Fountain of Pantheon, a photo from Rome, Lazio

Photographer's Note

Roma.
In the middle of the Piazza della Rotonda, near the Rantheon, lies the Renaissance fountain which dated back to 1525, an artwork whose blueprints were created by Giacomo della Porta ordered by Pope Gregory XIII, but whose marble construction was realized by Leonardo Sormani.

En ces "p廨iodes glaciaires", je me refuse � faire prendre froid � mon appareil photo et � son propri彋aire. J'en profite donc pour faire du tri dans les images qui encombrent mon disque dur et exhumer 嶲alement quelques photos oubli嶪s ont celle-ci prise avec mon regrett� petit IXUS 400.

A Rome, au milieu de la Piazza della Rotonda,pr鋊 du Panth廩n, cette fontaine fut dessin嶪 en 1525 par Giacomo della Porta � la demande de Gr嶲oire XIII et r嶧lis嶪 en marbre par Leonardo Sormani.

Bonjour voisin du jour,

Belle juxtaposition et composition entre la fontaine et les fa蓷des en arri鋨e plan.
Je regrette un peu la pr廥ence de l'homme accoud�, mais je suppose qu'il doit 皻re tr鋊 difficile de s'affranchir de la foule � Rome.

Yves.

Bonjour Jean Jacques. Unique POV which demonstrates that big is not necessarily best. Rather than photograph the building and present yet another image of the same, you took a different path and captured the less known while still conveying the atmosphere of the place. Amicalement. Klaudio.

Bonjour Jean-Jacques
Un bon clich� de cette superbe fontaine encadr嶪 d'immeubles color廥 qui sentent bon le sud et r嶰hauffent l'atmosph鋨e.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journ嶪.

Bonjour Jean Jacques,

I like this very much, using the sculptural details of the fountain for immediate viewer interest and setting them in the context of the city with the interesting b/g pillars and coloured buildings. A great perspective.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Jean-Jacques,
Le cadrage est 憝idemment sans reproche. Les couleurs des fa蓷des 廦uilibrent celles de la sculpture. Les colonnes sont habilement incluses dans la composition. La qualit� est excellente. Bravo.
Bonne journ嶪
Amicalement

Bonjour Jean Jacques,

On reconnait tr鋊 vite les couleurs italiennes dans l'image qui est tr鋊 bien compos嶪. La fontaine en premier plan semble se tasser pour laisser la place � l'arri鋨e plan.

Amicalement

Hi Jean Jacques
this is so imaginatively composed, I love it! Such a great POV with superb clarity, sharpness DOF and detail. The fountains of Rome are so beautiful and you have captured this one so perfectly and set against the wonderful colours and architecture. Excellent!

Have a great week - Brian.

Bonjour JJ,
Rome est aussi le pays des belles fontaines, c幨鋐res, vestiges quasi indestructibles du pass�. J'aime beaucoup cette touche de rouges tr鋊 intenses � l'arri鋨e plan.
Une carte postale bien construite dans son cadrage.
Mes compliments.
Daniel

Hi JJ,

Bonsoir Jean Jacques! A wonderfully composed photo by leaving enough space on the side showing the colorful house fronts and columns too and I also like the man leaning there having a secret overlook what was going on below him. These things that have to be used and seen to make a great photo. Well done, I like it a lot. Best wishes et bon nuit, Barbara.

Bonjour Jean Jacques
Impressionnante cette sculpture!! encadr� de b漮iments color嶪s, c'est vrai que 蓷 r嶰hauffe, j'en ai assez de la neige et surtout du froid
Belle soir嶪

Zucca (8) 2012-02-13 12:48

Bonsoir Jean-Jacques,

Le cadrage est tr鋊 soign�, j'aime bien la succession des diff廨ents plans et le contraste entre, d'un c矌�, le gris et la d嶰oration exub廨ante de la fontaine, et de l'autre, les couleurs chaudes et le classicisme sobre des fa蓷des. La nettet� 嶲alement est remarquable, bravo !

Bonne soir嶪,

Sylvain

macjake (98456) 2012-02-13 13:11

Hi JJ
what i like about this composition is how everything is full frame. The lack of sky puts everything in the forefront. Lots of detail, lots of color.
well photographed.
cheers

Bonsoir Jean-Jacques,
Cela me fait sourire de voir l'Europe sous la neige aux informations t幨� car chez-nous, c'est du quotidien ces temps-ci. J'esp鋨e toutefois que le temps se r嶰hauffera, je visite l'Italie l'彋� prochain. Belle photo color嶪, et la sculpture en avant plan est tr鋊 bien plac嶪 et bien nette.
Bonne semaine

Hello Jean Jacques,
Had never seen this part of the fountain from this POV.
Here you see also the nice colorfull fassades at the background, which do not exist under normal circumstances.
Interesting notes as well.
TFS and have a nice day
Best regards

Angshu (56760) 2012-02-13 23:54

Bonjour JJ
The framing has been done well with the details of the fountain creating a strong FG with the pastel walls of the houses in the BG. Thanks to the fast shutter speed you froze the water pouring out of the mouth. Well done!
With Regards
Angshu

Un'espressione "nuova" molto personalmente efficace di questo luogo storico .
Architettura, primo piano e scena di vita quotidiane di turisti .
Condivisione eccellente.

Vasa (515) 2012-02-16 16:56

Bonsoir Jean Jacques,

Tu as su souligner ce qui est le plus fascinant devant toi et ce qui t'a motive a tirer. Heureusement encore que les couleurs chaudes sont derriere. Il ne manque q'une colombe qui se desaltere. Amicalement

Branko
