Uploaded: September 20, 2006 23:53:55
G'day all ....
Back in Australia and glad to be back at bp - look forward to catching up with everyone!!!
Taken in Rome on the 12th August, tv30, f22, iso 200, 24-70 lens balanced on a pole as the police wouldn't let me use my tripod, mirror lock up and cable release. The moon was there but in a different place - added it later.
Have a great night!

Welcome back, Renee! Hope you had a great trip! This image is absolutely awesome - superb clarity and composition, perfect exposure - well done!I was there a couple of years ago at Christmas, and had the same experience - wasn't allowed to take my tripod past the barriers at the front of the square, even though the place was practically empty at night. Couldn't understand the logic. #3343763
