Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year of the Pig ahead!

When I came across the day-lit moon at the Campo dei Miracoli during our tour in Italy, I was reminded of some of the beautiful moonrise shots of James Jordan (who has incidentally started a useful and easy-to-read photography-tips blog at “Ready, Aim, Click“). The skies were remarkably blue that morning, creating a nice contrast to the yellow and brown of the ancient buildings. I switched to a long lens to get the buildings close and keep the moon a reasonable size in the frame.

You know that Christmas is arriving… when you start seeing bright red jackets in the stores 🙂
I caught this shot while visiting Florence, Italy during my honeymoon trip. The bright red of the jacket lit by dramatic lighting caught my eye.
