long as you promise to assume that the choice of one favourite does not denigrate all the others, I award my Silver Salver to...

Venetian Dream
I love when seemingly ordinary things are captured this way.
ReplyDeleteBravo!
Oh I'm loving the first one with the reflections and the accidental beauty one in which you captured the photographer. Great photos!!! I'm so glad you shared them! Make sure to put them up at Flicker too!

No.1...the very smart Ventitian
ReplyDeleteand No. 4. the boats, the water, the colours all so so beautiful.
Something very salient about the clothes hanging on the line between the buildings. Very 'human' perhaps.
ReplyDeleteYep, Venetian Dreams is my choice -- lovely composition.
ReplyDeleteAnd there's something about a clothesline in one of the world's most beautiful cities that I find irresistible!
The first photo with the reflection is my favorite, but I enjoyed the all.
ReplyDeleteAn Arkies Musings
The gondola is my favorite, followed by Stealing Beauty Twice. I look forward to seeing what this walk will inspire!
ReplyDeleteOh yes. the orange building, love the perspective and the color!
ReplyDeleteLL
Ich habe mich noch nie getraut so eine Maske auszuprobieren und mich damit fotografieren zu lassen, mache ich dann nächstes Jahr :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the one with the clothes hanging on the line between the buildings.
ReplyDeleteMonica
I think I like best the washing hung out to dry because it makes me wonder about the person/s who own those clothes!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the two clothesline photos and I will tell you why.
ReplyDeleteBecause, to show such domestication in the midst of such..... architecture, it strikes the viewer with the realization that actual, real people, [like you, Merisi] LIVE, and go about their daily things, in a place that most of us can only dream about.
Venetian Dream gets my vote - all the colours of Venice, as painted by the Old Masters, lie within it.
ReplyDeleteA blog with a story of images varied Greetings
ReplyDeleteActually, I love all the photos. I heard about the PhotoWalk and heard that it was very successful, worldwide.
ReplyDeletePaz

i am in love with Venice
and
the
world
at
large ♥
Five and six are my favourites, though all of them are lovely.
ReplyDeleteHard to choose. I like some more than others because I know exactly where you took them, like #7, near my best friend Paola's house, or the one with the clothes, behind the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. On the same exact window there used to be a beautiful construction with lots of miniature wind mills made of wood. It was a fascinating thing to stare at as a little girl. After the tenant died, the one who constructed it, they took it down, it was a sad day.
ReplyDeleteI would pick the one with the Gondola though, because it represents Venice, I can feel the gentle rocking of the water on the gondola. I wish I were there now.
