About

Hi, I’m Bruno! As a physician lucky enough to be born and living in Venice, I enjoy photography as my favorite hobby. I love both the theoretical and technical aspects that lie behind any click of the shutter as much as the creative, artistic process that bring to life the final result any photographer chases after: the picture.

At the beginning I was loving photography for itself but, as time passed, photography made me love things I was not even interested in before. Nature, art, architecture, street life have all started meaning so much more to me behind my lens. After buying my first digital reflex I was also travelling more and more, as photography has been the powerful driving force behind a new will to discover.

I started this blog to share my photographic experiences while wandering around the most exciting places. I also try to collect and share my thoughts about pictures as I think pictures are made of more than just colours and shapes. Beneath pictures there are ideas, and I will try to share my ideas too.

So, thank you so much for visiting my blog… any hints or comments will be appreciated!

  10. Stunning shots of cities I love. Nice touch detailing information about the shot. Do use use HDR in your edit process and what software do you use most often.

    1. Thanks vannillarock! I used to take more pictures and merge them with an HDR software like Photomatix, but often I wasn’t so thrilled with the unnutural effect. Now I use just Light room! Thank you for dropping by! 😉

    1. Thanks! Waking up really early in the morning helps a lot 😉 the side effect is that I usually sleep during the day when I am on vacation.. 😉

  30. Bruno, your photos are stunning – and I agree with you on the early mornings. I manage that…sometimes. I know it’s rewarding. Thank you for the follow – I will gladly follow you back. I love Venice but haven’t been there using a camera…I think I’ll have to go back.

  31. Hi Bruno, really like your photos and thoughts!! thank you for your “likes” on mine … that’s how I found you of course!! (your blog has inspired me to “go black” on mine, after considering it for a long time … imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery, so i hope you don’t mind!!)

  36. Hi there Bruno, thanks for stopping by my blog. I presumed straight away on seeing your site`s name that you might have some images from the film festivals given that you `liked` a post of mine about a Japanese film. Do you shoot pictures from these two great film festivals?

  37. Hi Bruno,

    I just realised I made an error when compiling my nominees for the Liebster Award yesterday. I love your photos and had always intended to include your blog, but somehow it got missed out, thanks to the mess of answers, questions and nominees in my head.

    That said, I’ve now corrected my initial oversight, and hope you’ll still accept my belated nomination… http://jaspasjourney.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/liebster-award/

    1. Hi 2far2shout! Cadiz is not so far to reach but actually I have never been there. Are you planning to visit it or do you have any suggestion about what to photograph there? It would be very welcome and maybe of inspiration for a next trip! 😉

  50. Hey there Newbie Spikey!
    (for your info, a Spikey is the term for folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂

    Been away for a while, but now I wanted to catch up and say “thank you… I really appreciate your ‘follow’ as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.”

    Blogging since June 2013, my aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations, opinions and lighter-hearted stuff thrown in for good measure.

    I normally keep to a couple of posts a day, maybe 3-4 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.

    Thanks again and hope you have a great day…

    1. Thanks Andrew! I have seen you already have a well packed Lowepro backpack on your way, and I agree with your choice of light cameras (and envy you a bit too!). Of course I use my tripod mostly during the blue hour but I like to have it with me also in the daylight together with my big stopper.. you know, Venice can get so crowded that you could desire to make people fade away with a longer exposure. So my suggestion is: carry it always with you if it doesn’t weight too much, especially if you are going for a day trip to Burano, as you are planning. But leave it hung to your backpack if you are in too crowded places like the fish market or Rialto’s bridge during rush hours! Have fun 😉

      1. Thanks for the advice, Bruno. I’m still wavering on the 14mm prime. I thought it might be good indoors as it is relatively fast (F2.8). The 10-24 is excellent but slower glass. I am going to pack a small Domke bag too so I don’t have to carry the Lowepro pack all the time. Wave to us if you see a lost gweilo and his Chinese wife in Venice.

  53. Hello Bruno, Thanks for dropping by and liking my post on Italy 🙂 I would love to visit Venice again, as I had mentioned, not in August or with kids! But it truly was a beautiful city. I really enjoyed looking at your photos, really beautiful!

    1. Ciao Samiya, thank you for stopping by and for your beautiful comments! 🙂 I know how overcrowded Venice is and in the peak season a visit could be really stressful. In summer I’m the first who try to escape St. Mark’s Square and the surroundings, even making my way longer. I wish you could visit Venice and Italy again soon, my favourite periods are early Spring, with its clear skies, or October-November, with a charming fog! 🙂

      1. Hi Brubio, I can so imagine it would be absolutely stunning other times of the year. I had travelled to Rome in October and Amalfi coast in April and really enjoyed those periods without masses of people! can’t blame everyone for wanting to experience such a beautiful country though 🙂

  54. Well that’s the best part about going into a field we love and enjoy… the passion just brings everything to a sense of peace, harmony, and love… focusing on those things in our everyday lives will continue to bring them around more often!!!

  60. Entiendo que has nacido y vives en Venecia, ¡es nuestra ciudad especial! y cada año intentamos visitarla unos pocos días.
    Me gustan mucho tus fotos.

    Un saludo.

    1. Hola! Sì, has entendido muy bien, he nacido en Venecia, y ahora vivo y trabajo aqui. Es de verdad un plazer para mi que te gusten mis fotos!
      He leido con mucho gusto tus entradas sobre Venecia! Me pareció muy gracioso lo que escribiste sobre la playa del Lido “llena de feas casetas rectangulares en hileras”. Es verdad que son feas, pero no te puedes ni imaginar cuánto les encanten a los venecianos, que se gastan cada verano miles de euros para alquilar una! 😉
      Espero que puedas volver pronto a Venecia y gozar de su magia!
      Un saludo!
      Bruno

    1. Hi Rekha, thanks for stopping by! Actually, finding the time can be tricky, but luckily enough I love sunrises, and most of the days I am not busy at 5 am.. it’s just the willpower that lacks sometimes so early in the day! 😉

  70. Bruno, your work is a pleasure to see. Thanks so much for following Oh, the Places We See, for now we have met and had the pleasure of exchanging ideas. You make me want to return to Venice, for sure. Best wishes for continued great shots and good health to continue all you want to do. Thanks again for following. http;//ohtheplaceswesee.com
