Photography is an art that sees 360\u00b0, make sure you do as well.  Don&#8217;t always look in front of you, look up, look down and look behind you, you never know what you might see.  Had I not looked up, I would have missed the cloud pattern behind St, Marks Clock Tower.  To finish this image I used Nik Filters &#8220;Monday Morning&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2092\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 500px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/monday-musings-venetian-patterns\/italy_venice_00028-as-smar-copy\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2092\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ITALY_VENICE_00028-as-Smar-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ITALY_VENICE_00028 as Smar copy\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ITALY_VENICE_00028-as-Smar-copy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ITALY_VENICE_00028-as-Smar-copy-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Window, Yellow Wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I used Nik Filters &#8220;Glamour Glow&#8221; to finish this image.  The morning light hits the walls in Venice with a special touch.  One of the things I don&#8217;t like about vacation photography is that you are never in the right spot at the right time of the day.  Put differently, I wish I could have parked my butt in one or two spots at sunrise and sunset and just took advantage of the light&#8230;no such luck!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2091\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"width: 500px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/monday-musings-venetian-patterns\/italy_venice_00058-as-smar-copy\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2091\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ITALY_VENICE_00058-as-Smar-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"ITALY_VENICE_00058 as Smar copy\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ITALY_VENICE_00058-as-Smar-copy.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.vincentmistretta.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/ITALY_VENICE_00058-as-Smar-copy-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solids and Stripes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I dont think I executed the above image the way I wanted to.  I saw the image differently when I pressed the shutter but the result was not what I wanted.  One problem with this image is that I am shooting up from the street.
