Hi James, I live in Italy and spent a couple of years in Venice, so I was particularly fascinated by the way you managed to catch not just the touristy side of the city, but the everyday aspects of the people who actually live there, rather than just visit. You even passed my son's old primary school... quite a trip down memory lane!

POV photo taking is really the best way for viewers to experience the photo taking alongside you, kudos to that! Here's a few observations 1) I could tell that with a 50mm, you get the benefit of shooting people from quite the distance away without infringing in their personal space. 2) But 50mm also means the background becomes somewhat compressed, meaning instead of a whole building, you only capture a crop of it in the background. 3) Shooting with a small aperture is great. Since the background is already compressed, trying to blur it away with a large aperture just removes the much needed context and weakens the photo usually. 4) Flares can be used artistically to enhance a photo.

Probably due to Corona restrictions and measures? While people got angry because of their rights being taken away or restricted heavily, they responded with fear and also rebellion against their governments. So every police officer, security guys and also photographers were seen as the "Orwell 1984" scenes, so only time will tell, when things will be more relaxed. Hopefully soon ;)
