The Temple of Castor and Pollux
The Temple of Castor and Pollux is one of the ancient ruined buildings in the Roman Forum.
Today the temple consists of three marble pillars, some foundational structure and little more. It can be seen from a variety of vantage points from around the Forum.
I composed this image to get maximal sky between the columns, providing what I feel is the strongest image.
A polarising filter was an important addition to my kit for this shoot, allowing me to minimise glare.
The Temple of Vesta is also a key feature in the Roman Forum, and from this vantage point we can see that there is another view of the Temple of Castor and Pollux.
This one also has reasonable sky, but there is a bit more clutter. Both are interesting images, but for my liking the featured image, with less clutter, is the better perspective.
Regardless of your preference, exploring a site and getting multiple image of a subject from a variety of vantage points gives maximum chance of getting a ‘keeper’.
