Venice, Italy. Bellissimo! Bellissimo is the absolute superlative of the adjective “bello” (meaning that there’s nothing better at all). So, when I say “questo città è bellissimo” it translates to “this city is very, very, very beautiful”. Bellissimo Venice! I add the exclamation point because Venice holds a special place […]
Read MoreOh look! It’s a beautiful elk! He looks so powerful and strong. He’s making lots of loud elk noises, so he’s obviously not very happy. So what do I do? Go up to the fence to get a photo. But a photo isn’t enough. I want a video!
As you can see, my unhappy elk did NOT appreciate being filmed one bit! I guess it’s lucky that he didn’t jump over the fence to let me know. I could have been the featured story on Romania’s Dumbest Tourists segment. It would have served me right.
Afterwards – when I could hold my camera again without shaking – I was able to get another shot that I was proud of. From a LONG distance away!
For me, it’s so easy to get caught up in the moment while practicing travel photography. It’s all about capturing that perfect instant in time to share. So far I’ve twisted my ankle (twice!) and skinned my knees on volcanic rock while trying to get a perfect shot, but fortunately nothing too scary.
Have you ever done something “not so smart” for a photo or video? To what lengths would you go for the perfect shot? Was it worth it? (That’s a silly question. Of course it was!) 🙂
Happy shooting!
That is a cool video. Thanks!
So old and yet still stand and looking beautiful. Had no idea about walls on one side designed higher than…

Have you ever taken a Snapshot Escape? Where you set aside some time to grab just your camera and a cookie (the cookie is very important – see Tip #3) and simply go out to explore the place where you are and take a few pictures. No agenda. No goal. […]

Fun Photo Apps (CREATIVE) I recently read that 1/3 of all photos taken today are done with a smart phone. Wow! Clunky, heavy photography gear is quickly being replaced by thin, sleek camera cleverly disguised as a telephone. The convenience is clear. And with thousands of apps to choose from […]
Read MoreIt’s really hard to decide which I enjoy seeing more…Owls or Eagles. The mysterious and the majestic…the wise and the proud. Luckily, there’s a place in Florida where it’s possible to get an up-close look at these magnificent creatures in their own “assisted living” homes at the Ellie Schiller Homosassa […]
