  3. AMAZING photos, but my favorite is definitely the Trevi Fountain – wonderful new perspective on it.

    • Wow, thanks John. The best time to take a photo of the Trevi Fountains was at night. It was so crowded during the day, but after midnight, it’s nearly deserted.

    • Thank you Leigh, that is a huge compliment. Rome was a very inspiring city. I only wish I had more time there and better weather. But then again, I’d have too many photos to choose from if we had too much time there.

  20. Absolutely amazing photos guys. Is there somewhere you run through your equipment and post processing techniques for shots such as these? I’m wondering if you could make my home time of Swindon, England, look as attractive as this too?!

    Will - Gap Daemon May 6, 2012 at 4:54 am Reply
    • Hey Will, I used long exposures and a 6 stop ND filter for the Trevino Fountain to get the smooth water effect. All on a tripod of course.

  32. Great shots. We didn’t have time to visit Rome on this trip to Italy since we have both been there before, but I know we will be back. We stayed at a pretty awesome hostel there while in transit though.

  33. All I can say is… WOW! I never thought the Trevi Fountain would look so good in black and white. Plus that angel cemetery shot is stunning.

  42. These images are intriguing and somewhat regal, fantastic to look at!

    My favourite image is ‘The Watchful eye in the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome’ her long wings and the fact that she is headless is very unique in comparison to the other headstones.

    Loco2 June 6, 2012 at 6:14 am Reply
    • Thank you Loco2. I think that this is the most captivating piece for sure. We were told that she has been replicated all over the world. There is actually a head there, it is just dangling very low. Dave chose to take the photo from this angle, it does make for a very captivating shot.

  46. Excellent photo of the Vittorio Emanuele II Monument in Rome.

    St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius? Very good.

    The Trevi Fountain is wonderful, but it had problems recently! The Colosseum and the Roman Forum are amazing.
