Romeo and Juliet
There was the light of a street-lamp, only. My wife and I were walking along Garda Lake, in the village of Cassone when this scenery appeared to my eyes. Difficult to resist to this romantic blend of low lights, warm tones, the sound of waves against stones of lakeside, darkness, silence of the sky, a magic atmosphere, Romeo and Juliet. Don’t forget that Cassone lies in the area of Verona: the land of the most famous lovers through times . I had tripod and K20D with me. (Pentax Lens 55-300 on 55mm: F6,3; 1,6 s; ISO 400; White Balance on AWB). I performed five captures with different speed-times at the same F-number. I choosed this one. I wanted to match these pics using HDR, but it wasn’t possible for movements of the two young (I got a bad result using HDR Photomatix 4 and deghosting device). I would like to tell you the name of the two actors ignorant of my presence. Do you believe that it will be possible to know their names and to give them this pic? Perhaps one day in the future; perhaps after their marriage so they will show it to their children and nephews. Who can say it? I’m becoming old and when I look at my pictures I trust that “We take photos of time-changing. We take photos of the past-present changing into future. We take photos of LIVING that will change to DEAD”. Sorry for these sad thoughts, but I’m sure there is only one way to survive to this process: to live in a photo captured when we were living. Is this the main reason why do I like photography? I don’t know. Perhaps I need a psychiater! Or not: this photo is the story of Love and Death, two words that go together well since Greek Philosophers. Eros and Tanatos: the Tragedy of Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, shows the struggle between Love and Death. How many words for a photo!

Excellent work!

With kind regards,

You are a romantic man Giulio... and I think you are right about your interpretation about photography and life-and dead...
Excellent work!

I agree and its a lovely moment too. I love Lake Garda. Cheers Trixie

And as for the text and the feeling behind it, wonderful.
We all need to put more passion into our images.
