I had a day and night to spend in Venice before heading out to Tuscany. I only brought my a7, 28mm FE and 50mm FE. I used my iPhone as a tripod when needed and even forgot to pack a strap. Here are some quick snaps from my short stay there. Would love some CC!

Sony α7 / ILCE-7 • Sony FE 28mm F2 @28mm • 1/160 • f/5 • ISO 160

If you really want critique, limit yourself to a couple of images in the thread and you will get meaningful comments.

A couple of meaningless comments, or "what I noticed scrolling through and still remember after getting to the bottom":
* I like the one with the blurred greenery foreground. It lends a different look to Venice, unlike the rest of the 'canal plus building' shots.
* I like the lit shop in the sea of darkness. The large negative space works (for me, anyway).
* The man on the bridge would look better (IMO) with the left cropped out.

Some of the others were nice, but I don't remember them . . .

Cheers, Damien

"Unicorn *****" is my next band name.

I also like the handbag store in the dark. Rest feel more like tourist photos, with the exception of the golden building one with a boat in the lower left... That one just needed to be shot at sunrise/sunset for it to be better, but the composition was good.

Thanks so much! The 28mm FE is sort of magical. Call me impressed. I'm just impressed with the a7 all-around. Best travel camera I've ever owned.

Great series... some feel a little oversaturated. The man on the bridge is beautiful. How did you process this one? Was it desaturated, increased luminance on all colors but red/orange?

Canon 6D and a couple lenses, I don't know... just trying the hardest I can

Thanks so much man. I actually brought down the lumanance of the orange channel and SLIGHTLY boosted the green channel. Otherwise, edits are pretty flat.
