          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 […]

Above all in the city, the snow certainly creates many inconveniences. However, it is also capable of shaping unique landscapes and covering and transforming entire cities with its white mantle. However, the feeling of fascination that the snowy landscape arouses prevails at the feeling of love and hate. The atmosphere that creates the snow is […]

It’s heavy, it’s big, it covers part of your viewfinder, it takes a lot run to focus properly, it’s VERY expensive, so why…. Because it gives you a special feeling that it’s not easy to explain writing a short post. A lot of users say that having the 50 Summilux there is no need for the […]

This is another nice place to see in Venice; far away from the most touristic areas but still not impossible to walk in front of it; the sign (nizioleto, as Venetians use to call it) literally translated says: “Covered walk for the astrologist (or magician)” and suggest that in the past this kind of person […]
