Caffè Florian Photo

Photographer’s Note

Set under the arcades of the Procuratie Nuove in St Mark's Square, Caffè Florian is one of the city symbols.

Openned on December the 29th 1720 by Floriano Francesconi under the name "Venezia Trionfante", it soon became soons by its patrons "Florian's".

Some of the customers of this famous Caffè has been: Lord Byron, Rosseau, Dickens or Hemmingay so....an excellent place to rest!

I hope you like it!

Rgs, Oscar

Hola Oscar,

Bonita foto con buen angulo de toma. Me parece un lugar muy atractivo, especialment con sus paredes viejas y ventanas grandes. Una foto nitida. Gracias Oscar :-)

Hello Oscar,
I like this cafe view :) And, on second thought, I even like the diagonal shot! After contemplating for some time I came to the conclusion that it is the best variant in this case, and also, it adds dynamism :)
Best greetings from Moscow,

Have you been a customer too? A lot of atmosphere, that I remember well, but the cakes were nothing special.
ps - now that you mention "famous customers", a certain "hummus" restaurant in the village of Abu Gosh has become very popular here since your president (Laporta, not ZP) ate there two weeks ago...

Hola Oscar,

Yo estuve tan cerca y no he tomado una foto de este famoso lugar. Me gusta mucho la composición, la inclinación ha dado movimiento y la profundidad. Excelentes detalles.

Saludos
Leonor

Hola Òscar,
el tilt dóna molt dinamisme a la imatge, malgrat que ens fa inclinar una mica el cap (les meves cervicals...), en un enquadrament que m'agrada.
Ben captat l'ambient del carrer i de l'interior d'aquest Caffè.
Maca foto.
Salut,
Josep
PS: sí, ja comencem el "culebrón" Eto'o de l'estiu, i no m'agrada, perquè com dius, quasi sempre acaba dando por allí.

cheers

ohhhhh... la foto del cafè... em vaig quedar amb ganes d'entrar!

Un lloc molt original per fotografiar, i així inclinada és bona idea. Llàstima que no es vegi millor el nom del cafè...

Parlem!

Hello Oscar,

Perhaps a little experimental through the oblique composition, sharpness and clarity are superb.
Also the old fronts of the pubs with the typical windows.
Fine and quiet picture real colours, very well composition and presentation.
Nice done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Artistic tilt is not usually to my taste, but I am impressed by the quality and sharpness of the architecture with clean lines and lots of detail.

Hello Oscar,

The weathered walls add to the atmosphere, I don't think all places call for fresh paint hehehe!
A pleasing composition with effective lines, that takes my eyes into the scene...
Lovely colours with the patina only age can give!

Greetings,

Hello Oscar,
A fine photo in special brownshish tones and brought to life by the original angle. A lot of details to discover and a pleasure to look at.
Regards,
Paul
