Gerace 16
For me this will always be my favorite shot of Gerace some might say I was lucky to catch it and you would be right if you call luck pouring over maps, shot locations, as well as sun tracking apps to arrange a multi km route so that I ended up right at Porta del Sole when the sun rose. One tool that I use consistently is the Photographers Ephemeris with this tool I can drop a pin on a map and see what direction the light of the sun or moon will take at any given time even far into the future when you will be visiting a place. All my preplanning might seem excessive but I find if you put in the front end work then you can relax enjoying the trip following your plan loosely knowing the old adage “ God laughs while men plan” is true and roll with the punches when needed.
I took this on Sept 16th 2023 with my D850 and Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 G2 Lens at 52mm, 1/250s, f3.2 ISO 450 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia ,Topaz, and DXO
