  • Greeting from Waddell,Arizona...Your albums are pure eye candy for someone who lives in the hot dry southwest desert! I most love the "Witch Lake" photos...I did take the liberty to down serverl dozen photos to enjoy as my desktop. Visiting your most beautiful country is on my to do list before I die! If you wouldnt mind sharing which type of photo equipment you use to take these photo's? I just might get better photo's myself! Thanks...Tina

  • Well, I'm not sure about ALL the shots whether they are new or not, but certainly I remember the morning at Silence bay seeing the shots starting at number 40 (a beautiful one, that with the boat!) It was a cloudy morning and you have managed to overcome it completely. I'm glad you have the pic of the tourist with the paper, because mine didn't enter my album by mistake, and I only noticed it when the album was ready and didn't feel like changning it anymore (already had problems with the software). Anyway, it's a pleasure viewing this album. Un grande abbraccio! Orly

  • Ciao Ruggero! Grazie dei consigli, e degli auguri. Ricambio gli auguri ma probabilmente riusciro' a rinnovarteli ancora prima di Natale. Intanto pian piano mi guardo tutti i tuoi begli album. Di questo ho rubato le foto 13 - Lasciando... -, 16 - My little paradise (che preferisco, probabilmente per lo steccato che proietta subito la bella scena in un quotidiano desiderato)- e la 48. --------- In effetti la cosa che riesco a ottenere con maggiore fatica dal digitale (non reflex) e' un "colore&quot ; soddisfacente: grazie davvero per tutti i buoni consigli su questo argomento. No no certo, so bene che non si devono mai alzare gli ASA col digitale: ma in realta' mi riferivo alla tecnica che mi ero sentito descrivere da un fotografo dopo che mi aveva mostrato delle immagini (non digitali) dai bei colori, con parole del tipo "tirare la pellicola". Diceva di settare la macchina per un ASA diverso (mi pare maggiore) rispetto alla pellicola usata e poi di processare in modo particolare la pellicola setssa. Sto sperimentando... ma non essendo bravo in tecnica fotografica credo che non ne sortira' nulla. Ogni tanto sfoglio i tuoi album per "tirarmi su" dalle delusioni fotografiche. Grazie ancora, soprattutto per il "piccolo&quo t; paradiso :-) Ciao. Ale

  • Mio caro amico Ruggero, eccomi nuovamente godendo con le tue meravigliose immagini. Vedendo sulla carta geografica la situazione di questo bellissimo posto, ho ricordato i bei giorni trascorsi in Bordighera (Imperia), con una vecchia amica italiana tanti anni fa. Adoro il tuo paese e ancora di più i tuoi scatti. Carissimi saluti. Joana

  • Perhaps Astounded Silence is all I should give for fear of cluttering up your mind with drippings of grandeur that could never truly express properly the beauty of this album. So before I babble any further, I give you the utmost respect and a honoured bow. Dream defined!

  • eheheh si i disegni sono miei... la morale? Beh guarda, a dire la verità io ero più tragico, volevo che la tarta si buttasse dalla montagna e la storia finisse con lei che spariva giù nelle nuvole, chiaramente facendo una brutta fine. Pur sapendo che contro la natura non si può nulla, la tartaruga andava comunque per la sua strada. Ma chiaramente sarei stato arrestato per istigazione al suicidio. HAHAHAHA!! Allora ho deciso che la tartaruga scopre che si può trovare la felicità, basta aprire gli occhi e guardare il mondo con uno sguardo diverso. Due morali opposte, non chiedermi quale sia quella giusta. eheheh.. Comunque grazie! era un lavoro per l'esame di illustrazione...

The blue are awsome and this place is heaven on earth. I guess there is lot of people in summer, but at spring, it seems so quiet. I can't select a favorite, all your pics are fabulous. Thanks again Ruggero, for this pure instant of pleasure. Friendly, Chantal

  • Ciao Ruggero! This album is great!! I like your pictures country house, and the arrival in silence bay... But my really favourites are “street lamps over the beauty” and “a place to think” (perfect for my album of bench ;) ). Thank you for your nice comments on my featured album, much appreciated! Best wishes, Tatiana

How wonderful and I do appreciate the little map, so I know excatly, where I am. What can I say, what I have not already said, great photography. Still have a lot more albums to browse.Thank you so much. Arrivederci Marietta

  • Ciao Ruggero. Ti scrivo nonostante la mia endemica pigrizia per segnalarti che sei stato segnalato (perdona la glossa) nella sezione Travel, Italy con questo tuo album. Anche se meritavi 10 feature si tratta pur sempre di un ottimo riconoscimento qualitativo. Dei tuoi ultimi tra l'altro, come ti ho già detto, è quello che mi ha più intrigato emotivamente tant'è che ci sono andato anch'io (ma le foto che ho fatto, pur registrando la magia del posto, non si avvicinano neanche lontanamente alla bellezza delle tue). Ancora congratulazioni ed i miei più sentiti complimenti. Ti auguro una buona giornata. Claudio.

  • Ruggero! Amico mio! (How is my Italian? ;-)) Again I missed your album for a long time (I'm not appologizing ;-)). And now all the superlatives are already taken :-0 so I'll just say congratulations for another fantastic album. There are so many beautiful places where you live and again you captued this beauty so vividly. The night shots are most amazing, but I enjoyed all the pictures very much. I'd like to be in that "place to think", although I'd prefer not to think... just enjoy the gorgeous beauty and quiet. CIAO... PS I'm glad you found some olive trees because for some reason I don't see them lately. sorry. Have a nice weekend. Arrivederci! Orly

  • Ciao Ruggero, sei un grande! Prima di tutto per questo bellissimo album che mi consente di visitare e quasi essere presente in questi bellissimi luoghi, che non ho ancora avuto il piacere di frequentare; poi per il tuo simpaticissimo commento al mio ultimo album (non ti devi certo scusare per il ritardo: sei ampiamente perdonato sia per i tuoi doverosi impegni di lavoro che per il piacevole e produttivo week-end fotografico con Maurizio). Quando ho postato questo mio ultimo album, non pensavo sinceramente di aver fatto una gran cosa; credevo che desse la sensazione di essere un po' dispersivo e raccogliticcio, per la varietà dei luoghi e dei paesaggi. In effetti ho messo insieme una serie di immagini che mi erano rimaste fuori da altri album, soprattutto perchè prese per singole località non ritenevo sufficienti come numero per poter comporre un album. Così le ho raggruppate e pubblicate. Il tuo benevolo commento mi solleva e mi incoraggia, soprattutto perchè viene da un competente in materia. Tornando a Sestri Levante, hai dimostrato il tuo grande impegno e abilità: puoi ritenerti soddisfatto del risultato, premiato anche dai numerosi e giustamente entusiasti messaggi nel guestbook. La grande qualità delle tue foto si vede, non solo prendendole singolarmente, ma gustandole in sequenza, anche ripetutamente. A me hanno dato la sensazione del viaggiatore che abbandona un luogo bellissimo, ed essendo innamorato di quel luogo, allontanadosi, volge lo sguardo indietro per riguardarlo e che più si allontana più lo riguarda, fino alla sua sparizione dalla vista. Ma per fortuna in tale luogo vi ritorna, per rimirarlo nuovamente, stavolta con una luce diversa. Bravissimo! Con amicizia. Luca... P.S.: attendo le tue foto da Firenze; Maurizio ne ha fatte alcune centinaia, e tu? Non credo che ti sia dimenticato la fotocamera a casa! Appena puoi mettile su Webshots, per favore. Invece per eventuali altre mie foto dalle montagne credo che dovrai attendere la fine dell'estate, quindi niente ansia... Ciao

  • Hello Ruggero, my dear Italian tourist guide, I promise I am telling you the truth. Our big world is really SMALL, I am just beginning to see your new album, and my email alert me I have a new message right at this moment. AND IT IS RIGHT FROM YOU, ONE OF MY FRIENDS! I really don't know what to say about your pictures, because all your friends have used up all the good words. Simply telling you my feeling, I am jealous of you for living in the Shangri-la, or the heaven of the whole universe. Your every single picture, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have rainy season? Do you have cloudy weather? Or you are truly the God of the Beautiful Scenery? And you have the power to change bad weather to an excellent one whenever you want to take a picture???????? Thanks God from C.S.

The meeting was a wonderful event...It must have been great to walk those streets with him! I am at work right now, but I want to look at this album in detail.

  • Hi Ruggero. As I said a great album, which makes you long for sunny holidays. Well done. Thanks for you kind words in my guestbook on the Keukenhof. Glad you enjoyed it too. It was so much fun to make the photos there with my new Nikon 8700. Everything you want was there; beautiful sunny weather, the most beautiful and proud flowers of Holland all over the place, my new love my lightweight camera which gives me the opportunity to choose with a little zoomknob whether this will be a landscape or a macro… yes …no. ….?....no better landscape here…. It is all great fun! As many people entered my Keukenhof guestbook (so far 13 pages…) I hope you don’t mind I send you some text which I sent to others too. Greetings and thanks for tiptoe-ing in my tulips. Anna Oldenhave, The Netherlands

My favourite is 014-Silence Bay from the footpath....It stopped me in my tracks, so to say!If your Italian friend below considers that the map is not necessary, well - I for my part - consider it necessary and even thank you for being so thoughtful!

Two of our favorite views are 'yellow beauty...' and 'Night swing in the silence'. We like the night pictures with the beautiful reflections in the water. Thanks for showing us the Italy map that helps us situate this extraordinary place. With a 'bonjour' from France, Henri and Käthi (originaly Swiss, we often have been in your beautiful country!)

  • Marcon-Ve, 14.05.2004 Gentile Ruggero, chiedo venia, ma mi ero affrettato a rispondere a vecchia posta rimasta ferma per i problemi al computer. Ho guardato le tue foto e mi piacciono per le tonalità dei colori e la loro saturazione. Queste di Sestri hanno dei bellissimi colori ove vengono messi in risalto i pastelli delle facciate, con tonalità calde, piene. Belle, belle. Salutoni ancora. Lamberti Giancarlo gilambe@tin.it

  • Marcon-Ve, 14.05.2004 Gentile Ruggero, mi sono beccato il virus telematico ed ho avuto il computer in reinstallazione programmi ed antivirus. Ringrazio per il precedente commento sulla Spagna. Quanto prima riprenderò ad inserire foto in rete e stò pensando di crearmi un sito (vedremo). Ho visto le rose di Katifelkai: - sono belle, ma, se posso in senso benevolo, tecnicamente mancano di corposità e "trucchetti& quot;. Non gioca con le ombre/luci, non crea la rugiadina, non usa la luce più bassa per dare più trasparenza ai petali, ecc. ecc. In ogni caso sono sempre delle rose stupende e mi sembra di sentirne il profumo. Sempre se mi è concesso ed accettabile, consiglia la tua amica di riprovare, cercando di far staccare il fiore dal fondo, giocando con le luci e con un pochino di contrasto. Il fiore deve "uscire&quot ; dal fondo facendo risaltare di netto le sue sfumature, i suoi volumi colorati. Non voglio assolutamente essere un insegnante di fotografia, ma, prova e riprova, le soddisfazioni, dopo, sono più grandi ed in questo campo vale la pena "fotografare, autocriticare, rifotografare". Prima o poi ci scappa la foto "bella" e lì impari per le volte successive, magari puntando a non voler far tutto, altrimenti il rischio è quello di farlo diventare un hobby costoso. Siamo in partenza per la Sicilia. Vedremo cosa ne esce (ho deciso tutto Velvia 50). Salutoni. Lamberti Giancarlo gilambe@tin.it

  • Accidenti Ruggero, hai lavarato dalla mattina fino a notte inoltrata ! A parte gli scherzi, un gran bel reportage su questo angolo di Liguria, hai saputo esaltare ogni particolare di questo lembo di terra con delle meravigliose foto curate nei minimi dettagli, una ricchezza di colori saturi, una luce perfetta e una grande bravura nel comporre il Tuo prezioso Album. Complimenti ottimo lavoro Ciao, Walter....

  • Hello Ruggero, bellissimo album ! I don't speak italian and I am sorry. I would have liked to tell you in your native language how your Silence bay is wonderful : my husband family is originated from Italy (his name is ROCCIA - and my name too !) and even if I don't know this language, it always sound to me as the most beautiful language of the earth ! And your album is just looking as your language : a pure beauty to my eyes as Itlaian is a pure delight to my ears ! I can't say which photos are my favorites : they are all so marvelous ! Just let's say that # 52, 56 and 61 are over-beautiful ... I will probably go back to your album each time I need some confort : your album is a pure moment of peace and joy and beauty ! Thanks for sharing with us so beautiful photos. Have a nice week, and thanks again, friendly, Chantal

  • Bellissime foto per un album ricchissimo di colori, stili e composizioni. E' evidente una ricerca di uno stile proprio e lo studio e la voglia di ricercare nuove "frontiere&q uot; fotografiche. Stai saggiando l'intero mondo fotografico: COMPLIMENTI per la continua evoluzione e per le bellissime emozioni che ci trasmetti. Maurizio. Italy
