Red Sky, Black Castle

Ok this is the last shot from the previous series... this last three shots were all taken in the same morning only a few minutes from the other two.

IIRC this was the first one... I was going for a classic photo... the silhouette!

But a single silhouette is a boring one... moreover is a flat photo... I needed something to create a sensation of depth...

The main subject was the Castel Dell'Ovo A monument in Naples linked to an ancient myth... The depth was provided by the boat in the lower right...

I'm happy of this shot as it has come out exactly as I figured it out^_^

Night in Naples

I really like this shot... maybe because it is the first one I've sold, or as it was the result of "just being there at the right moment"!... honestly I can't tell the real reason.

I was driving back home after a game night in Castellammare (30 km to Naples) and while I was looking an Naples' Gulf I've seen this shot... just had to lug off the camera bag from the car and shoot this (ok ok I needed 3 or 4 shots to have it as I liked it^_^
The shot was really like I wanted it so I've not needed to crop it!
