more tomorrow

I have more pictures to work on, and I'll post them tomorrow.
I have much to learn about this HDR stuff, and I'm still a newbie/amateur with cameras. I'm in a good spot for taking practice pictures, no complaints about the scenery!
The backwards order of the blog is kinda strange, if I tell you what the plan is for next week, that only works ok until I post whatever that stuff is. Then it seems backwards, cuz you will see the photos, then later you arrive at where I talk about doing those pictures in the future. Hmmmmm.
gotta get some sleep
caio!

Removed the photo due to toxic content, sociopaths make me ill.

We don't know why this is blocked off, only taxis and police can drive on the road by Il Tettuccio.

Same shot(almost) as #29. I changed a setting, but I don't see a big difference. This one is lower ISO.

Wide angle, looking at Monsumano & Monsumano Alto from Montecatini Alto.

Big blue sky over Monsumano, and its Alto.

Alto's fashionable east end. The widest piece of road in the village. I've walked past here maybe 50 times, never seen anybody inside the gated property. I like the light of the sky, overhead and to the left. I should actually be over there to the left when I took these shots, I would have got pix of the red rubber ball sun setting. Still on the vertical part of the learning curve I guess!

Had to post this twice, so there may end up being a second of this showing up. It seemed to disappear into the ether. Anyway, just missed getting the red rubber ball on the horizon. I'll try to get that with this HDR thingy.

5 minutes sooner and I would have had the red rubber ball.
