<b>Lights of Rome</b>

Uploaded: October 05, 2007

Description

Canon EF-S 18-55 @ 22mm; f/13; 30 sec.; ISO 200; Av; Nov 29 2006; 10:07pm

I used a polarizer filter to further reduce the light and be able to capture the light streaks of traffic to create a frame for the Colosseum. On the left, a bus "burned" the name of its destination (Piazza Venezia) and you can still see people on the right waiting for their bus. It's amazing that people stood still for 30 seconds, the time my shutter was open.
