Cuxhaven – Skyfire
Took the chance to take some shots in the Cuxhavener Küstenheiden. The sky was really nice. First picture was done using the D800 with the Zeiss 35mm cropped to 16:9 format. The 18mm was too wide for this. Above picture shows the same view but using the D800 with the Zeiss 18mm. The image is […]

The main shot The Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta was visited in 2016 as well. Unfortunately only at a time of the day when the sun was high up in the sky.

Planning Tuscany 2017 – The Houses
