Getting lost is great



I went out night shooting with the Canon, it’s actually the first time I brought out the baby since I’ve been here. All the other shots were taken with the point and shoot…I really should have bought a remote that has a longer range! Can you see me running back and forth to catch this shot? Heeelarious!

After some trial and error on the white balance, the artificial lighting here makes everything look yellow, I was off and running for almost 3 hours around Florence

shooting. At one point I had no idea where I was. I am thinking that is always why I like taking a shooting partner with me, if I let the camera lead he always tends to get me lost. Eventually I found my way back home without a map so that means I’m getting the hang of the city. Getting lost led me to this great wall art which I altered a bit in Photoshop for fun.

I’m going to flood the Flickr account with shots because I’m not sure the blog is the right place to view them all, it would end up like a photo album soon. Can you tell I’m working on balance here?

    Hey Elisa! You look so cute and jubilant in that picture, I love it. You have inadvertently spurred me to my first ever blog. It looks addictive and fun. I have only to scratch the surface of your blog, it looks so damn cool. I don't know where to begin with mine but thanks. Your a true friend. I will get back, looks fantastic there, what a freakin' adventure! p.s. don't forget your hat! =)

    In your honor, I netflix "Under the Tuscany Sun"; now you have to find a great place that serves lemon cello or make yourself. I believe you may want to take the map with you when you go photo hounding around the city. Geo say's HI!

    Lemoncello huh Alice? We had some at the shop and I never drank it. It must taste much better when actually in Italy!
