Rome!

I'm back, and have begun sorting out all the horrendously overexposed shots from my full 8GB memory card. Here are a few that I've tidied up briefly.

And more to come!

Thanks! I'll have a twiddle with the perspective for those ones. There were so many times (especially in St Peter's) that I would have killed to get all the other tourists out for just 5 minutes. Every shot has a head cropped out just out of the frame! I have a great straight-on shot of 4, but some douche walked in front of me so I had to angle upwards

E: any better now?

Couple more

Yeah I did consider that (I don't have one, but I did long for a big stopper at the time). I didn't bring my tripod anyway, because frankly the amount of walking we did would have crippled me if I was carrying it!

Last one for tonight. Beautiful view from the cupola of St Peter's (well worth the 550 stairs!). Not sure what went wrong on the left edge of the frame, but at least the main centro 'storico is sharp enough (for a kit lens anyway

)

Also available in widescreen! (wishing I had shot more of the left side to balance it, but it was pretty rubbish urban stuff)

The columns were one of the few shots where I felt I knew what the composition had to be. That's the outer ring, and the inner ring was teeming with tourists just out of shot so we were lucky to get one without distracting people in it.

No Sistine Chapel because we were stupid enough to go on a Sunday

Next time!

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Thanks chaps, and thanks for the heads-up Ray. Still want to see it though!
