, 1/1000 f/8.0, ISO 640, hand held. Val d'Orcia, Italy.

Ripresa aerea (elicottero). Distanza focale 95mm - - - "L'esistenza della Rocca di Radicofani è documentata fin dal 978, anche se le sue origini sono molto antecedenti e risalgono all'epoca Carolingia, quando venne acquistata da parte dei Monaci di Abbadia San Salvatore. La Rocca fu possedimento dei monaci fino al 1153 quando venne riscattata dallo Stato Pontificio. Per la sua posizione strategica sull'antica via Francigena (è sita su un colle alto 896 metri e raggiunge sulla terrazza merlata la ragguardevole quota di +960 mt s.l.m.) la Rocca di Radicofani venne usata da Papa Adriano IV per arginare l'avanzata (sia politica che militare) di Federico I il Barbarossa ... che governava la Toscana centro sud dall'alto del Castello di Montegrossi. La Rocca di Radicofani divenne importante anche per la giovane Repubblica di Siena da cui dista circa 70 km verso sud. Per quasi due secoli la Rocca di Radicofani fu gestita a due: Repubblica di Siena e Stato Pontificio con i due intermezzi di Ghino di Tacco. Passata poi sotto il Granducato di Toscana la Rocca fu subito ristrutturata a cura dell'architetto Baldassarre Lanci. I lavori durarono dal 1560 fino al 1567 e, se possibile, resero la Rocca ancora più inespugnabile trasformandola in una vera Fortezza. La Fortezza di Radicofani venne distrutta nel 1735 dal suo stesso comandante Piero da Piancastagnaio per vendicarsi della sua rimozione dall'incarico e, solo alla fine del 1900, vennero compiuti dei seri lavori di restauro."

Paola Hello, dear not only virtual friend ;-), first thanks for your appreciation and, please, if you stood up again in the future the opportunity to fly over the Val d'Orcia, do not miss! ;-) :-)

“ when you cut out the photos, follow measures established, and, if the answer is yes, how? „

The classic PP programs provide all of the formats that you can pre-apply to the image.
Do not I remember that program uses .... if you tell me I can be more precise nell'indicarti where are the dedicated tool.
Formats, as well as 16: 9, you can take the choice of the crop even operating independently from that suggested by the program .... but we must be careful to maintain correct proportions in particular to preserve then the success of the eventual printing. I say this from experience because I found myself print photos a year ago where the crop that had not adopted conformed to any print size.
I hope that I explained a little .....
Otherwise please ask !!! ;-)
Big hugs absolutely real even if you get the other side of a screen :-P

Michela, I explained very well, I learned a lot in the time you :-)
I use Lightroom, and now I will study formats. I never did print photos, after my encounter with digital and subsequently with the site. Now I'd like to try it, so your explanation is important for me. wow!
Thanks dear, and we hope to meet again, with a little 'more time available ... :-)
A big hug
Paola

PS: your teaching, will be one year ago: lowers exposure and increases the saturation and see how the colors jump out ... This is to tell you that I am grateful. ;-)

Paola're too good !!! : - |
I know that I share it willingly (here and elsewhere), and especially with those who understand that as I want to grow and improve.
I have already expressed my esteem and to confirm the remarkable progress you've made and the credit is all yours !!! ;-)
I also hope that we will meet again soon ... the time to be together was far too little.
For image formats read here, it is explained very well!

Congratulations Micki,
nice picture and very exhaustive caption that makes us "know" this Rocca! :-P
According to me, but I realize that this might be a "problem" My, it seems a little too high the level of "Sharpening"! ;-)
A dear greeting, :-)
