I like the color one better Tim. Btw, is it just me, or is there a vertical line that's lighter in your image? Just right of center, above the tall building in the background.

I thought I read somewhere that the have a corporate sponsor now who is dumping all kinds of funds into restoration?

Oh, here it is:
$36 million USD from a shoe maker who is on the board for Ferrari, Maserati and Louis Vuitton. Construction starts September 2011.

I recall my wife's cousins talking about that when we were there. You'd think with all the people paying to go in there, they could take a few dollars to replace the lights though.

Just a matter of time before they become commercialized, just like our cities here.

BTW, pics of Florence are cool. In that 2nd pic, I bought my son a little motorcycle right at that point on the left.

- Day Picture -



Sorry, reminiscing...please carry on.

Hmmm, and others tend to think BMW drivers are elitists. Go figure

Should have used shutter priority or manual. Go for the time and keep the lens wide open to let in as much light as you can. F10 which you shot at wouldn't apply for the things you were shooting at, you didn't need it and could have gotten away with something else.
