Staffarda Abbey

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted March 9, 2010454 views13 comments

A panoramic view of the Abbey of Staffarda, one of the oldest and better conserved in the world, under the heavy snowfall of yesterday afternoon.

Your c&c are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for your time.

Details: Eos 50D, Tamron SP 28-75 f2,8, tripod. 5 horizontal stitched.

P.S. because of the almost 4:1 aspect ratio, the larger image is a must click

Paolo
A very picturesque image. The larger image really brings out the wintery mood. Was this a stitched image?

That's a wonderful shot, Paolo. Reminds me of my painting days where I always left the borders of the images white as well.

I like this Paulo - the snow and white sky really simplifies the scene and the falling snow gives it character.

Very nicely done, Paulo. I love the natural vignetting. I also like your cropping. Just enough space, but not too much. Excellent balance. Bravo!
