Romanesque on Lake Como
After finishing a site meeting in Como, I had time to explore some Romanesque monuments on Lake Como. This is the first part.
The Twelfth Century "Chiesa di Santa Maria del Tiglio", in Gravedona, at the North end of the lake is worth fighting through the horrific traffic on the narrow road to reach. It served as a Baptistry as well as a church. The walls of this building are over two metres thick at the base. It is in a lovely location by the lake.
I used a Laowa 15mm shift lens to make HDR sets when I photographed the massively imposing interior. The exterior was shot with my Nikon 24PC and a Laowa 15mm shift lens. Details were shot on a Z28-400, which is brilliant for this task.
It was a good day. I used my tripod for these shots and in this and the other places, nobody objected.
