TRSW's Rome 2007 Photos

Hi Everybody,

If you are interested, I have put up the first Rome gallery from my trip

www.pbase.com/trsw/thefountainsofrome

As you can probably tell from the title, it is all about fountains. More galleries to come later. Enjoy.

Tom

WOW-- now this makes me excited for the Rome portion of my journey (22nd- 26th of this month). Do you have any input on what areas are best to stay/ eat in? And anything that REALLY shouldn't be missed?

Thanks for the link.

2mths,

Thanks. What to must see? Without knowing your interests, thats hard to stay. Where to stay? Lets just say, Rome is not as big as some people think. I walked everywhere. One place I highly recommend to eat is Tratoria Monti. It is near Santa Maria Maggorie. Great food and service.

Anselm and Kopp - Thank you so much. I thought there may have been too many photos. But I decided to break each gallery down by catagory. The next one up is The Ruins. I will post a link when it is up.

Then if that weren't enough, I will have to go through all the Paris photos (I am there now) I will let you know when those go up also.

Tom, I like the way you organize. I do the same.

In years past, I was obsessive about getting all the photos in the exact order they were taken.

Then I realized that if I clumped them together by subject, they were much easier to view, just as you are doing.

On our trip to Yellowstone in September, I categorized everything by geysers, falls, animal species, etc. Love it that way!

I'll stay tuned for the ruins, etc. Good job!

Hi there Tom! I can hardly wait until you post your Paris photos..you know the ones I mean I am sure, lol.

And as you know I so love all of your photos, they are a true work of art. Take good care.

Tom, I was delighted to see your new gallery up. Really, it's Rome as I see it in my mind's eye (if not the photos I've taken).

Thanks and I'm looking forward to more.

p.s. If I ever win the lottery, I'm bribing you to photograph my dog.

Leely,

No bribes needed. I love taking pictures of dogs. I mean, you have seen Diablos gallery. He is probably the most photographed dog in the world.

Now I am off to dinner and enjoying my last night in Paris.

Tom

What lens were you using? And did you use a tripod or handhold? I'm seriously considering the Nikon D80 and the 18-200VR lens.

Nice pics.

Wekiva,

I was using a 18-135mmVR for the D80. And i was using a 'gorillapod' instead of a tripod. Very handy little device.

Awesome! You got tremendous shots, and the light wasn't even being your friend.

Looking forward to more--and a trip report?

Leely,

Thank you. And you are right about the light not being my friend. But hey, at least I was in Rome!!

As for a trip report, click on my name, I have already started it.
