Postcard shots of Venice - Grand Canal

The place was full of Americans!!

The famous Bridge of Sighs

all the above and this taken with the Leica Q = 28mm - some cropped a little around the edges

Very nice images - definitely postcard style but great composition and quality. I guess you'd expect that from the Leica, but the photographer makes a huge difference, so well done.

Many thanks Lindsay, much appreciated

Here's another taken with the marvellous Leica Q, Typ 116 - 24mp sensor

Looking across at the island of Giudecca from St Mark's Square

Very nice, pics 3&4 are very good

Lovely images Bill, but the main island you are looking across to is San Giorgio di Maggiore, there's a little of Giudecca on the right hand side,

I've got plenty of images from the same viewpoint, and the one island I have not been on is Giudecca. That's for November....

Back to image quality, the light is fantastic and the pictures brings Venice to life,

Thanks Peter - obviously you are correct - with my wife looking over my shoulder "I told you that was San Giorgio di Maggiore" - she is always right!

anyway we had a meal on Giudecca and the waiter was from Bangladesh and we got talking about cricket and he informed me that he was a wicket keeper for the local side, Venice, cricket!!! ........ which was a surprise.
If we go again - we will according to me wife, we plan to stay on Giudecca which is much quieter than the main "island" - some friends of ours did the same and agreed

weather was mixed but when the sun came out it was marvellous

Nikon Zf - this time

Please let me know of the restaurant's name on Giudecca if you recommend a meal there. Funnily enough, one of the chefs at our local Italian in Kew worked in Venice and remembered my other half from a visit she and a friend made there a few years ago...
