medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
George, If you can possibly send me either the dome photo as a jpeg or a link to it, I'd be delighted to post it - with credit of course. The way I shoot a dome is to place my camera directly beneath it on the floor and on a timer. (I've taken a photo of myself peering into the lens a few times, trying to see if the picture was taken...) I can't imagine doing this at San Marco. What's the secret of your success?

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Although I have been known to take photos surreptitiously, I was struck by how I attracted the attention of a security guard at San Marco, who made it obvious that I was being watched constantly. I did get to sneak a fabulous photo of the dome, but it wasn't easy under those circumstances. Yet, several others around me were taking photos without being yelled at ...

When I was at San Marco last summer there were signs all over the place about photography not being permitted.
People with the right kind of cell phones (and some with actual cameras) were ignoring them. The one thing I
learned on this occasion is that they are also very strict about the size of things they will let you take into
San Marco in the first place. NO large bags, backpacks, etc. There was a place to check them across the square (!)

Dear Laura,
You can purchase a photography permit at SS Giovanni e Paolo, at the entrance; it was very inexpensive. Conditions: no flash, and no photos of the Bellini altarpiece; otherwise, it was all systems go. BUT, if you want to be safe, write them via http://www.basilicasantigiovanniepaolo.it/it/contatti.html
At San Marco they were very strict with me when I simply showed up with my camera, but I have never looked into pre-planning a photo shoot there.

Apologies for cross-posting... does anyone know who to apply to for permission to take photographs in San Marco and SS Giovanni e Paolo in Venice? Many thanks if you do.
