An hour-by-hour guide to catch shifting light and mood.


Timetable (Example)

  • Sunrise: Empty frames, pastel tones; start at Ponte della Paglia.
  • Mid-morning: Crisp relief on stone; move to Canonica for tighter lines.
  • Late afternoon: Golden warmth; reliefs and textures pop.
  • Blue hour: Lamp glow on ripples; reflections at their best.

If Weather Turns

  • Overcast: Go graphic—textures and symmetry.
  • Light rain: Reflections bloom; protect gear and enjoy the sheen.

Pack a microfiber cloth; sea spray and mist happen.
