It is election time soon, and time for our

A long neglected monastic complex, Chiostri di San Pietro was
opened to the public last Saturday after a long and slow restoration. A new
hyper modern conference block has been wedged into a corner of the site. Inside
the obligatory multimedia light show was imposed over the Renaissance
architecture.

The scene reminded me of those Architectural
Autocad renderings that I see so often for my work, with lots of more than
perfect trees and transparent people drifting though the shiny buildings. I
tried to show this vibe in a couple of the shots in this set.

Putting people in the frame is a bit of a
new departure for me when photographing architecture, the big problem is
getting passers-by whose attire does not clash with the composition.

My trusty EM5 shined as usual for the task
of trying to get some interesting and “clean” architectural shots in an over crowded
environment.

I used two bodies with a 12-35 2.8 and a
7-14 2.8 for this little Sunday morning diversion.
