Planning Tuscany 2017 – Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta
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.

Just for one shot down to the “Alte Liebe”. With such conditions a black and whit edoes make a better job. Using the D800 with Zeiss 35f2 and Polarizer with 10-Stop ND. At f8 this was resulting in 30 seconds exposure time which smoothed the water quite well.

After the frost…
