Do you remember what time of day this was taken in, it's such a nice shot and I was just wondering since the shadows give it such a great feel.

Posted by Susie at January 8, 2007 04:40 AMYou've been lucky, then! That's one of the most original and beautiful churches in Rome, S. Ivo alla Sapienza made by Bernini, and it's not always open to the public. Great shot!
Posted by paolo at January 8, 2007 04:56 AMexcellent shot!
Posted by fabrizio at January 8, 2007 05:15 AMBeautiful city magnified but your wonderful shot. I like those arcades and the composition.

Posted by Mansour at January 8, 2007 06:48 AMA nice place to rest...
Posted by Jonas at January 8, 2007 07:03 AMWoah. I don't remember running into this. We were in Rome in late March, though, so we didn't have any real need for shade.
Nice shot, though.
Posted by mwg at January 8, 2007 07:57 AMThis is Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza, masterpiece of Francesco Borromini. Have you entered? the dome is incredible!
Posted by Carlos at January 8, 2007 08:00 AMgood shot, sky colors look a bit odd, would you tell me your customized WB setup?
Posted by Shen at January 8, 2007 08:09 AMWhat a beautiful shot. I really like how you captured the building and the sky as a whole. Any chance of a wall paper size?
Posted by Tim at January 8, 2007 08:11 AMLove the dramatic perspective and the "vanishing point" effect. Very nice job!
Posted by pixels.in.my.head at January 8, 2007 08:21 AMBeautiful like close-to-everything else here. Great colours.
Posted by Veracon at January 8, 2007 08:22 AMGlad you found this place, it's beautiful.
Posted by Laurie at January 8, 2007 08:54 AMGreat shot. I really like the perspective and the whiteness against the dark sky. Nice job!
Posted by Alice at January 8, 2007 09:11 AMسلام.
شکوه و عظمت این ساختمان با هنرنمایی شما دوچندان شده است.
ممنون.
فقط یک سوال داشتم شما برای ثبت چنین تصویری از لنز هم استفاده کرده اید؟
اگر امکان دارد توضیحی هر چند کوتاه در مورد این عکس بفرمایید.
Wow this is an incredible shot! Great perspective
Posted by Steve at January 8, 2007 11:05 AMI love this photo...maybe it's the Star Wars nerd in me, but somehow this picture reminds me of small storm troopers! Or maybe it's just me...
Posted by Melanie Oliveira at January 8, 2007 11:12 AMgreat wide angle. what is this place?
Posted by Andrew at January 8, 2007 11:37 AMVery nice symmetry. Shadows are very interesting.
Posted by Nick at January 8, 2007 12:12 PMCool perspective
Posted by Fred.B at January 8, 2007 12:14 PMTerrific perspective and composition.
Posted by Brant at January 8, 2007 12:30 PMGreat! I like it!
Thnx!
Sam - fantastic, again you got a very nice perspective. You use that 10mm angle with great creativity.
Must have been a hard shot since the differenmce between bright sun on marble and dark dshade must have exceeded the 5 stops you get on a digital SLR - how did you do it?

Not as good as Sam's but it is an amazing building.
This is great! Two opinions about who built this - Bernini or Borromini, and they were great rivals too. But a spot of internet searching indicates that Borromini was the man. It's a great shot, I didn't think I liked baroque till I went to Rome, but there it all seemed to make more sense.
Posted by Karen at January 8, 2007 03:30 PMabsolutely stunning.
Posted by angie at January 8, 2007 04:39 PMWhat a lovely photo! Those huge baroque buildings embracing the lilliputian army of plastic chairs under this dramatic sky! I really love it! I love all your photos though!
Posted by ioanna at January 8, 2007 05:23 PMBeautiful buildings! Love the tones and sky.
Posted by Craig at January 8, 2007 05:47 PMhmm.. got to say that it is one of your best shots. Very nice symmetry.
Posted by Santhosh at January 8, 2007 06:58 PMWell, it might have been a hot day, but the photo you took is totally HOT!! The angle, the perspective, the architecture... just Awesome! :) Because of the angle, the building looks like a butterfly, just a very heavy one!
Posted by Kimberly Way at January 8, 2007 11:30 PMWhat a great place to end up in. You captured a wonderful image of it too. I need to get one of those 10mm's.
Posted by Jack at January 9, 2007 12:32 AMthat's true! it's Borromini... shame on me!!
Posted by paolo at January 9, 2007 04:38 AMCrazy 10-22 mm... Seems like you're surrounded by a huge invasion of white ! Very nice photo.
Posted by Jerome Roussin at January 9, 2007 05:26 AMUhh - The symmetry - The myted colors... Sweet shot!
- Martin
Beautiful!!
Posted by pll at January 9, 2007 05:19 PMThe world that you live in is so wide - It's amazing that your shots always come from a perspective that wows the audience, especially because you capture so many things with such a wide lens.
Keep them coming!
Posted by Darren at January 10, 2007 10:14 AMGreat Pictures!
