Nice flare and its use in this composition

[littlejt]

cool..! did you use a special filter to get that rainbow flare eeffect?

[gerald63]

It was one of those rare moment that the composition was just right. Took it using a 17-40L with a CPL attached.

The sun was on the top left hand corner shinig into lens. Initial thought was to just overexpose the top left corner of the shot but never realise that I got this extra special effect.
BTW, the guy seems to be enjoying the sleep in the sun and its probably due to winter.

Magical Rome
Transited through Rome several times when travelling on business to Europe, but never got a chance to stopover
Thanks for sharing your photos. Very nice.

Thanks. Only 2 days in Rome. 4 full days would be just right. Rome looks better in the night. The lighting effects on the classical buildings is simply mesmerising. Not forgetting the rich history of Rome dating back BC.

The Vatican Muesum, St Peter’s Basilica, St Paul’s Basilica, Collosuem and the ancient ruin are must visit places. No regrets. The architectual and artifacts inside the building would give you the WOW! Just set your ISO to 1600 and just snap away without using tripod. That’s what I did and the shots were good. On the street, just walk around and you will see alot of interesting ancient buildings also.
