A Glissando of Gondolas

A Glissando of Gondolas
If a group of larks is called an exultation, what do you call a bunch of gondolas? A glory of gondolas? A glide? A glissando? OK, maybe I'm going overboard but it is hard not to wax poetic about these slender craft in Venice. I took way too many iPhone shots of them and love them all. I used Slow Shutter Cam to actually paint these moored craft in the dawn light on the Riva degli Schiavoni. I used to think that the light in Titian's paintings was enhanced by a significant amount of imagination but now I see he was just painting what was right in front of him.


I moved the camera during 16 exposures with Average Cam Pro app to create this etched drawing effect.
Simply HDR app help pop this shot of a gondola whispering down the canal.
