how will they feel about posing for a long-exposure?
Some have been better than others.
Tonight's couple looked great and had such a terrific attitude that I knew the photos would be good.
Like so many before, they held the standard pose perfectly:

Sure, my couples kiss all the time on the gondola.
They're practically required to.
But asking a couple to kiss as you pass under a bridge is one thing, challenging them to hold a smooch perfectly still for a long time with your shutter open - that's different.
But I think they did a pretty great job.

I guess having to hold that posed kiss for the photo got them in the mood for the real thing.
To say I'm a sucker for a long-exposure would be an understatement.
I'm still working on it as a discipline.
But tonight I took it a small step further and the rich, dramatic images were a nice reward.
