This church clinging to a hillside had caught my attention so I went back at dawn. The mist was a nice surprise.

Tuscany is a stunning photography location for lots of reasons. There is a timeless look to the landscape and buildings that is very pleasing. We were lucky to have hot weather interspersed with heavy rain which gave rise to a very atmospheric dawn.

Technical: Canon 5D MK2, 70mm, ISO 100, Filters were not suitable for a single image as the backlight was too strong on the church so had to be a 3 exposure HDR (Photomatix). RAW file processed in LR3 with tonal adjustments and slight sharpening made using Niksoft tools.

Location: Near Greve, Tuscany (Toscana).
