Venice panoramas
Jan 4, 2009
Piazza San Marco.
Gilles Vidal’s 360º panoramas are justly celebrated but some of his photos benefit more from the location than others. The cathedral of St Cecilia is a great example of this, as is the city of Venice in this remarkable series of views. As well as showing a few less obvious locations, Vidal shows some of the more familiar sights in night views which are still fascinating due to the high quality of the pictures. The view of a misty Piazza San Marco (above) is wonderfully atmospheric.
Sestiere di Santa Croce.
Ponte dei Sospiri.

One thing I like about these sets is the variety of views and the way you can zoom in and out of the picture. It gives a great sense of space, far more so than a series of still shots.
