Day or night always a beautiful city, but you do specialize in these wonderful night images. The blue always jumps out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night shot
ReplyDeleteI'm scared from that type of statues. It is too big to be a comfortable sight. By the way at the moment I shot a picture in sync with lightening I think I saw a space ship running on theory of improbability :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I embiggened it and you did a great job, VP. Colors are grand - just the right time with the blue sky meeting the earth and the lighting is superb, and the photo is tack sharp!
ReplyDeleteYes!
It looks beautiful at night, and the square was empty! When did you take the photo...what time to get such a perfectly still area. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe plaza looks so romantic at night. And I'm amazed that there are no people!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the effect of mixed lights at night!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful square and such an imposing gentleman - he really towers over everything - or seems to. Super shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous monument and the blue so intense even at night! Wonderful piazza!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend dear friends
Léia
Superb night photo!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent light and colors!
ReplyDeleteDidn't you say you weren't any good at night shots? I think you were just fishing for compliments! ;-)
ReplyDeleteDoes the Fosso Reale flow for real, or just on the hideous advertisement? I like the Mediterranean nights!
ReplyDeleteHappy theme day!
Night at Stockholm by pixels
@ Kate - It was few minutes to 10 PM.
ReplyDelete@ ciel - This and few others, are the sparse fruits of a technique not much different from the one I use for shooting flying gulls.
@ Peter - The Fosso Reale has a minimal flow induced by waters pumped from the local power station to prevent stagnation.
Is there a name for that color blue? This is such a delicious shot. The buildings against that blue sky, looks almost like a film set. And that statue wears the sky as if it had been created just for him.
ReplyDeleteVery artistic, perfect NIGHT shot! Simply beautiful - love the "Piazza Cavour" by night
ReplyDeleteNice capture! I like the color of the sky!
ReplyDeleteVery well illuminated and framed for the photo. Superb!

That's a great photo. Beautiful sky too!
ReplyDeleteLike mine, VP, your night shot has captured so much light that it is hard to credit that it is night. I like this very much,. The lighting of the square is very sympathetic to the statue.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful night shot. So much color for it being almost 10 pm. I love the blue in the sky and the green/turquoise that comes out in the building to the left of the statue.
ReplyDeleteI really like this picture and I love the color of the sky next to the color of the buildings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night capture . . . you caught enough light in the sky to make it interesting and set off the statue and buildings.
ReplyDeleteThe light is amazing! Wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteNice choice for the theme day. I love the color of the sky.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic night photo with that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful. The lit-up buildings really enhance the view of the statue.
ReplyDeleteBTW - I owe you a thank you...I couldn't decide what photo to post for TD and I saw yours and selected the Neptune & plaza. THAT's why ours are kind of similar.
PS - the statue leaning forward against the blue sky is so dramatic.
ReplyDeleteHey, I know I'm late to comment on the theme, but the sky is gorgeous. I like the picture a lot:)
