Venice gondolas bob under dramatic sunset clouds in this slow-shutter shot. Sometimes mother nature gives you a present. One hour before this image it was overcast and raining on us. It seemed photographically it was going to be a bust. But the moody clouds dispersed and put on an amazing sunset. I used a slower shutter speed to purposely convey the movement of the bobbing Gondolas with Campanile of San Giorgio Maggiore on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
