The Colosseum @ Rome, Italy
Canon EOS 5DSR
Canon TS-E 24MM F3.5 II
I really love to be in Rome. It is a city that reminds of the great as well as bad things that human being have achieved over past many thousands of years. At the same time the Colosseum has to be my favorite building to do night photography.
Last summer there was serious water crisis in Rome. They had to close down several fountains including the famous one at the St Peter's Square. The water pressure of Trevi Fountain was also reduced. You can see those yelled grass there. Those used to be green. But lack of rain started making them yellow and probably die eventually!
I have taken this shot so many times before. But this time I was there for my colleague who was very interested in this location. So I also took the opportunity to have one with the 5DSR; which has way superior image quality than my previous 5D3. This image has so much detail. I can clearly read even those smaller words.
Ok, don't ask me about that moon. That is a bit of fantasy that goes with that shot. :)
Another great story about this image was my discovery to TSE architecture photography. In my 2010 trip to Rome; I was very disappointed with my architecture images. All the buildings were looking like they were about to fall down. So I started reading a bit as I didn't know about the TSE lenses till then. After a bit of research I figured out the concept of TSE and understood that either I have take a much wider image and lens correct the falling building or I need to get one of those very expensive TSEs.
Initially I was a bit hesitant due to the price tag. Again after some reading; I finally went for them. It ended up being the best decision I made about a photographic equipment choice. After that there was no turning back. Now a days I almost entirely capture my architecture images with those TSEs.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend whatever is still remaining.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
