Colosseum taken at night on 7th August 2018 with a Canon EOS 40D and Tamron 28-300mm lens at 28mm; ISO 3200, 1/30s, f/3.5.
I couldn’t believe I got this shot of the Colosseum. In my 10 days in Rome, we had good light every single day. It was mind-blowing but also exhausting—because it meant waking up for sunrise. Every. Single. Day.
We’ve visited Rome around the Ides of March, a date not just of historic relevance but also close to the March equinox when sunrise and sunset align perfectly east-west. And that gave plenty of opportunities that I had not planned for.
After visiting the Roman Forum early that day, we walked further just to see the Colosseum up close. Most spots from which I wanted to take photos didn’t work out because a lot was closed off due to the marathon at the same time. But once we almost completed the circle, I noticed a small patch of sun on the ground. I quickly went, dialed down the aperture of the camera, and took the shot. I had literally only a few seconds to get the shot, and thankfully it came out right. Just after this, a school group arrived, and the place was starting to get really busy.
Sometimes, you need to get lucky.

The Colosseum or Coliseum (/kɒləˈsiːəm/ kol-ə-SEE-əm), also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio [aŋfiteˈaːtro ˈflaːvjo] or Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]), is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-faced concrete,[1] it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in AD 72,[2] and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus.[3] Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).[4] These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).

The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

The Roman Colosseum or Coliseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commisioned in AD 72 by Emperor Vespasian. It was completed by his son, Titus, in 80, with later improvements by Domitian.
A pre dawn capture of the Colosseum captured my first morning in Rome. The comments and views are always appreciated and have a great Wednesday!

Interior shot from the perhaps most iconic building in Rome. This amphitheatre (also known as Flavian Amphitheatre) was built 70-80 A.D. by emperor Vespasian and Titus (with additional work done under the following emperor, Domitian). The Colosseum is still an imposing building, although it has been robbed of quite a lot of its materials and has been damaged by earthquakes. It once could hold more than 50,000 spectators and is the largest amphitheatre in the world.

The Colosseum is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. It was built during the Roman Empire and its original Latin name was Amphitheatrum Flavium. The name Colosseum has long been believed to be derived from a colossal statue of Nero nearby, which does not exist nowadays.
El Coliseo es un anfiteatro de la época del Imperio romano, construido en el siglo I d. C. y ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Roma. Originalmente era denominado Anfiteatro Flavio (Amphitheatrum Flavium), en honor a la Dinastía Flavia de emperadores que lo construyó, y pasó a llamarse Colosseum por una gran estatua que había cerca, el Coloso de Nerón.
Largest ancient amphitheater of the Imperial Rome.
Impossible to get a shot without people in the frame during the visit. Anyway, one of my many shots. Had fun with some post processing with this one.

A shot of the Colosseum taken at night. I used my 10/20 lens and this was shot hand-held.
This structure had me deep in thought...nearly 2000 years old.
Merry Christmas to you all and my we enjoy our great hobby photography together in 2017 ...

The one and only seriously famous Roman Colosseum in Rome :-) And not the usual view of the exterior but a wide angle of where the action happened. The Gladiators, tigers and all the cool stuff. !!
