Santa Maria della Salute from Ponte dell'Accademia

The Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute (17th century) stands impressively at the beginning of Venice's Grand Canal. Unfortunately, large parts of the facade were currently being renovated, but from the Ponte dell'Accademia you still had an uninterrupted view of the church. This bridge is one of only four bridges that cross the Grand Canal. I took photos at dawn with ISO 8000 and 1/40 s, which shows the moving boat without any motion blur. Since the Ponte dell'Accademia is a wooden bridge, it is not immune to vibrations created by passing pedestrians, so it is not easy to take long exposures here. I tried to eliminate the noise that is inevitable when shooting at high ISOs in post-production.
