Funny, I think i photographed those same building back in Fall of 2010. I think it was between Montalcino and Siena, but I was jumping out of the car all the time.
Pardon the Canon photo, it will never happen again
Yes, you are right... it is the famous small Chappell "Madonna di Vitaleta" and is located between Pienza and San Quirico d'Orcia. This view is taken from the road... there is a pedestrian track to reach the Chappell but in December, after many rainy days, there was too much mud
A shot of the rock formations at Golden Canyon behind Zabriskie Point. If you look real close to the right, you'll find 2 hikers standing on the ridge.
Agree! If I can get a shot within about 15 seconds, while in position, I'm ok. Otherwise, I have to put it down and wait a bit before trying again. But, sometimes the subject won't wait.
The results are worth it!
When I go back to the 100-400, it feels like a feather!
