1/50 f/2.4, ISO 400, hand held. Roma, Italy.

Entrare per caso, la prima volta, in una domenica pomeriggio, in un mercatino di oggetti usati e piccolo antiquariato. Ne conoscevo l'esistenza da anni, vicino casa dei miei genitori, ma non me lo ero mai "filato". E trovarci questo meraviglioso oggetto, un enorme mappamondo antico. Certamente una riproduzione di valore limitato, ma comunque dal prezzo importante. Non per comprarlo, ma quantomeno per fotografarlo, e con un arnese che ha, nella sua modalità 200 mpx (ridotti a 27 qui), un potere di risolvenza di dettaglio sconosciuto a qualunque mirrorless eccetto le medio formato. Uno strumento che ha un valore aggiunto definitivo e imbattibile : stare sempre in tasca, pronto. E dannatamente discreto, quando fotografi non se ne accorge quasi nessuno. Chi ci fa caso, ormai? E' un cam jpg, originale a colori, passato sotto filtri seppia di Nik Silver Efex Pro 2. Non penso di essere un grande fotografo di Still (manco del resto, ci mancherebbe), ma ritengo questa la miglior foto di Still Life che ho mai fatto.

Thank you Elisabetta! Apart from that it was quite expensive (it seems to me 350 euros), but I really wouldn't have known where to put it! It was gigantic! I think over a meter in diameter!

Thank you Gion! And I happened to be there "by chance" (there is no chance in reality). I didn't even intend to enter, then I said to myself "it has been fifteen years since I have this shop, let me see".
