Tuscany photo workshop results

From May 8 - 14 I participated in a photo workshop in Tuscany led by Hans Kruse (See details here).
It was a very worthwhile experience. We had a great group of 11 photographers and Hans is an excellent workshop leader. He's a fine instructor on the technical side of things and regarding what and how to shoot he doesn't tell you what to do but he brings ideas and suggestions you have to put in practice yourself. On the one hand that's harder, but also more rewarding and avoids too much copy-cat behavior. Also what you learn that way is probably maintained and sustained a lot longer.
Choice of equipment was never an issue and only marginally discussed. It was all about capturing the light and the beautiful landscapes.
Here's some pictures to give you an impression
1: Sunset
A850 + Min 24-105 D
2: Misty sunrise
A850 + Min 80-200/2.8 HS G
3: Light rays over the hills
A6000 + E16-50 PZ
4: Evening light hitting the rolling hills
A850 + Min 80-200/2.8 HS G
5: Morning light on Villa Belvedere and the valley behind
A6000 + E16-50 PZ
6: Sunset near San Quirico d'Orcia
A6000 + OM Zuiko 85/2
7: Morning light kissing the rolling hills
A6000 + OM Zuiko 85/2

I love the misty look of #2, but I have to say that 6 & 7 are my favorites of the group.
