In this video I visit the Rialto Bridge
in Venice for a 15 minute
photo challenge.
Hello I'm Gavin Hoey
and you're watching AdoramaTV
brought to you by Adorama,
the camera store that's got
everything for us photographers
and today you join me in Venice
for the Rialto Bridge
I'm going to do a 15-minute
photo challenge.
Okay let's get it going
we've got 15 minutes
to walk across this bridge,
see if we can get some good
pictures. I'm always going to do
what I do in a new location
and that's take the obvious picture first,
which is well look
gondolier, woohoo!
There we go, yeah, tick done that one.
Obvious view of the bridge,
wait for the bus to go by,
fantastic,
and then I like to do panoramas,
so I always like doing panoramas
when I'm in a new place.
It really tells the scene,
so I'm going to walk over there a bit,
get a panorama.
So here we go.
First things first,
establish an exposure,
let's go with an aperture of f/5.6
giving me 1/320th of a second,
switch to manual mode,
dial those numbers in.
Okay round we go.
Perfect, lets go.
As always of the 15 minute photo
challenge, I've only got one lens,
in this case it's the Olympus 12-40mm.
It's a nice little middle-of-the-road lens,
it should give me some choices,
right now,
I wish had a longer lens but you know,
you make the most of what you got.
Okay it's still fairly early
but it's pretty packed up here already.
We might get a gap,
got to see what's in the middle,
everyone stands in the middle
Let's go find out why?
Oh that's why, yeah.
So it's easy to get caught up
in what's going on around
and not look up and down.
So looking up
is always a good thing to do,
have a little look up.
Alright, ahh.
It's moments like this,
I wish I had a more telephoto lens
but that's the joy of the 15 minute challenge
you get what you get.
That feels pretty good.
I like that,
okay.
Okay let's walk down this side of it.
Right let's take a picture of here.
Yeah.
Oh!
Let's try the other side.
It must be early,
half the shops are shut,
okay so plan is to try and do an HDR
but an HDR when people are moving is,
well I don't think it's going to work
but I'm going to try anyway.
We've got, ooh, how long have we got left?
Not long,
so you have to pick your moments
and hope
that they don't move too much,
so what I'm trying to do
is find it when there's nobody
really in my foreground.
This isn't something you
could do when this place gets busy
and well let's see if that works.
So we're pretty much at the end
of the 15 minutes
and I guess if you don't get
in a gondola in Venice
then photograph one.
The next best thing, yeah?
Fabulous, okay there we are
Gondola picture done.
Okay well there we go
our 15 minutes has come
and gone
and I think I've got some good
shots but I'm not going to know
until I get them back
on the computer.
You've already seen them,
so you know what I've done.
