I'll be in Venice for less than 24 hours in mid August and want to get a few photos at sunset (6:00 to 9:00 p.m.) and sunrise (6:00 a.m. to 10:00a.m.) Haven't been there in several years and am looking for suggestions for shooting locations. Assume I only have time to walk to 4 different spots in the evening and the morning. Which would you pick? I want to take advantage of the morning and evening light. I am not trying to find something unique as I know I will be fighting for space with other photographers at every stop regardless of the time.

My hotel is midway between St. Marks and the Rialto Bridge. Any suggestion for a dinner restaurant?

Been there twice, I enjoyed riding the Vaporetto water taxi down the Grand Canal at sunset, used my 50mm 1.8 lens. You will cover more area on the boat than by any other means. Go to the stern of the boat about 2 hours before sunset. You get an unobstructed view of activity- boats going by, couples in gondolas, beautiful buildings and golden tones. Pick a route that stays local near some icons like the Rialto bridge. It will go back and forth over the same area, and you can quickly become familiar with the good shots as you approach sunset. There is a local restaurant Taverna Al Remer (http://www.alremer.it/) that is positioned on the canal near Rialto. The street
entrance is near the square of the church of San Bartolomeo. Food is fabulous, happy hour is not to be missed. There is a landing at the restaurant with a view of Rialto that is said to be HAUNTED! Enjoy...

The Vapperato is a great suggestion. Hadn't thought of it. Thanks
