Hotel Venzia Photo

Photographer’s Note

he exterior of this Venice, Italy themed resort has replicas of St. Mark's Square, the Clock Tower, the Bridge of Sighs, and of course a canal with gondolas. It's a pretty faithful reproduction and looks great, especially at night with the charming street lamps ablaze. There are several main entrances - one from the street takes you directly into the casino, another on the second level (accessed by walkways and moving sidewalks) provides access to the Grand Canal Shoppes, and off of the main drive you are taken into the lobby.

Hi Christian,

A fantastic perspective beautifully lit with artificial lighting helped by a splendid sky!
The reflection on the water is adorning your capture which also contains marvellous architecture!
Well presented with stunning result!
Well done,
Regards,

Excellent light management, Christian. Both the shimmering reflections in the water, and the cerulean blue of the sky make the frame evocative of St. Marc's Square — with the Ducal Palace on the right, and the restaurants on the left.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Christian,
Very impressive first-impression when I looked at the thumbnail and even the larger version is good with the exception of the sky, where the pp work is a bit sloppy.
By the way, what procedure did you use to darken the sky? I might help you with some ideas...
Thanks for (almost) taking me to Venezia:)
