Scott the pictures are great.
The D300 tip on standard settings worked great. Thanks

It’s such a bad idea for me to check out this blog in the morning. I always end up spending the rest of the day watching the clock and daydreaming of where I’m going to shoot that afternoon.
As always, very inspiring shots. Thanks, Scott!
Scott,
You captured the essence of Italy beautifully. Only one thing missing, some Ferraris.
Excellent - this set is the best of the bunch - IMHO
Thanks for sharing - brought back some memories of the old country
Nice Job Scott. I really like your wine bottle shots
Loved your compositions and cropping! Maybe the secret lies on you currying only one lens! Inspiring!!
When’s the calendar coming out? (David’s going to Venice to do research this summer — ah, the life of the teacher — ,I’m so jealous of both of you!)
Great photos, Scott. Stupid question: Did you compose the lovely off axis shots that way or discover the shots in cropping? I don’t think of making static subjects come alive that way often enough.
Really nice shots as usual. I’m a big fan of your posts. We live the Italy trip while browing your photos.
I have a comment regarding July 2009, there’s an “inappropriate” detail :
Dior is a french brand, not italian
Being new to a lot of this, here’s a dumb question: Would you need model releases from the people in the August month if you were to sell these photos (or the calendar itself)?
Brilliant photos Scott.
I live in Turin in northern Italy. Did you get a chance to visit? It’s a wonderful city and relatively tourist free. It hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Hope you enjoyed the holiday - and especially the fantastic food.
Ciao
Awesome Photos!!
Looks like you had great experience and a good time.

I am curious did you set your calendars up as templates or they all free hand??

PS: Sorry, ment to put this question in with the ahead comment and click submit to fast hahah
A great variety of subjects in your collection and a lot of “stock” material. I was going to ask you how you decided upon and found subjects to shoot that didn’t necessarily require the “best” light of the day but I think the answers are contained in many of the images showing the details of daily life.
The February picture (on left side) looks too processed, almost like HDR. That’s the only one I don’t like. Cheers
Just a thought, surely “August” people have a “small claims” route?
Nice images Mr. Kelby.
Sorry Scott, it’s just formulaic. Italy has been photographed to death and I’ve seen these images a thousand times, you’re shooting from memory and not from the heart. Show me something I’ve never seen before, this is nice but then again you’re in Italy how hard is it really? Try it again and this time, shows some of your emotion, not someone else’s.

Everyone’s a critic… ha!
They are bellissimo from where I’m sitting Scott. Happen to like HDR, so February on the right would be my pick for having a similar rich depth, but then again that staircase is nice and artsie too. Thanks for sharing & hope you and your family had a wonderful vacation with some much deserved rest.
Meravigliosa Italia! Oh Scott, you are great! I’m italian, I know very well my Italy, but through your photo I can see a beautiful Italy, more beautiful than I know!
