andybarton Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted March 10, 2007 Yes, it wasn't too hot, but this was later on in the morning, so the light wasn't at its best (this was on Thursday, prior to us going into the necropolis below). However, as you can see, the 19 does a good job of cutting through the haze, even without a UV filter. Which is handy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted March 10, 2007 Share #4 Posted March 10, 2007 Looks like that 19 is starting to be your favorite lens, it dose produce some nice results. One of those days I will have to get something wider then a 35 that is about as wide as I ever went. Did you go and have a meeting with the Pope wile you where there Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted March 10, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 10, 2007 Andy, A dull day works wonders for a scene like this one. I like the wide angle coverage. David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted March 10, 2007 Did you go and have a meeting with the Pope wile you where there Only the first one... We were privileged to get tickets to the "scavi", the archaeological excavations beneath St Peter's. 120 people per day are taken through the pre-Christian necropolis to see the very place where St Peter was buried. His bones can still be seen. As a complete agnostic, I have to say it was a life-changing experience, and one that I would recommend to anyone who is a visitor to Rome and the Vatican. (Book early... I have the details if anyone is interested). To be 5 ft from the place where St Peter, "Simon-Peter", Jesus's right-hand-man was buried was a profound moment in my life. Others in the party were moved to tears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
