Grand Canal at Dawn
Taken from the Rialto Bridge, Grand Canal at Dawn is a calming image of the waterway before the hustle and bustle of the day begins. I timed my visit to the bridge to cover the pre-dawn twilight period when light begins to creep into the sky, but the streetlamps are still aglow. These different light sources create a fusion of energy from the expansive pale blue sky to the vibrant clusters of colours on the narrow sidewalks.
The sweeping curve of the canal brings added shape and movement to the piece and using a slow shutter speed I was able to blend out the water to further emphasise the calm quiet of the early morning. The smooth sheen of the water brings the finer details of the gondolas stationed at their docking poles and the intricacies of the buildings and window shutters to attention.
Printed in high-definition, Grand Canal at Dawn is a perfect blend of opposites in one composition.
