...50 Euro...!!!

Strange title..but...

This is the most famous and photographed field in all the Val

d'Orcia, near San Quirico d'Orcia - Siena.

Well..the proprietor of this field, angry and tired by the many

photographer all the day, have put, near your field, a strange

machine, where, first to made any photo, you must put 50 Euro (but

also 50us$..is..OK..)..no credit card..for now..!!! If you dont put

this money, go out from the same machine a laser-beam that destroyed

your photocamera!!!! Recently was destroyed also twoo

Hasselblad...!!!!

True..or...wrong...???? To discover it..you can try to photographe

this field...hem..hem..

He must get very rich...!!! having such beautiful fields...

 

such lovely green waves...!

and love those clouds!!!

BRAVISSIMO, FRANCESCO!!!!!!!

He's ready... maybe the NYSE or the Pentagon will employ him ;)

Gran foto, gran historia!!

Flowers in bottom is to much, landscape is a bit depressed......But GREAT pic. :)

Non so... mi sembra di conoscere questo posto ... ahh ora ricordo: i cipressi dove c'蠬a macchinetta che va a 50 euro!!! Beh, quando ci sono stato io la macchinetta probabilmente non funzionava e mi sa che l'hanno riparata proprio il giorno che ci sei capitato tu! Complimenti per la composizione e per i colori, questo posto 蠭agico e non mi annoia mai.

ci sono passato l'altro ieri ma...il prezzo era aumentato a 100 euro!...il costo della vita...

il proprietario si sta organizzando per noleggiare treppiedi e vendere anche rullini!

ciao a tutti.

ottimo scatto comunque.

Ho sentito dire che piazzera' li' un camper attrezzato...!!!! he..he.....

chissa he traffico!

bisogna cambiare una legge per...

Do you know where I can buy such a machine...? Beautiful comp. and landscape, Francesco!!

ma volete che si sparga la voce??? Poi diventan tutte "riserve di foto"! Bella foto!

Nice shot ... well composed and great lighting to reveal the texture and form on the landscape..Well done

A realy strange story, but the picture is worth 50 euro I think

This is gorgeous!!congrats. for the story :-)

50 Euro o no, questa foto 蠤avvero bella, e soprattutto dato il soggetto 蠡nche originale. Ciao

I like the farmer's money-making idea! I think it might work better though if he charged something more reasonable. If he put $10 then maybe you would not want to risk his laser machine!

But Nikon D100 is laser proof, isn't it? LOL

The check is in the mail....LOL!

Great story to follow this landscape .... did you remember to pay? (-;

Nice pic again Francesco!!

I was sitting in this field in just late last year, and he came along in his tractor, and I thought that he was going to haul me off to the carribinieri, but he trundled straight past. I can't imagine why it has taken him this long!! I think people should definitely contribute, it would be a shame for him to retaliate and open up some more grazing area by chopping them down. If anyone has his details, I would like to make contact with him???

 

It goes without saying, great shot.
