Tuscan skies

[Antu]

"La cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta" - one of the most recognizable symbols of Tuscany in Italy. There are tens of thousands images of this famous chapel which have been already taken by the present time, but there are very few night shots among them. No wonder, substantial light pollution from near by Pienza makes such work quite difficult. Nevertheless, last August I managed to get a night panoramic shot of the chapel during my stay in Tuscany. I hope you'll like the image :)

That's a sensational image! One of the best nightscapes I have seen.

What camera/lens/exposure settings did you use?

Thanks guys ! This is a panoramic shot taken with Canon 6D and Nikkor 14-24 F/2.8 lens. The single exposure time was ~40 sec, but in principle it should have been even less - the amount of light pollution is very high, unfortunately.
