Makes me wanna be there again! The second and the third ones are my favourites, especially the third is really timeless and the guys are extremely cool.
Would you share some technical information (TLR)?

 

[Merelyok]

Thanks Petronius...close, it was shot on a Hassselblad 503cx with 80mm lens. Film was Tri-X developed in D76..i did shoot color as well but somehow i didn't quite like how it turned out ):

Great shots! My personal favorites are 1-3, & 5-7. Love the way you have chosen low viewpoints - it really makes a difference. Something I should really try and do. DoF is lovely, that's a fine lens you have there.

Really well done - I'm extremely envious...........

Shame you weren't there in April, you could have met up with some fellow RFF'ers during the Euro Meet. Italy is indeed a great place to photograph, the combination of art/architecture/cultural iconography and daily modern life is nothing short of invigorating.

As usual you've managed to come away with some interesting images

Those are very nice shots Merelyok.
I second your statement about color photos. I didn't like my color shots of Rome as well. Things changed as soon as I started to shoot in black and white. Somehow it makes the city less cluttered with those horrible cars and garbage cans.

1-2-3-7 are great shots for me. I think Italy is great in all ways, But this time I think you have all credit, expose and composition is very nice. How did you meter light?

Thank you all, the comments are much appreciated..

Israel, the Hassy shots were exposed with my trusty Gossen Luna Pro-F. (the one that accepts 9V batteries).

Except for the modern clothes and cars it looks like a city photographed 100 years ago. The Italians have such great style and passion. Great shots. You just have to get a couple enlarged and framed up on your walls.

I love Florence and the hotel I stay at during my trip is Hotel California. It is 2 blocks from the Duomo. Street shots in Florence can provide some fasinating photos. Your shots are great and bring back many memories for me.
