Trees

Ok so now I have ended my photos of pieces of art...

The new photo is one of the walkways in Pinerolo. It is all aournd P.zza Garibaldi.
In spite being limited to a couple of hundreds of meters, it seems to be a good perpective example.

The photo was taken while searching for drum sticks (Yes! I like to play sometimes^_^) and I like the way trees, and their colors seem to close near each other...

1/200 and f/6.3 at ISO 80 to minimize rumor...
There are several light defects in this shot... as you can see looking at leaves up there.

Dreaming stair

I really do not know who has painted this and what is its title... but is a woundrous kind of painting in my opinion!

I really like its colors, and the nearly impossible light cut near the base of the stairs...

This painting too comes out of hte teaching school in Pinerolo, of course^_^

Mole Antonelliana (1/2)

In the next couple of posts I'll show you another great thing you can see in Turin: The Mole Antonelliana.

If you want to know technical data you can go at a wiki site, so do not ask me to tel lyou when it was built and how much it is tall.. .I will only say that it is not a modern building and that it is very very tall^_^

Trough this shot I tried to show the overwhelming sensation it creates...

Just sorry for the corner of the near building... I did not saw it before shooting...

Exif tells me it was taken at f/4.0 and a shutter speed of 1/640...

This is the shot as it was taken... I could have PPit to saturate the sky (getting more blue out if it^_^) while using duplicate levels to make the building clearer and brighter while cutting off the building corner...

I prefer not to apply PP (as for all the photos of this blog till now) to show what I get out of the camera..

Bikes for rent

First day in Pinerolo, the school is not started...
With some guys and gals we're round abouting to know the place...
Near Turin bikes are a very common form of transportation, maybe once they were more used than cars...

So they have this tradition, or so I believe... without doubt there are bikes for rent every few hundred of paces (ok... ok... maybe some thousand is far more true^_^.)

In pinerolo renting a bike is something you can do trough this coin-operated columns... I've not stopped to read fares and rules... I'm not into biking^_^

But something cought my eye... the bikes seemed lines as in few use a video camera to film it's video out...
I'm justo sorry for the GRIVA advertising in the background, but you can only shoot what really is out there, aren't you ?

So here's the shoot.... C Ya next shot!

Running trough Station

I was going to Pinerolo, dawn was just pased into daylight... there were an orange tinge in the light... the train was passing trough a station, and there was a light bend on the right... a good setting for a couple of shots...

This is the one I like the most... if only we could have been there 15 minutes before.... ok ok we cannot have everything!
