Capturing urban landscapes in Rome

The first thing I noticed about Rome was the unique light it received at sunrise and sunset. But even at high noon the light still seemed flattering on most streets of Italy’s capital city. Maybe it’s just the ancient architecture and ruins that are outstanding to witness at any time of day.

While prowling the streets for the first time it was pretty clear to me that my short stay would not be enough to fully explore it all, but the below images are my first attempts at capturing some of the magic I encountered between my gelato searching expeditions.
