Tourist-Free Rome - Moments In Time Ep 11

- Rome is one of the most fascinating and historically significant cities in the world and attracts visitors from all corners of the globe. The Eternal City is famous for its ancient architecture and there are so many outstanding locations to explore and photograph. Being such a famous city, Rome is also full of tourists, which can make it difficult to capture. In this episode, I share some of my all-time favorite photo spots like The Colosseum, The Forum, Ponte Sant’Angelo and more, while describing how to best shoot them and revealing how to beat the crowds and have the city all to yourself.
Tourism is a huge industry in Rome and love it or hate it, it attracts massive crowds. I take some time to catch up with my friend Julia Charity in Trastevere to discuss the impact of tourism and how a city like Rome can adapt as the numbers increase.
Aside from thousands of pigeons and seagulls, Rome isn’t known for its wildlife. But my good friend and internationally renowned wildlife photographer, Simone Sbaraglia, still calls it home. We visit his studio and gallery and discuss what sets his photography apart and how he uses wide-angle lenses instead of telephoto to create a feeling of intimacy with the animals in his photographs. Simone has a wonderful perspective on wildlife photography and works very hard to educate the public about safe and non-destructive practices in nature. We share our views on how we can preserve our beautiful planet for future generations.
In this Moments in Time series, we take a journey around the world together, and share about photography, travel, people, food, experiences, and everything that happens between the frames I capture. Join our Moments in Time Flickr community for access to two exclusive mini episodes, and new episodes will be published here on TH-cam every Tuesday morning.

Very interesting discussion with Simone. I am glad this series is not about shutterspeeds and f-stops but goes deeper into the meaning of photography.
Terrific discussions. I love and always look forward to these segments in Elia's videos
Matt Schulze I’m glad the focus on interviews and discussions is being noticed. My goal from the beginning was to create a balanced show that circled around photography without being overly technical.
@@EliaLocardi I could not agree more! I can always read or see reviews. Here I enjoy the whole experience that photography brings and or motivates through travel. It is the other dimension that gives another meaning to the art of photography. Technicality is limited to the tool itself, the experience is the whole package. Keep at it, it is flourishing.
@@EliaLocardi Indeed. Terrific, unique, fun, enjoyable, and educational content. I can't honestly think of any other content creator who consistently puts out work that has all of those criteria. Thank you Elia and your team for doing such incredible work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO, BECAUSE OF YOU WE JUST GOT THE MOST INCREDIBLE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS!!!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A new episode and a new discovery. I really love the discussion with different photographer, thanks Elia for this great format
Your photography, travels and interviews are the highlight of my week these days - keep up the great work!
Andy Currie thank you!
A wonderful video Elia. Full of fun and great tips. The T3 shot really impressed me. Cheers and safe travels
Ryan H thanks!
Great work Elia! I look forward to your videos every week. Please NEVER stop!
Steve Batiz we are gearing up for season 2.
Not much you can say but.... pure gold!!!! Except when these bloody tripods were so close to the edge :-0
Old Grumpy Jim they weren’t that close, or maybe... 😉
This series is just amazing
Very nice content again! 9mm shot is my favorite here. Looking forward to the next episode in beautiful Italy.
Every episode gives positive vibes .... Thank you 😎
vignesh raj thank you!
I think your videos are a good mix of travel and photography. I look forward to your next episode
awesome!! cant wait for the next video!!
A great video of Rome and I wished when I was there I had seen this video first. Simone conversation regarding wildlife was very interesting aspect of photographing animals.
For one of the best wildlife photographers is David Yarrow, his elephant photos are stunning !
2nd bridge video for my portfolio
great video, that discussion with simone, people are awesome.
This was wonderful. So interesting and great to watch!
Awesome video about Rome and wildlife photography with Simone....That tripod on the edge Elia, on THE EDGE!!!! I panicked! ;)
Aritz Atela haha! It’s not that bad. 😂
Once again, this just inspires me to go out and take photos!
Great episode again learning a lot from this series
Another awesome episode! Very informative with great tips shared not only by you, but also by the people you meet. Fascinating! I'm a fan! :)
JYLEET thank you!
Great episode as always. Thanks for sharing.
Love this series. Keep going with it!
Your best episode yet! Well, I'm extremely biased because I love Rome! I had to the opportunity to shoot some of your locations back in October 2018. I can see why you keep coming back to Rome! Good work Elia and Team!
Andrew Leggett Rome is definitely wonderful. Thanks!
Definitely prefer the 23mm. Looks more normal and the angle it was taken at was better in my opinion. Great videos. You're really good at them. Keep it up!
Robert Stevens thanks for the feedback!
How in the world are there not more subscribers to this channel. I absolutely loved this episode.
Christopher Rodgers thanks!
Rome is a amazing city! Just waiting for a chance to visit!
I'm loving this series. Elia, you have been an inspiration for me. Whenever I have the opportunity to travel, I'm always searching for places you have been and looking at the stunning photos you've taken as inspiration. In 2017 I went to Italy, and so far that was one of the most photogenic places I've been. And thanks to you, I made way to go and see Cinque Terre, and it was beautiful. It is bizarre that with all the social media craze, all the most famous places are always packed with photographers. Looking forward to the rest of the series. cheers
Jan Hovland That’s great to hear! I’m happy you made it to Cinque Terre. And years ago, I know places would become busier, but I never expect it to be so much from smart phones and the instant connection culture. Selfies have truly changed the landscape of travel.
Elia has a thing for putting his tripods on the edge of any surface possible and oh my does it give me anxiety every time!!! LOOL
lol
Another excellent segment in travel photography. Simone did say and grabbed my attention on this segment that life is important not photography definitely agree to it. But of course the photographs we capture help us appreciate the life we live and the places we visit or encounters we make. When the tools are well used enhances the experience that we can recall by looking at them. One of it are in this channel as well. Well, now I am motivated to go to Italy and experience all the tourists and sights. Thanks Elia great work.
Gino Rigucci nice!
Enjoyed your work every time, great job, keep it up.
Fantastic Video ! Very inspiring, thank you very much.
Great thanks Elia, this is a very valuable addition for planning to your Fstopper's tutorials in Rome, I look forward to my trip planned to Rome in November this year!
love your moments in time series!
Thanks! And thanks for sharing it as well! :)
awesome video as always, but was hard to keep watching at the end when your Tripods were so close to the edge for your San Angelo castle shot haha :) living in danger :)
Very informative video with lot of interesting informations in it.
Honestly I can’t wait every week to watch an episode ! Can’t it all be on Netflix so I can binge the whole thing 😭 !
CHINOsauvecito maybe season 2. 😊
I love both shots but if I had to choose I'd pick the zoomed 35mm one. I cant wait for your next video. Safe travels!
Prometheus Theseus thank you!
Along with several others, I was in Rome, visiting many of the same sites. We stayed a half a block from Trevi Fountain where I did get up at 5:00 a.m. I believe I was in the same location at the Roman Forum. Thanks so much for all of your videos. I especially loved this one because of our recent memories. I also, just returned from Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Thanks for your tips from that region of the world as well. Now, if I just had a tidbit of your photographic skills!
Brad Zaruba thanks! Which city was your favorite?
Prague and it’s views win out but had a great time in each. As hard as I looked I couldn’t find the Blue Danube!
Great Chapter, not just o the technical masterwork (...as usual !) but discussing on a deeper level situations that as photographers we need to face "on the outside world", great sharing views ...on that subject ... I wonder what is your take on the touristic places that don't allow photography (like Sixtine Chappel or inside of Venice San Marco's) .. again, thanks for your work and inspiration.
ignacio santonja well, it’s a balance of either respecting the rules or trying to go through the proper channels for seeking permission. Sometimes it’s as easy ask asking.
Great episode! Rome is an awesome place for architectural photography and food. Hoping to return!
Thanks Albert!
I like the tighter version better. Love the videos.
Gary Scaife thanks!
I get so many tips watching your videos and will definitely apply this to when I am going to travel. Enjoying it so much. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words!
@@EliaLocardi Just wondering, what tripod are you using?
♥ love your Videos
Waiting for so long for your video ... finally Thank you Elia :)
Thanks! We hit a delay due to the recent hurricane.
Gorgeous place, nice vid chap
and another great video. and I love, that you are meeting with locals and get their story.
will you visit Germany anytime soon? would love to see the master doing his great work in real life. thanks for your work.
Sebastian Reinhardt Germany? I’m not sure actually. It depends on Photokina next year.
I love wildlife photography, I like it to be closeup photos, normally i go with that
And black and out with wildlife is a real art, and it's very hard to achieve
I would use this one for my portfolio
As a photographer about to travel to Rome for the first time: great timing and many thanks!
Nice! Enjoy Rome!
Great video!!! I hope you will come to Florence one day
I like the tighter shoot more out of the two. Grey job as always 👍
Amazing again,beautiful images :)
Thanks!
Great video 👍
I prefer the 23mm shot because the main subject is larger in the frame, but the wide shot also looks great ;-)
RAWSTER Photo thanks!
Again a wonderful video Elia. You make the viewer feel like they are there with you as you travel to different locations
Tom N. Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
Another great video I would use either photo they Were both great.
love your very mature approach at presenting info/content, watched you on fstoppers, ALL episodes, As for your question.. I prefer the 23mm over the 9..the 9mm has my eye bounceing between the castle then back to the background more visible under the first bridge arch. Jack..From Bortle 8 Seattle,
wonderful video and with your work you have made my Italy more beautiful💯💯💯🇮🇹 , come to me in Taranto, take a ride between Alberobello, Matera, etc.😁😁😁😁
ivan rago I love Matera! Amazing place.
Italian epicness!
Yes! With extra wine, of course.
Rome is nice but too busy. Looking forward to your video about Bassano de Grappa and what locations you chose to shoot there. Have been there last year and took some photos along the river and from the air. Food is also pretty good there :-)
Fritz G the food is great! And don’t forget, the Grappa. 🍸 😊
The kitty photo is my fav... 🤣🤣 The tight shot looks the best... Skylum sky replacement AI is out soon, may be all our flat skies may start to look cool
Soo Khiang OO1 The team at Skylum has been doing amazing things lately.
yeap. i seen the demo it’s great.
Great video as always. I really enjoyed your conversation with Simone Sbaraglia. His work is very distinct in style for the genre and as a wildlife photographer myself, truly appreciated. I look forward to your next video from the north. Have you ever spent any time in the Aosta Valley or on Lake Como?
James Johnston not yet but Naomi and I were considering visiting.
@@EliaLocardi You really should go to both areas. Lake Como is beautiful and all of the little (or huge) villas are picturesque on the lake with the hills and mountains in the background. Vall d'Aosta and St. Vincent are lovely. The towns are all surrounded by mountains with the Alps to the North. The area is officially French speaking but very Italian in feel, with castles and rail line that runs through the valley stopping at all of the little towns. The Italian version of the "Oscars" is held in St. Vincent and the best steak I ever ate was found there as well.
Very good video, some good tips, and of course some very nice images. :-) You were a bit luckier than I was at the Colosseum a few years ago, at 5am after walking through the city for 3-4 hours, and the two soldiers parked in their 4wd at the end of that cobbled path right in front of the Colosseum decided they didn't want to move when I asked if it was possible they could. :-/ I was so stunned at the time, I found it funny after walking through the city for 4 hours. Lol You can only plan so much. ;-)
Exactly. There's only so much planning you can do before you just need to rely on a little bit of luck.
Great video Elia! I've Rome. Parla italiano? I prefer the 50S shot because on the XT-3 shot the first arch on the left attracts my eye to the corner (too bright and contrasty)
Gilbert Sauvé Thanks for the feedback and yes, I speak a bit.
Very inspiring, just makes you want to grab a camera and go on adventure. Thanks
Sappy Sapp then go! 😊
Another great tour of locations. BTW there are a couple of spelling mistakes with Simone's title card.
Calum Cree good to know!
I love your video's especially this one of my home town Rome!
sergio basilioli thanks!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos!
Is two TFC-14 tripods do you use ?
You're seeing the TVC-34 4 Section and the TQC-14 in this video.
Elia Locardi That’s was I thought. I’m waiting for you next videos. Thank you!
Elia, really enjoying the moments in time series. Great continuation for someone who has went through the photographing the world tutorials. One question, how do you pack your bigger tripods for flights? I recently got the TVC-34 with a BH-55 head, flown with it once attached to the side of my pack, but ended up just carrying in my hand to the gate after security. Wasn’t bad, just wondered if you had a better solution. Thanks!
Dan O'Bruba Thanks! I check the TVC-34 and carry on a TQC-14 as a backup/second.
Thanks! Much appreciated. Looking forward to the next episode
Made me so nervous looking at that set up next to the water. I was in Zion and had some bozo trip and knock my camera and tripod off a 80 foot cliff. Great video though. BTW, I think I like the 9mm best because of the size of the nearest arch. My eye automatically entered the image there
Thanks for the feedback!
Finally the Roman forum without any vehicles to replace!!!
Great episode.
Is it possible to get, from the bottom of the river, the Castel, the bridge and st Peter?
Axel Duhau yes, with a drone but it’s forbidden now unfortunately.
@@EliaLocardi ergo no 😔always too late!! Nice episode see you next Tuesday (?)
First one to watch 😎😎😎 first like😎😎😎
Don't end this Elia😓😓😓
Nice!
another interesting episode in the series, your last location was best I think - and the 23mm shot much better angle.
Elia, can you explain alittle abit about your last shot? you were shooting at every 30sec? what mode are you shooting on? and do you use all the pic and merge them up as the final picture?
Man, us Italians soooo love to talk! 😆
If you haven’t been, Lucca is also a great little city to visit.
I've heard. It's just a matter of time before we make it there.
Re the two images at the end: I prefer the first.
Beautiful intro at the start of the video...is there any template for this or u made it from scratch!
Kazim Raza hope. It’s completely custom built.
@@EliaLocardi Oky u shud put that up on the site somewhere ideally for free download or may be payed :) its very creative and it does gives the feel of something to do with Time as intended.Ur lucky to do wt ur doing i wud love to do it myself!anyways Thanks for the Reply! :)
i would use the 9mm shot, the right hand side almost took control ... but didnt.
Don't forget that many other photographers are trying to photograph the same subject, Elia. At 17:50 you stepped in front of the guy with blue jacket at the stairs who looks like he shoots in the same direction. Don't be selfish at popular places. Not only you here, buy I see this everywhere. One set up a perfect composition and one wait for the light, and then someone barges inn in front of you and "set up a camp". The moral is... always look for people behind you that are clearly there also for photography..
Hans Jørgen Lindeløff true in regards to always being as courteous as possible. But if you look closely, he’s shooting towards the bridge, not towards me. And he’s shooting wide which means that he has that group of people sitting on the river edge as well.
Like then watch
what time were you in those places to not find people and be able to photograph with all the tranquility?
vicman sa as early as possible.
What lens did you use to capture the bridge? The 24mm one
The Fujifilm GF 32-65
Thanks!
The Romans invented concrete. But what else did the Romans do for us? Enjoyable video Elia.
Invention of:
Money
Alphabet
Calendar
Mail by horse
Aqueducts
Public Bath
Sewer system
Bridges
Paved Roads
But the worst is that your comment is praised with a heart which disqualifies the IQ of the "administrator" , but then, they are Americans, have no pedigree and culture, country is 300 years old, building in my street are twice as old !!
@@RS-Amsterdam Yes, but what did the Romans really do for us?
@@AlexLancashirePersonalView Inventing all those things , isn't that enough.
Or do you like to shit in front of your house ?
They gave the foundation for the alphabet, that's why we can communicate instead of drawing pictures .
@@RS-Amsterdam Have you never watched The Life of Brian with the Monty Python team? Just a reference to that movie.
@@AlexLancashirePersonalView yes but that was ages ago,hehehe. Am I making a foul out of my self here hehehehehehe. Anyway, thumbed you up
I never realized that the Coliseum was being cannibalized for parts once it was no longer being used for same purposes Romans were using it for. I always thought it looked the way it did not natural erosion over the years and being invaded by different nations after the Roman Empire fell.
mythdusterds you’ll find random pieces of the colosseum all over Rome in different buildings.
Why didnt you move the garbage out of the frame? Saves post! I keep a few pairs of latex disposable gloves in my bag just for purposes like that.
Gordon Johnston too much garbage, and too much time involved. Look at the before frame again.
ehat backpack do you wear?
txicaa A combination of ThinkTank and MindShift.
elia please visit mysore india.
sameer asr working on a few spots in India soon.
just to let everyone know, the real main source of income in Rome is kickbacks system ;) I'm obviously joking...maybe not too much
giovanni pilia haha, well, I definitely know better than to debate Italian politics. 😉
Man if only you had spoken to him about monkeys before Cambodia lol haha
Marcus Brown 😂😂
Its an old video .
I don't agree with Simone Sbaraglia philosophy that one need to be so close and intimate with animals to photograph using wide angle/ultrawide angle lenses. These animals accepting him? How? Did they say they have accepted him? And he making these images after these animals accept him... I think to me it looks crazy!! He should know primarily why people use telephoto lenses, it is because we dont want to go upclose to these wild animals because we don't want to disturb, cause trouble and distress... Shooting up close using ultra wide angle lenses is no more a new genre...
krishna R it’s definitely a different way of working and it also produces a different feeling in the resulting photo. We talk about different methods and philosophies on this show- since there are many.
@@EliaLocardi I fully agree with you on different way of working and philosophy, but my larger point is, as wildlife photographers we should not cause discomfort and ethically inappropriate to touch and/or handle these animals. But stunning imagery. Always love your videos... Thanks
Not gonna lie, Rome has never been my kind of place. Even before the slEasyJet-Set invasion I only ever cared about seeing friends and having good food with nice people.
So just shoot everything at night. And about the garbage, could just clean it. And leave the photo with garbage, make people ashamed. Maybe next time they wanna litter, they'll think about it.
LordArioh I wish it were that simple. Part of the problem is there are not enough garbage bins in Rome to handle the amount of people. It spills over constantly.
@@EliaLocardi well, even less in Japan, but you can see the difference))
