La Guaita - IR Photo

Photographer’s Note

San Marino is an enclave in Italy, on the border between the regions of Emilia Romagna and Marche. Its topography is dominated by the Apennines mountain range, and it has a rugged terrain. The highest point in the country, Monte Titano, is situated at 749 metres (2,457 ft) above sea level. The three towers of San Marino are a well-known group of towers located in the small European country of San Marino. Located on the three peaks of Monte Titano in the capital, also called San Marino, they are depicted on both the national flag and coat of arms.
Known as the Guaita, it is the oldest of the three towers and most famous. It also breifly was a prison. It was construted in the 11th century.

Any suggestion on how to use properly the IR filter would be much apreciated! :D
I didn't have my tripod with me, so I settled the camera, stopped breathing for a while and... click!

Hi Sabrina
Great photo, it looks almost like a painting. It’s a bit out of focus, but I guess it help the composition to look like a painting.
Btw, useful note.

Ciao Sabrina.
Foto morbida e un pò surreale, sembra tratta da un libro di fiabe.
Bellissima

POV magnifique! Le choix du N&B est très judicieux: l'intérêt du spectateur est centré sur le sujet principal puis, sur le reste de l'image. J'aurais toutefois insisté sur la netteté du premier plan: je me suis permis un petit workshop pour en tenter l'expérience.

Bravo pour cette splendide photo,

Yves

Foto bella ed emblematica, da non frettoloso commento o uscita ermetica.
In questo caso mi axccontento di commentate i particolari delle case a valle e lo scorcio graduale delòla zone che va verso la pioanura.
