Tour starts from the theater, a photo from Milan, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

The Teatro alla Scala in Milan reflected in the glass of the Milanese City Tour bus, in the WS you can see a classic view.
It is the main opera house in Milan. Considered among the most prestigious theaters in the world, for 244 years it has hosted the main artists in the international field of opera, ballet and classical music.
The building, designed by Giuseppe Piermarini and inaugurated in 1778, was built on the ashes of the previous Teatro Ducale, which was destroyed by a fire in 1776; it owes its name to the church of Santa Maria alla Scala, demolished to make way for the theater inaugurated on August 3, 1778, under the then reign of Maria Theresa of Austria, with the opera The recognized Europe composed for the occasion by Antonio Salieri.
From the year of its foundation it has been the seat of the homonymous choir, orchestra, corps de ballet, and since 1982 also of the Philharmonic. The theater complex is located in the square of the same name, flanked by the Ricordi Casino, home to the La Scala Theater Museum.

Hello Luciano,
An amazing reflection photo, the beautiful buildings are so wonderfully distorted by the large windscreen of the bus. They are also very nicely sunlit. Also the City Tour sign is a nice detail.

Hello Luciano,
It's a famous building and institution, and it's very neatly reflected in the bus window. It's not very much distorted, so the best effect is the inclusion of the City Tour sign. That is a very nice addition to the composition.

You should have followed the bus on your Vespa through the city and documented other famous buildings the same way. That would have been a really good city tour for all of us. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Luciano,
I see in your main photo that people are queuing for the tour. Hopefully they don't forget to look in the window to take an original photo.
The slightly distorted reflections look more attractive than the classic view of the main facade.
Best regards, Paul

I remember I passed in front this famous theater but I didn't like it. probably the internal part is more interesting. excellent use of the reflections with the letters and the face of the driver in evidence mixed with the fa鏰de of the theater.

take care

Hi Luciano.
A creative and original composition, with this image reflected in the bus of the opera building, we can also see the image of a passenger is more blurred, the smooth curves of the building is very interesting, the photo of the WS with the real image is a perfect comparison.
Magnificent composition and color, as well as an excellent
brightness and sharpness.
Good job. I love the photo.
Have a great day. Very best regards.
Luis.

Interesantan i lep pogled, dobar tekst ...
Lep refleks i stara arhitektura, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad sa lepom fotografijom u radionici.
Lepa stara zgrada teatra.
Lepo secanje.

Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje.

Ciao Luciano, bell'idea e anche la visione classica merita di essere vista, questo poi l'ha progettato un mio quasi paesano, ho avuto modo di conoscere un architetto Piermarini suo discendente, riflesso molto bello e anche la scritta City tour ci sta molto bene, bravo, ciao Silvio

ktanska (44758) 2022-02-15 11:17

Hi Luciano,
That City Tour text makes this reflection shot perfect! Classic buildings look good and it is fun to see people both in front of the bus and inside it.

Hello Luciano,

This is your second reflection shot and you are good in in this genre. The man's face on the left top against the historic building is price-less.

Best Wishes,
gy.

Bonsoir Luciano,

Une composition qui est originale. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails des reflets du th殁tre de la Scala sur le pare-brise de l'autobus. La lumi鑢e met en valeur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soir閑.

Hello Luciano,
I like the reflection better than the real thing. Is that the tour guide we see inside?

COSTANTINO (116452) 2022-02-15 21:06

Hello dear Luciano and have a nice day
I like the way you captured
this photo in an original
way with the Teatro all scala
in Milan reflected in the glass
of the Milanese City Tour bus
thanks for your useful notes
regards
Costantino

Hu Luciano
2 good photos of the theatre but I definitely like you warped version as the main one.
cheers
Ian

Ciao Luciano,
I see you try to satisfy both creative photographer inside you and also simple minded people like myself who like to see postcard like photos as well.
The main scene has a charming distortion and a bit of artistic mess while in the workshop we can verify all the angles etc.
Very well done,
M

aliabazari (22149) 2022-02-16 7:16

Hello Luciano
A beautiful view of this architecture in the glass of the bus. The reflection of different elements in the bus glass adds to the complexity of the image. The phrase city tour is used for this image. Well seen

BennyV (34748) 2022-02-16 12:37

Ciao Luciano

My favourite part here is the reflection/view of the guide or driver in the top. Not that sure about the bits of head below, I wonder if you could have either avoided them or else do more with them.

Benny

Hi Luciano
Good glass distortions, it pays to look around and this also emphasizes the benefit of having the camera with you all the times.
Best regards

foxy (3461) 2022-02-17 2:55

Hello Luciano,
The sign is the main 'attraction' of the City Tour as itself.
And I see that it has also attracted a lot tourists ... seemed to be fully 'booked'.
I like the classic clean view( WS )as well as this 'hustle & bustle' inside view :-)
Tfs,
Loong

ikeharel (113319) 2022-02-17 3:36

Ciao Luciano,
Nice reflection of the famous oera house.
Visiting Milano three times expected that the La-Scala building would make greater ipression on me, as knew the place from childhood.
Nonetheless, the facade has its imposing scale and magnitude.
Arrivederci,
Ike

emka (158128) 2022-02-18 18:35

Hello Luciano, Interesting reflection in the front of the tourist bus. We see the guide inside. and indeed, it is La Scala as I remember it.

Best regards Malgo

everlasting (19680) 2022-02-19 8:26

the reflection of the tour guide steals the show for me here, he has seen it all before..An original image well executed and presented.

ChrisJ (171822) 2022-02-19 22:21

Hi Luciano

I did one of these city tours around Vienna. But found my own way back to the National Theatre by Metro, where I spent more time. I like the distortions and reflections in the bus window. Tfs!

jean113 (27853) 2022-02-20 3:55

Hello Luciano, a clever shot with an excellent reflection of the world famous building.
It is like a riddle, trying to work out exactly what we are viewing.
We see people in the shadows, and then I see the hand of the driver on the steering wheel!
The slight distortion of the reflection adds to our overall impression.
Kind regards, Jean.

worldcitizen (16068) 2022-03-01 11:58

Ciao Luciano,
Sorry I'm late with my critiques. :-) I really like this kind of photo. The reflections are great, but I also really like that words "city tour" are in the window, too. We can see the man standing on the left side as well. Very nice. :-)
