Italy Pienza at twilight
A fabulous breathtaking view no doubt, one of the best from which to shoot the beautiful rolling hills of Pienza and its Poppy fields and enjoy the epic sunsets on the ancient walls of the town. Having said that, it was one and only time I had ventured this path, never to be repeated again, as this "dirt road" going uphill as steep as the edge of a cliff and as narrow as a ribbon, is not meant for the weak- and faint-hearted. I made it alright but all the while I was praying no car would come my way or else I would roll down the hill like a pebble.
Photography Tips
A tripod is a must, filters if you wish during sunset and a zoom lens. I had with me the 28-300 mm.
