Iconic Burano – A glimpse on the island of a thousand colors

Iconic Burano – A glimpse on the island of a thousand colors.

Iconic Burano. A view of the colorful houses of Burano, taken from the Love Viewing Bridge in a sunny day of spring. The direction of this canal points to Venice, 45 minutes away by “vaporetto”. This is quite a rare photograph: despite this spot has been photographed a billion times, a well executed long exposure made with a tripod is a different matter; this because these “fondamenta” are always overcrowded and, most critical, the tiny wooden bridge shudders under the “heavy steps” of passing people, ruining the shot.

Corsair’s mirror. Sunset over the western coast of Sardinia. In this photograph I’ve played with the opposites: the emptiness of the sky with the richness of the foreground; the intersection between the harshness of the rocks and the clean stillness of the water of the puddle within.

The land of light and wind – Sunset over the island of Pan di zucchero

The land of light and wind. Island of Pan di zucchero, Western Sardinia, Italy.

The land of light and wind. Sunset over the island of Pan di zucchero, in the western coast of Sardinia. The extremely windy day allowed me to take full advantage of the long exposure: the setting sun painted the clouds with a warm light along their entire way, while the soft and ethereal form of the sea accentuated the rough spiky shapes of the rocks.
