The Rio di Cannaregio turns into a real water stage with a show that every year attracts thousands of spectators, where floating structures transfer the theme of Carnival to the water: “Game, Love and Folly”. “AMORIS CAUSA” Onore alla più saggia delle follie. Passione e follia danzano insieme al suono di serenate lontane e promesse […]

I’m in love with my city: Venice. There are no enough words to describe how much beauty this town is in the early morning. Silence, quiet, there are people walking fast to arrive at the workplace on time, market set up… and then there are us. Small group indeed but very good photographers. We spent about […]

  Carnival of Venice – Carnevale di Venezia 2020 Saturday, February 8 – Tuesday, February 25 Imagine yourself in the early morning mist of Saint Mark’s Square, known as the Piazza San Marco. There you will enjoy the beautiful morning light… light like nowhere on earth as you experience the most elaborate artistic masks and costumes, […]

          During the past year a lot of my followers have been asking me when I will re-open the E-learning section… Well, HERE IT IS!!! As in the past, you can buy a set of e-learning hours (5 or 10) that you can spend in no more than 6 month. Based on […]

This is not a new story, indeed. I use, since 2005, to organize this one day workshop only on request, because it takes about two and half hours driving form Venice to Cortina, if no traffic junk. But Cortina and it’s surrounding is a single place and also is a MUST to see and visit, […]

Sunny morning in Venice. Humidity is around 85% and this make you feel cooler than the real temperature but it’s good anyway. This is also helping the group to be awake. Meeting time at 7:30am. Camera around the neck, battery charged, film uploaded (yes, FILM… someone is still using it, ME INCLUDED), light meter, ONLY […]

During my workshops, this question show up a lot of times: “How can you still use a Manual Focus rangefinder camera, if you like to shoot sports events?” My reply is always the same: “Knowing your camera and, in particular, it’s limit”. Using a rangefinder, one of the most “heavy” limit is because you can’t […]

Car is a car; simply to say and to write down. This is not through for “engine lovers” or “car design lovers”, people most interested to car design that to pure performances. Thinking to car silhouettes there are named show up in seconds to my mind. Pininfarina, Giugiaro, Da Silva, Callum, Stevens… these are few […]

These images are results from daily shots in Venice during a sunny day. I used my new M10-P and one of the most powerful lens made by Leica: the Tri-Elmar MATE (you have a short description here) at 50mm. I’m not adding any information on nature and use of the ND filters, the web is so rich […]

I’m running couple of Basic Photo Courses; nothing very hard to follow, no more than 6 or 7 lessons to give a good ideas to beginners on how to take better photos, no matter which camera they are using. Here one example of “composition on the road”. I run my Courses or Workshop mainly in Venice but […]
