🗄️ from my archives: magic hour in Belle Île, France 🕰️
My then boyfriend (now husband) took this pic of me during a summer holiday in Belle Île, Brittany. I distinctly remember having to walk through thorny bushes to get to this gorgeous spot. So worth it for the magnificent view!

🗄️ from my archives: Lago di Como #Italy 🕰️
One of my favorite spots in Como: the public gardens behind the Tempio Voltiano. (Fun fact: I went to high school in Como).
And completely unrelated, but profuse apologies if you left me a comment on my previous photo and I didn't reply. I'm self-hosting this Pixelfed instance and I have some problems with federation / notifications coming through 😅
Anyway, LOVING this space and this community ❤️

The owner of Meta wants more "masculine energy"? Well, I'm doing my best to bring my feminine energy to the Fediverse.
Hello! I'm Elena Rossini, an Italian filmmaker, photographer and FOSS advocate based in Paris, France.
Pictured here: at the Louvre museum after a portrait shoot (for a book jacket's author's pic: Monica Parker, The Power of Wonder). I'm proudly wearing around my neck my 3 cameras: a #Canon 5D Mark IV, a #Fujifilm X-T3 and a #Nikon Z fc (which has my favorite lens, a Sigma 30mm f/1.4).
I'm delighted to see Pixelfed growing into such a nice photo community.
🗄️ from my archives: lovers on Pont Neuf in Paris 🕰️
This is quite possibly one of my favorite #streetphotography photos, shot at magic hour on Pont Neuf a lifetime ago.
Since Covid + becoming a mom I haven't been able to resume street photography at magic hour, but looking forward to picking it up again in the future.
📷: #Nikon D90
Lens: probably a 50mm f/1.8 AIS (camera didn't register that info and it was taken a loooong time ago)

🗄️ from my archives: Villa Monastero in Varenna, Italy 🕰️
This is one of my favorite places in the whole world: #VillaMonastero in Varenna. It's on #LakeComo, on the Lecco side – a short boat ride from Bellagio.
The gardens and structures are impossibly beautiful - and yet this town is mostly overlooked in favor of Bellagio. I love this place so much that the day after my wedding I organized a trip here with friends and family. We would have gotten married here, too, if it wasn't for all the restrictions / limited space. All this to say: if you plan to visit Lake Como, make sure to stop in Varenna (boat stop after Bellagio) and in Lenno (boat stop before Bellagio). They are hidden gems!

🗄️ from my archives: my very first camera 🕰️
a photo showing the very first camera I ever owned: a #Canon Prima fixed lens film camera. Nowadays I mostly use a Canon 5D Mark IV for photo work... and sometimes a mirrorless Nikon and Fujifilm X-T3. Shot in my garden in Italy a looong time ago with a Nikon D80 and a 50mm f/1.8 AIS
