Acqua Potabile

A water fountain in the Castel Sant'Angelo. Block the downward facing spigot and water jets out of a hole in the top of the pipe so you don't have to bend over half-upside down to get a drink.

Wow. Love the lighting, textures and contrast range. There must have been some great natural reflectors behind you to make this possible. It almost has the feel of a commercial shot using multiple silver reflectors and cucoloris to get this. Really great addition to your fountain collection.

Actually, lighting-wise, behind me was another stone wall of similar texture and color. The primary light was an overcast sky, forming the world's biggest softbox.

Interesting, because this picture does not look like soft light. Soft boxes and overcast are very forgiving lights while this is snappy and crisp with multiple shades

This will give you a clue as to where that fountain is- https://mocochocodotcom.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/castel_sant_angelo_interior.jpgthe spigot is below and to the left of the metal bridge from the outer to the inner wall.

Love everything about this one - the textures in the wall, the rate of ruin, the soft light, the water, the tones...
