Left-hand corner... I'm not sure myself. Might be depth of field, but I can't see how. I was using the telephoto to compose this; I've looked at the exposures around it and none includes exactly the same field. Perhaps my notes are wrong about the F-stop, but I'm reasonably fastidious, so I'm not sure that's it either. Could be some strange rotational camera shake, but I've never heard of that, or seen it. I think it is just local atmosphere, and that's what I put it down to when I looked at the negative.
Thanks for checking these out. In the fall I was west ? Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming ? photographing with a larger-format camera. I'm not prepared to post those for a while, so I thought I'd add a few from Venice in the meantime. I'll put up two or three more in a couple of days. I appreciate your comments.
helluva shot donald! very nicely composed - cluttered, in a venetian way - and charming in its decadence . top notch exposure and detail but what's with the hazy upper left corner?
