Back from Rome (again) - pictures !
Hi all,
We just got back from Rome - what a great experience ! It was our second time in this magnificent city, so we already knew where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see and to do.
As always, I brought back a lot of pictures. This time I enjoyed photographing with a small P&S camera - I still took my whole SLR kit, but walking around with just a small camera was such a joy that I ended up using it much more (in spite all the limitations of such cameras).
So, the pictures are here - http://www.pbase.com/olegis/rome_2007 . I haven't uploaded all the pictures yet, so be sure to check the gallery again in a few days for updates
Have a nice day,
Oleg

Love your pictures. I am also interested in the P&S camera you used. My son is in Rome as we speak and we will be going for the first time in May. Looking forward to more pictures. Will you be writing a report of your trip?

Thanks all
Sandi, I set the camera on a small tabletop tripod (Manfrotto 709) and used self-timer and mirror lock option. This way I could use some long exposure times - for example this picture (http://www.pbase.com/olegis/image/75660583) was shot at f8.0 and shutter speed of 15 seconds. This small tripod is surprisingly steady even with relatively large and heavy camera like Canon 10D. There is no way I could get these amounts of light without tripod !
