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. […]
Planning Tuscany 2017 – Siena
We did not make it to Siena in 2016, this time we plan to go there by train. From Pienza by car to Buonconvento (Stazione) and then directly to Siena by train. The first train is running at after 8am, so it will be impossible to be at Piazza del Campo before the tourists arrive. Sightseeing Tour. On the walk […]
