I am fortunate that I sometimes get to travel to (or near to) interesting destinations through my day-job as an engineer. My most recent trip took me to Basel, Switzerland, and I was able to combine this business trip with a personal family trip to Italy. We spent about a day in Verona, followed by a day and a half in Venice. This is much too short a time to experience all that Venice has to offer. I would say for a photographer you need about 2 days to see all of the attractions such as museums and churches, if you are so inclined, as well as 2-3 days of walking and photographing the city.
The weather worked in our favor. The first evening we were there provided some very nice light as well as clouds (cloudless skies are so boring). In contrast the second day was rainy, so I feel lucky that we had even that short amount of good weather to work with.
I will follow with more detailed posts about our experiences in Venice, and how they relate to the photographs we made. Here is a representative photo from the walkway near St. Mark's Square, looking across the lagoon towards the San Giorgio Maggiore church.
