A Walk to Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute…

by on Feb.24, 2018, under Life, Photography

My wife and I were keen to explore so we headed out for a walk. Our daughters weren’t so keen and decided to veg out around the apartment.

NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 90 mm, 1/100 sec at f/8, ISO 400

I decided to head south west (away from the touristy areas) towards the Ponte dell’Accademia (or Accademia bridge). It is one of only four bridges which span the Grand Canal in Venice. It’s actually a very popular location for photographers so I was planning to come back here at sunset one day anyway.

NIKON D750 + 28.0-300.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 98 mm, 1/1250 sec at f/5.3, ISO 100

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

Once there I decided to head right around to the Basilica of St Mary of Health – the one you can see in the view from the bridge – and another location I had planned to come to at sunrise or sunset to do some photography (you can see a pattern emerging here I’m sure :)).
