Taking stunning photographs in Rome is easy. I’m completely amateur and somehow I have a really good keep/delete ratio going on ever since I moved here. It helps that I have a really excellent camera, but the scenery is so marvelous that the pictures almost take themselves. I’m happy to take credit though.
Night photography is tough without a tripod. I use the same technique I learned in summer camp as a child. Take a deep breath, let out 75% of it, and hold it there. Then pull the trigger.
It was a riflery class, but I guess the same principle applies. Here you go folks, the first ever RomeIfYouWantTo all-photo post.
Column of Marcus Aurelius, at dusk.
Just before dusk, from Piazza Navona towards the Supreme Court building. The sky swarming with birds on their way to Africa for winter.
The Roman Forum, Sunset
A little square off of Via dei Coronari, and right next to my favorite gelateria of all time.
The same little square.
The Bridge of Angels
Castel Sant’Angelo at night.

Wow, Liz. These are amazing. The last one is my favorite. I wish I could take pictures like that! I mean, I have the same photos, but they look NOTHING like yours!
Thanks, Rick! That is awfully nice of you to say. I love photography and took some classes but… really the camera does most of the heavy lifting. I just have to lift the heavy camera. Thanks for reading; hope you’re well!
Wow, great shots! We love Rome any time of day or night. Definitely one of our favorite cities.
That is AWFULLY kind of you! When I take about a thousand, usually a handful turn out okay. Thanks so much for reading. I love your site and am totally jealous of it!
