[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 822638, member: 53455"] That sounds like a sensible anchor! To say nothing of the dawgs, of course. :giggle: I will try to show you life in France and other European countries through my photos, then. Talking about European countries, how about a short trip to Rome, Italy? This is a photo of Saint Peter’s I took in 2012. To have this view of the basilica, you have to get into Castel Sant’ Angelo, walking half a mile from inside the Vatican via the secret passage known as the “Passetto” (re-read your Dan Brown if you need to be briefed on the subject), which is the shortest way on foot. Of course, to be there to shoot at night, you need to have been authorized to set foot, first inside Saint Peter’s at night, then inside Castel Sant’ Angelo at night, not to mention climb on top of its keep... but in Rome, that sort of thing can be arranged if you know the right people. ;) Shot on a tripod with a Nikon D3S and a Nikkor 70-200mm ƒ/2.8 II G lens.
