I was away this weekend, shooting a wedding in Venice with Tom Wicky. It's a city I haven't visited before, and while I didn't have a great deal of time to explore it during this trip, it's definitely somewhere I'd like to visit again. I'll post a few shots from the wedding over the next few days, but in the meanwhile here's a diptych I shot in Venice airport.

In case you're wondering what you're looking at: these are semi-transparent overlays on the outside windows. I did think about posting just one of them, but didn't think either of them worked especially well on their own. Both were shot with my Ricoh GRD III.

I love this point of view, with all these persons of different size walking... :)

Beautiful! It made me a little dizzy at first and I liked the effect! :)

Welcome in my town! I wonder what you was able to find here with your camera!

Very cool perspective, and the processing is just fantastic!

What a weird place to have a wedding. Which one is the groom?

Anyway...

Looks like this was taken in the 60's. Cool shots.

Not the usual Venice shot :)
They do have a habit putting up strange covering's on their buidlings over there... although it certainly beats the usual scaffolding you see over here... and is that Sean Connery I see?
If you hadn't mentioned it was 2 shots I'd never have guessed... it works so well with them sisde by side, with the way you've toned it, that it just looks naturally part of the same structure.

Interesting shot! Took me a few minutes to get perspective!

Crazy shot! Intriguing since it's difficult to make out what's happening.

This definitely makes you question what is real. At first I thought it was created using reflections. I love the ambiguity and I agree, they work really well together.
