izardJust returned from Venice. My mom came over from Russia, spent some time with her friends in Reinland and northern Germany and then we went for a short trip to Venice. (It is her first visit to the western Europe so we wanted to show her some other country besides Germany.)
I read several times that it is very easy to make a nice pice in Venice. The safest bet is to shoot a view to any canal, provided that there is enough light. Indeed it turned out to be too easy to spot an image that is not too bad.
All stains and imperfections only improve the image.
Some times it is a bit difficult to decide which buildings are vertical.
The belltowers are always vertical, right?
Or are they not?
A view from a gondola is not very special.
Gondola does not add any magic - views from public Vaporetto buses are the same.
And the last pic in the post is the most famous pic of a canal that 99.9% of the tourists take:
