Photo Tip: Be Ready – San Gimignano– On-location in Italy

Enlighten Tour- Caryn Esplin – Europe in 40 days – People, Culture, Landscapes of Europe- Photo Tips

SAN GIMIGNANO – TUSCANY, ITALY… Photo tip for photographing people, culture and landscapes of Europe. This is Day 13 of my 40-day Enlighten photography tour through Europe. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment to turn around a bend in search of the perfect sunrise capture and find this scene. I could not believe my eyes when I saw this bright orange hot air balloon launching from a Tuscan field right below the medieval walled city of Sam Gimignano. So I scrambled out of the car to set up my tripod while it was still in the scene. One of my objectives for this Enlighten project is to capture images that combine People Culture and Landscape. This is what I call “humanizing the landscape” and I love combining the old and the new.. which seems to be what Italy is all about.
