Venezia Poster.

There were several thousand gondolas in Venice during the 18th century. Today there are several hundred, but they still remain one of the iconic symbols of Venice. The ornament on the bow is called a ferro (meaning iron) and serves as a counter balance for the gondolier at the stern. Nikon D200 with 80-200mm lens. Post production with photoshop.

Venezia Poster.

I have a passion for travel posters from the 1930s, which was probably the golden era of poster design. This poster is one of several Venice posters that I have designed.

San Giorgio Maggiore.

This is the view that most photographers cannot resist, including me. I waited for the promenading pigeons to come into my viewpoint. Nikon D200 with 17-70mm lens.

Gondolas.

Gondola is a 16th century Venetian word which means 'to rock, roll,' but don't let that put you off from taking a ride in one of the best ways of seeing Venice. Nikon D200 with 80-200mm 2.8 Nikkor lens.

Venetian Facade.

Photo montage was a lot more difficult and time consuming before Photoshop and all the other photo manipulation software. This is a combination of two photos together. The facade is seen as a negative. Nikon D200 with 17-70mm Nikkor lens.

Morning Mist, Venice.

There is a greater sense of depth and mystery when photographing in the mist. Objects in the distance lose detail and become flat shapes, or are lost altogether. Black & white photography works very well in these conditions. Nikon D70 with Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8 lens.

Venetian Window.

Venice has had so many different architectural influences over the centuries, which is one of the reasons its so interesting. Nikon D200 with 80-200mm lens.

Venetian backwater.

I could spend the rest of my life walking around Venice, and never grow tired of it. There is always something new and interesting to be discovered around the next corner. Nikon D70 with 17-70mm lens.

Fading Facade

I love the weathered patinas on old buildings. They can make a great subject to photograph. Nikon D200 with 80-200mm 2.8 lens.

Morning Walk.

Early morning is a great time to take photos. The light can be at its best, and there are fewer people to hinder you or the view. Nikon D200 with 17-70mm Nikkor lens.
