Infrared: Villa Pamphili in Rome

On a Sunday afternoon in September, we walked with Yana through the villa Doria Pamphili. Last year, we arranged for Yana a photo shoot in one of the largest parks in Rome, and this time decided to take a look at this beautiful place with an infrared filter.

Since in the infrared range green turns white, and there are a lot of greens in the villa, the effect turned out to be magical. A feature of infrared shooting is that even during the day, the shutter speeds with which you have to work will be measured in seconds. So in addition to the IR filter itself, at least you need a good tripod and the ability to determine the exposure pair. For those interested in photography at the bottom of each picture, I have given shooting options, and those who want to combine a vacation in Rome with photography lessons, I invite you to my author’s courses.

Shooting options: 24 mm, ISO 400, Aperture 2, Shutter speed 4 sec

Italian pine pines, one of the symbols of Rome, look especially cool in the IR spectrum.

Shooting options: 24 mm, ISO 800, Aperture 10, Shutter speed 30 sec

Shooting options: 24 mm, ISO 800, Aperture 8, Shutter speed 10 sec

Shooting options: 24 mm, ISO 3200, Aperture 5, Shutter speed 1 sec

Raphael's stanza in the Vatican

Rafael Stanza (Stanze di Raffaello) - part of the vast museum complex in the Vatican. This is the name of the four relatively small (approximately 6x8 meters each) rooms located in the museum, painted by the great Renaissance artist Raffaello Santi and his students. The word "stanza" in Italian means "room"; starting with Pope Julius II, who did not want to live in the same chambers as Alexander VI Borgia, whom he hated, personal papal apartments were located here.

Dome of St. Peter's Basilica: the best view of Rome

The first years of life in Rome, the idea of climbing the dome of St. Peter's Basil was constantly, but constantly postponed. Followers of my Instagram know that I conduct individual tours at dawn to enjoy Rome without crowds of tourists, and there are always enough of them on the main square of the Vatican. We usually start our walks in Rome at 6 am, depending on the time of the year and at ten o’clock, when the bulk of the excursions begin, we are already far from the main attractions enjoying the atmosphere of the Eternal City, for example, Villa Borghese.

Michelangelo's Pieta at the Vatican

Michelangelo’s Pieta is the mournful image of Mary mourning the crucified Christ taken from the cross. The masterpiece is on display at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Translated from Italian, Pietà - "compassion, sorrow, pity, sympathy." The plot of this iconographic sculpture is not mentioned in the 4 texts of the Gospel, nor is it in the apocrypha.
