Dolomites #8

This was a fun shot to do.  We were on top of a mountain looking at the top of an even bigger mountain.  I did a small hike and came to a location where I could see everything at once.  It set the focal length of my 24-70mm zoom to 50mm and found the optimal exposure.  I then did a series of shots in 4 rows.  Photoshop stitched these together.  I love panos and this one works to show the whole mountain.    I’ll publish a few more here over the coming days.

The light and clouds keep blessing u this week.  Last night we had another excellent evening with the moon to make for some marvelous images.  The PODAS workshop week continues and we are having a blast shooting a lot of different locations.  I am too tired to even download images tonight but will try to catch up tomorrow.  Hope you enjoy this image.

Some things here in the dolomites are too hard to describe.  It’s all rather post cardish and just plain pretty.  Like this image.  Here is a church with these great mountains as a background and beautiful skies to go with it.  These images are all being made as part of the Phase One PODAS workshop presently going on.  We will be shooting through Saturday so expect more images.

Dolomites After The Sun Goes Down
Dolomites After The Sun Goes Down

For the last few days we have been blessed with amazing light and clouds.  This makes for some great early morning and late shooting.  we are typically leaving at 5AM and coming back by 9:30.  Then, we leave again around 3:30 and return around 9PM.  It’s all about getting the shot.  Once again for this shot I stretched it a bit but made an image with impact.  I guess I am going through a phase .  This was shot after the sun went down and the sky took on an amazing after glow.

While shooting a sunrise in Tuscany we stumbled onto an abandoned farm house.  It was wonderful exploring it and I did come out with some nice images.  This is an image of a room where I believe barrels were made.  It was just about complete darkness.  I used a Phase One IQ260 that is great for long exposures.  the exposure was a long one and yielded a surreal image.  I hope you like it.

Tuscany Wall

Tuscany is known for never ending landscapes and rolling hells.  There also numerous small towns and villages which offer unique and fun places to shoot.  This is an image form a very small community.  The wall just begged to be photographed.  I love the expose brick and color of the wall plus the color of the window.
