I am totally in love with Tuscany. It’s a very different kind of landscape as it is big and broad and lacks a lot of foreground that I am so used to using in typical landscape shots. So, I rely on light and the composition to keep the eye moving in the right direction. This is some magic light. After an early morning sunrise shoot we were driving down the road and there was great light lighting up the hillside through breaks in the clouds. Made with the Phase One IQ160 camera with a 240mm lens.
I have been and will be in Tuscany all week. I am leading a Phase One PODAS worksop tour. The weather has been excellent, the group great and the photography fantastic. I’ll be posting a lot of images over the coming weeks, but for now please enjoy this image of trees.
The last two days have been very busy prepping for the PODAS Tuscany workshop that officially kicks off on April 21st. Tuscany is a landscape photographers dream. The villages and landscapes are exceptional. Tuscany also takes on a whole new look at dawn and sunset. This will be where we spend most of our time focusing our photography. We have early morning shoots as well as sunset shoots planned from Sunday through next Saturday. I’ll be posting images as often as I can so you can share our adventure through Tuscany. Please come back often and visit. For now I’ll leave you with the sunrise shot taken yesterday. Made with the NEW IQ260 and 240mm lens. This is turning out to me my favorite combination. The 240mm lens is one of the best lenses I have eve used. The sharpness and contrast is second to none. It’s going to be a long week and we have a great team and attendees from all over the world.
