For the following images I used three cameras: an IR-converted Sony A5100, then my backup camera, a Sony A6000. I have a second backup camera now, a Sigma Quattro SQ - I apologize for smuggling in a couple of images made with it. The Sigma can share its lenses with the Sony cams via the MC-11 adapter.

The first small set of images originated in a walk from Cannaregio to the Piazza San Marco - starting at 05:00 hours in the morning.

#1 The first morning light - view from Accademia bridge to the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute

C&C always welcome! Thanks for viewing!

Thank you, Leo!

What a great set! I have been in this beautiful city a couple of times, but these scenes without the tourists are really stunning, almost unreal Looking forward to more of this.

Great set! #5 is my favorite, as I stood at approximately the same place you took that picture....only it was 1977 and I was 15yrs old! Thanks for the memories

Harald,
I was really surprised that a "Show Us Cities .... Venice" thread didn't exist before you created it!
It's so often photographed, and indeed featured in this forum, and of course everywhere else.
It certainly looks magical through your eyes and lenses.
A beautiful set, and I particularly like the ones you took in the early light. Were the first two taken with longish exposures which "smoothed out" the water?
The motion blurred gondolas, and the night shots are also very appealing.

Allow me to join in too.
