In June of 2016, I had the privilege and pleasure of spending a couple of days in Rome, Italy with my family. During the day we sweated our way around the city, cooling off with some gelato and the occasional trip to one of Rome’s many fountains. One evening, however, I had the opportunity to grab my little Fuji Xpro-1, my Benro tripod, and my Sunwayfoto CR-30 pano head and hop on the metro. My destination? Back to the Colosseum.

Ordinarily I would choose one or maybe two of these photos to post, mostly because I dislike having multiple shots from the same location (that were taken on the same evening) in my portfolio. However, in this case I thought that the changing light, the changing angles, and even the people I happened to capture in these scenes were different enough that posting all of my panoramas would be a fun change of pace. Plus, I’m really missing Rome and thought I’d slake my thirst for travel with some photo editing.

So without too much further ado, here are my panoramas, as taken in chronological order.
