Florence in Italy is one of the most beautiful Cities I’ve had the pleasure of visiting and what follows is a brief photo journal of the City, and surrounding areas. On this trip I carried with me my robust, yet somewhat aged, Canon EOS 20D digital camera supported by the impressive Canon 15mm Fisheye lens.
The Canon 15mm Fisheye lens affords a different perspective on the places I’ve visited. It’s proper home for sure would be on a full frame digital camera, nevertheless, even on one which adopts an APS-C sized sensor such as the 20D, stunning images are still possible!
A cloudy day in Fiesole. The clouds appeared with alarming speed and completely devoured this small town on the outskirts of Florence.
When wandering the streets of Florence, it is often impossible to avoid catching a glimpse of the towering Duomo.
Right next to the Duomo, is the Campinale – Giotto’s famous bell tower. For a small fee, it’s possible to climb the tower which affords stunning views of the City.
A trip to Florence isn’t complete without a walk across the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge, one of only handful of bridges which incorporates shops into it’s construction. If you manage to pick the right time, a stunning view can be had.
I love the architecture here and the fisheye was an excellent choice of lens for capturing this. For some reason your email is bouncing so I dont think my reply to your last message was sent. But excellent idea for the On Location” feature and excellent starting post.
Thanks for the comments Anthony!
