Early morning I wanted to go for a shooting at Agriturismo Palazzo Conti and the area around there. That part is rarely seen on any pictures on the net but is really a nice location to shoot. The evening was planned to go for another shooting at Agriturismo Baccoleno. This time from the hill near the […]

Tuscany 2017 – Day 7
On day 7 we did a short ride to La Foce to see the ZigZag Cypress-Way of Podere Casanova. Later the day we did another trip to Radicofani and later the day another attempt for the chapel Cappella di Vitaleta. Daytrip
Tuscany 2017 – Day 6
On Saturday we did a daytrip to Siena which we missed in 2016. On the way to Siena we saw several marshals at street-crossings wondering what that could be for. In Buonconvento there were also a lot of audience at the street through the village. There we go, a sign told us: Mille Miglia 2017. […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 5
On the fifth day we did not travel around that much, instead we spent the day in Pienza and did relax a bit. Early morning we tried again at Podere Belvedere to grab some misty morning hours, but, without luck. Although, the sunrise was quite good. Around lunchtime we had a look at the […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 4
On day 4 we decided to run an early session at Agriturismo Terrapille for some morning shots. Having explored the area on day 3 already we knew where we wanted to go. Above shot was done with wide angle lens but main shots where using short tele-lens (I used the 90mm Voigtländer on the D800). […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 3
Third day we decided to go to Montepulciano and spend the day there. In the morning I woke up quite early and did one round of shots close to the farmhouse. Later the day we tried Agriturismo Terrapille but the last location chosen did not work for me. So, not a lot of good […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 2
On the second day, I wanted to concentrate mainly on the previously defined locations. Therefore, we went to the first location of my list. Before sunrise we reached the location to shoot Podere Belvedere where all photographers meet at that time (about 10 were there or arrived later). Shortly before sunrise we went to the […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 1
After 1575 km we reached our destination, a farmhouse called Bonellino Vecchio, very late at 9pm. But, the next morning really made it up for such a long ride… I woke up quite early and had a first view into the valley from farmhouse’s garden. We definitely have chosen the right location for the stay. […]
Venice
The last stay was for 2 nights close to Venice. Mainly planned to avoid long travel time back home, we took the chance to have one day in the Lagoon City. Again, lots of people and selfie freaks around but for one day it was fine. We did not have a Cappuccino at the St Mark’s […]
Rome
After one week in Artimino we left for our second visit to Rome. We have been there in 2007 and just wanted to have another look at the Eternal City. Things have changed a lot. While in 2007 (we were there at a similar time of the year) there were a lot of visitors, this […]
