The Pantheon Rome

The Appian Way was the oldest and best known of the roman roads. It ran from Rome to Brindisi, a port in southern Italy for voyages to Greece and other eastern Mediterranean destinations. Most of the Appian Way was built in 312 B.C. by consul Appius Claudius Caecus. I do not know whether the paving stones are original.
Pantheon - Piazza della Rotonda - Roma / Rome - Lazio - Italia / Italy
The Pantheon is a building in Rome, commissioned by Marcus Agrippa as a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome, and rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in about 126 AD.
Rome wasn't built in a day and you'll need much more than a day to take in this timeless city. The city is a real-life collage of piazzas, open-air markets, and astonishing historic sites.
Rome is the capital of Italy and the largest and most populous city in the country. It covers an area of 1,285 square kilometres and has nearly 3 million residents.
Most Visited Tourist Attractions In Rome: The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Roman Forum, Spanish steps, Piazza del Campidoglio, Castel Sant’Angelo, Vatican, St. Peter’s Basilica, Colosseum, piazza Venezia, piazza Navona, piazza Barberini, piazza della Rotonda, piazza della Minerva ,piazza del Popolo etc.
Graffiti is Italian for Graffiti. I never thought I'd see anything as extreme as the New York subway but the Rome metro is quite incredible - whole carriages completely obliterated
So here we are, on the road again, and I hadn't sorted out the Sony A6000 to Snapseed interfaces.
I shoot RAW and my image transfers from this trip look meh. After 4 weeks it finally occurred to me to look at the file size. Lo and behold, thumbnail jpgs were transferred. Ugh.
This is why my cellphone images look sharp on Flickr and the A6000 images do not.
I tested shooting RAW + JPG and the good, full Rez JPG does transfer. Lesson learned.
Next thing is image processing.
I read about how Norman Seeff used to print high contrast works with a twist. He used a black stocking between the enlarger lens and paper to give a interesting softness to some of his images.
He wasn't by any means the only one to do this.
When I worked at Samy Cameras photo lab on Sunset Blvd in Hollyweird we used to do this at client request. It was really no big deal.
What was a bigger deal was our use of Agfa Portriga Rapid 111 Glossy paper. It gave a gorgeous deep walnut brown tone. We used this for may of the gallery shows we printed for various then famous photographers.
Taking the black stocking idea and borrowing tones from Portriga Rapid, it turns out, expresses pretty well how I feel about Rome.
So, here is a series of images done in an old, outdated, likely not very hip manner.
