Photographers Comments
Taken on a visit to Rome to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary in 2007.
Oh....before anyone suggests the use of tripods etc...I just held my arm out and took two pics click-click. Security was tighter than a ducks bum.
But....(and this is an ongoing gripe)....hundreds of people were taking photos of the artworks on camera phones without security objecting! Harrumph.

fantastic comp' Tricky exposure. Did you shoot in RAW? You may be able to pull back the blown areas.
This has massive potential.

I don't use RAW - too technical for the likes of me! Feel free to fiddle with it though.

Raw is very simple mate. Have a play! You may love it. It has many benefits
May have a play later, thanks for the go-ahead.

I have tried - unsuccesfully. I'm reasonably happy with my PS Elements.

Great shot, for a quick click of the camera, I know how you feel with all of these security guards especially being in another country.

Mr Pie is right, all these piggin tourists are told no photography and they all take shot after shot on mobile phones, get your camera out and the Papal SAS come out of the walls. I said whats the prob the pope dont like his picture taken in his bedroom! Couldnt see the problem myself. Anyway cant go back to the Vatican City anymore for some reason
