Dawn from St. Mark's Square

Venice, Italy. Larger on Black

 

This is the last shot my ill-fated Fugi Finepix ever did. About 10 minutes after I took this, and disappointed with the quality of the shots, I decided to take some close ups of the gondolas. That didn't work out great, because I slipped on the marble steps that lead down to the water, smashed the camera and got soaked for my trouble. I watched the detached lens float off happily, and sink into the murky water. Drenched, I plodded back sheepishly to the hotel to clean up and and to ask where I could buy a camera. I turned on the smashed lens-less camera a little later...it helpfully informed me that there was a "lens error". Surprise, surprise.

 

It wasn't all bad though...later that morning I bought my Canon G9 which has played a blinder since then. This image is 8 photos merged with PS3.
