#37, my favorite.

Bustak, thanks, I loved that shot also, I also took the bridge and just the left wall to get rid of the lights, but there was a bit of camera shake when I saw it on the monitor that I couldn't detect when viewing the screen at the time. Yes, it is the full frame 5D Mark II, which has resulted in me already having to buy some new cards, the biggest RAW file to date is 32MB plus.

Nawty, you really are a sad bastard. You up for lunch tomorrow?

**Bobcock** · 21-01-2009, 03:29 PM

Yup..

BC, a couple of days ago I played around w/ the new 5d (the camera used to take these photos) & it felt like magic. The guy at the shop put a 50mm USM lens on it & it was incredible.

Congrats!

Apparently he is devising a plan to get the next one that he wants. Around 250k baht now.

Yet his plan is for 2 years time, it will take him that long to figure out and save enough for the camera AND a holiday for the missus to the most romantic destination on earth....Australia.

**Bobcock** · 29-01-2009, 11:48 AM

Utter fabrication.

The 1Ds Mark III is 228,000 and has the same processor as my current camera.

I have no intention of buying one.

The good thing about photography is that you are always learning, therefore you can go back over a set of photos and see things you missed before.

So I've been revisiting my Venice pics, there were a lot of them and plenty of new ideas coming to mind, so I'm going to add some more as I look at them.

54. Basilica De San Marco at dawn, shame about the scaffolding.

55. Campanile de San Marco at dawn, taken from same place and at same time as pic 54.

56. Plaza San Marco

57. Silhouette of Campanile de San Marco at dawn, the rising sun low behind.

**Bobcock** · 21-10-2010, 10:15 AM

58. Statues in front of the Camponile de San Marco.

59. Gondolas from the top of Camponile de San Marco.

60. San Giorgio Maggiorie Island from Camponile San Marco. Taken early morning, bloody freezing.

61. Gondolas. This is actually a new take on one of the photos taken before

62. Venetians were religious, probably still are, lots of these around the place.

Love the pics Bobcock, and a great location for a shoot.

This would explain all the flooding then.
