Do any of you good people have a good photograph or photographs of OLD Venice that I can use as the background to a picture I am working on, and who wouldn't mind me messing with it. please? I have been rooting around on Google images and I cannot find anything quite right (actually, they are all too small). I need something, preferably a straight on view of a bridge (probably not the Rialto, it's too big and too crowded) that is clearly Venetian, but also not festooned with people.

As an example of what I am trying to do, here is a draft of the picture so far:


This is a .jpeg version of something I have been working on - the figure on the non-.jpeg version is a layer and has been superimposed upon the background to give an idea of what I want to do. The final colouring of the figure of Columbine will depend very much upon the colouring and lighting of any picture I can find to fill the background.

Can any of you good people help out with something from your holiday photos, perchance?

Thanks very much.

Get three pictures of the bridge you want with people on, then run it through http://www.snapmania.com/info/en/trm/ the Tourist Remover

Cam had a lovely photo of one of the covered wells at night - it's on her Flickr account.

Not a bridge, but very atmospheric.

I really like what you're doing with this!

Pictures of bridges.. Hmm.. Well I've ~whispers~ stolen all these from various sites on the internet, at some point over the past few years. Shhhh.;)
I would happily credit the photographers if I knew who they were.

I hope these help a bit, and can't wait to see the finished piece.
:D

I don't know whether any of these four pictures from my trip a few years ago would suit your purposes, but you are welcome to use them!
