In Rome with the Fuji X10 Pt 2

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

In Rome with the Fuji X10 Pt 2

Nearly finished with the Italian leg of our journey, the X10 continues to impress. It is a travel camera as good as any. We have visited the usual tourist spots in Rome, plus today was spent in and around Naples, courtesy the fast train from Termini station, and a top speed of 308 kph. As for Italy, is it possible to have too much coffee? I suppose I will find out sooner or later. I have been a bit cheeky and posted more than the 4 image limit for this post, but hey, it is Italy after all!

All images are SOOC.

The roof of the Pantheon in late afternoon sun. Incidentally, the Pantheon is supposedly the world's largest unsupported concrete dome.

Somewhere in the Vatican museum, which has around 1100 rooms, and is second in size only to the Louvre (sp?).

St Peter's basilica, a fairly large joint by any measurement.

This fella is either homeless, or has had too much sightseeing for one day.

The shopping district next to the Vatican precinct is astonishing. I purchased one espresso macchiato only.

This fella was unusual for Naples as he didn't ask for anything, he just played his electric violin, very poorly I might add. I gave him some money simply because he wasn't shaking a tin in my face and begging.

Naples where we demolished some Margherita (sp?) pizza. Sublime.

Naples really has the best and worst of Italy.

Looks like you're having a very good time - ... very jealous... :)

Great time Rodney, just knackered. Off to Spain tomorrow for the weekend, then Northern Ireland.

Had great fun this morning. Approximately 5 minutes walk from our hotel in Monte Altissimo, is a spectacular Leica shop, obviously a serious dealer for the region. There is, in the front window, a gold Leica (R3?). I'm not too educated on Leica stuff; I was born in Penrith :lol:

I may saunter down later tonight and have another gander at the multitude of old Leicas on display.
