Conversano Castello Aragonese di Notte, Photographer Harold Longone #Photography
Conversano – Castello Aragonese
Sulla sommità del colle su cui sorge Conversano si erige, maestoso, il Castello comitale ristrutturato e ingrandito in seguito alla successione delle varie famiglie di conti. Il nucleo più antico, costruito nell’XI secolo, su commissione del primo conte Goffredo Altavilla il Normanno, corrisponde alla poderosa torre maestra alta 25 m. Tale torre poggiava sui resti delle mura megalitiche del IV secolo a.C., fu fatta ultimare dai conti Brienne nel XIII secolo. Agli Altavilla successero numerose famiglie che innalzarono i rispettivi vessilli sulle torri; esse furono: i Bassavilla (1134- 1187), i Brienne (1269- 1356), i d’Enghien (1357- 1381), i Lussemburgo (1381- 1407), i Barbiano (1411- 1422), i Caldora(1434- 1440), gli Orsini del Blazo (1440- 1455) e gli Acquaviva(1456- 1806) della cui famiglia, a Conversano, si susseguirono ben diciassette conti.

Canon's Rebel T3i / 600D reviewed: not exactly a compelling upgrade (video)
Shocker of shockers — the T3i really isn’t a monumental upgrade from the T2i that came before it. Granted, you could probably glean as much from the raw specifications list, but at least we’ve got a handful of reviews now to confirm it. The folks at Camera Gear Guide have a fairly exhaustive critique up, and while they lauded the overall image quality and the addition of the new video features (a digital in-shoot zoom and a swiveling LCD), they couldn’t wholeheartedly recommend it as an upgrade for existing T1i and T2i owners. Even for newcomers to the mid-range DSLR game, Canon’s own 60D seems infinitely more compelling at just $100 more, and it’s also hard to ignore Sony’s SLT-A55 for $50 less than what the T3i is retailing for. That’s not to say the T3i wasn’t impressive; quite the opposite, in fact. But it seems as if you’ll need to seriously survey the competition before deciding that this one’s worth your hard-earned Benjamins.

Not looking for a new PowerShot? How’s about a new DSLR? Canon has just rolled out a new entry-level Rebel and a new flagship Rebel this evening, with the T3 (1100D) and T3i (600D) offering mild updates over their predecessors. The EOS Rebel T3 will ship at the end of March with a EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II zoom lens for $599.99, offering up a 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 Imaging processor, nine-point autofocus system and a 63-zone dual-layer metering system. You’ll need to provide your own SD, SDHC or SDXC card, but unlike entry-level bodies of the past, this guy will capture full-motion video at 1280 x 720. There’s an ISO range of 100 to 6,400, a pop-up flash and a newfangled Basic+ non-technical interface that should help beginners grow accustomed to more technical aspects of photography without the steep learning curve.
