The Epic Abbey of Saint Galgano in the province of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy
One of the most beautiful places where I've been ...
history, flavors, art ... magic ...
The Abbey of Saint Galgano was a Cistercian Monastery found in the valley of the river Merse between the towns of Chiusdino and Monticiano, in the province of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy. Presently, the roofless walls of the Gothic style 13th-century Abbey church still stand.
The lack of the roof - which highlights the articulation of the architectural structure - unites in this the abbey with those of Melrose, Kelso and Jedburg in Scotland, of Tintern in Wales, of Cashel in Ireland, of Eldena in Germany, of Beauport in Paimpol (Brittany) and the Convento do Carmo in Lisbon.
Of San Galgano, owner of the place that is celebrated on December 3, we know that he died in 1181 and that, after a disordered youth, he retired to a hermitic life to give himself to penance, with the same intensity with which he had first given to debauchery.
The climax of the conversion took place on Christmas day 1180, when Galgano, on the hill of Montesiepi, stuck his sword into the ground, in order to turn it into a cross ... in fact, in the Rotonda there is a boulder whose fissures sprout a hilt and a segment of a sword corroded by years and rust, now protected by a casket
in short.... this place so magical and full of history was the a stop during my last trip
I was going with a motorcycle so the baggage was reduced at minimum ...
that's why I decided to bring only a few things ...
NEVER WITHOUT my DJI ...
This picture show a part of my baggage
I added it because I think it is useful to know that this drone, with three batteries and the charging station can perform several flights ...
in a small space it is possible to take this wonderful dji equipments with you ...
obviously, a dji mavic Air would have been even better ...
but at the moment, I must be happy with what I have ... it's small but it's not a little ...
Another very useful thing are the adapters, to read the drone memory sticks
because being on the road I did not have my pc with me ...
so, by the adapters, I could easily review my movies and free the memory of the card, transferring the videos on the phone ... excellent
I always flew at sight ... (remains within ours line of sight)
took off and landed several times, maximum safety ...
to avoid privacy problems ... I waited for the hours when there were few people..
was an excellent choice for light and shadows too
sunrise and sunset are the best times to fly
excellent light and few people
I also add a pdf file, which I added on a previous post ...
you can download it by right clicking
there are other tips, which I believe useful and my check list
and then
the only tips is to try to make slow movements ...
when making an Panoramic
better to make this movement slowly ORBIT PAN than this .. PAN.
this will make your ORBIT PAN smoother
ORBIT PAN ( orbit drone, back drone to point of interest , front drone PAN scene ). better than PAN ( only turn right or left ).
Flying with propeller protection is a big plus for me
I can get close to the objects ... always keeping the natural calm ...
charge the battery, only when needed, when needed or shortly before ... optimizes and increases battery life.
wait for the best hours, like sunrise and sunset
ask for the necessary permits, or ask to managers or persons, when or if it is possible to film the scenes ...
usually, respecting people and places, get works better ...
usually others are excited to participate, after asking permission
so ... always ask first
plan all flights, optimize your work
sometimes break the lines ... follow your instinct ... staying in safety
