Venice and its seagulls - MyPictureDay Submission
Hello everyone! This is my entry for #mypictureday contests #photography by @timsaid
Two days ago I visited Venice to collect material for my latest project here on Steemit:
Discovering Venice with alequandro!
I have visited many incredible places and I have collected material that I will publish a little at a time.
It was a beautiful day as you can see in my previous posts and among the many things that caught my attention, I was fascinated by the gulls that were flying over the people.
It seemed to me that they enjoyed the view of the city from above.

It does not happen every day to photograph a seagull with the background of a golden mosaic. He was flying in front of the façade of the Basilica of San Marco.

I also did this shot in San Marco square.
You can see the columns with the Corinthian capitals and polychrome marbles in the background.
I wanted to give a severe appearance, with an antique look.

I took this last picture because the sky was really nice and after a cold and gloomy winter, I could not resist !! :D
All photos were taken with a Hoya Fusion circular polarizing filter
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Good day everyone!
That Basilica of San Marco looks like a really interesting spot, I assume you are going to be including that on your "Discovering Venice" series?
Those gulls must have been really close if you were using a 45mm. Best of luck with #mypictureday
Yes, I will do a post dedicated to Piazza San Marco.
Yes the seagulls were close but consider that my Olympus has a crop factor x2. therefore, the actual focal length would be 90mm.
