[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my favorite building in Rome and one of the oldest there: the Pantheon.
It is the most well-preserved monument of ancient Rome, built in 27 B.C. by Marco Vipsanio Agrippa and rebuilt in its present form under the rule of the Emperor Hadrian between 119 and 128 A.D. The building has a circular plan with an entranceway (Greek prònaos) held up by 16 columns in grey and pink granite, decorated with Corinthian capitals. Inside one can admire the immense panelled dome, a perfect semisphere, 43.3 meters in diameter(142 feet), with an "eye" at the center (9 meters, 29.5 feet across), the only opening through which light can enter; the niches separated by columns and a passageway that leads along the edge of the cornice-works around the inside of the dome. The tombs of two Italian kings, Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I, and that of Raphael, with an inscription by Bembo, are conserved within.

Este es un fantástico lugar, que tuve la suerte de visitar...Tu foto es original si interpretamos como algo sobrenatural esa sobrexposicion de luz, de todas formas es algo curioso.
Well done
Saludos

Bonita luz la que entra por el tragaluz, Clemente, digna de "Ciudadano Kane", creo que ese chorro de claridad es el protagonista de la foto e hiciste bien en dejarle la mayor parte del espacio. Me gusta la foto y como te veo muy romano te recomiendo una película: "La mejor juventud", ya la puedes encontrar en DVD y es la mejor crónica de la italia de los últimos cuarenta años que he visto en mi vida.

Great picture with a good POV. Very good light, you captured this huge dome very well!

Yes I remember this place. With this light I think that the holy gost is entering.

even though the picture is a bit dull, it is still a fantastic shot.
I was wondering, if you have taken a bunch of shots of the interior, you can stitch them together and post it as one panoramic view, showing at least 180 degrees of the interior. That would a wonderful picture in my opinion.
regards,

Hola, Clemente. Este edificio es maravilloso y has captado magníficamente la hermosa luz que su único vano proporciona al interior, es una imagen sensacional. Recuerdo la espectacularidad del edificio y tu trabajo la remarca. Muy buena foto,es impresionante.
Saludos.
Pablo
