Location
Near a little town called Siliqua, in Sardinia. It's the Acquafredda Castle. In the valley of Cixerri, Sardinia(Italy) suddenly appears the inaccesible rock of the Acquafredda medieval fortess, built in the 13th Century by the count Ugolino Della Gherardesca, quoted in the 'Divina Commedia' of Dante Alighieri.Time
13 July 2013 at midnight.Lighting
I needed the darkest possible, but the light pollutions of towns but the lights of the city near disturbed, only in the foreground I udes a bit my headlamp to lighten the field.Equipment
Canon 500D and samyang 14 2.8, exposure: 30" f2.8 iso 3200, tripod and panoramic head.Inspiration
I was fascinated by the location of this castle so I had to make a composition in this nocturnal landscape. I spent a few hours taking the scenic and occasionally appeared the clouds moving in the sky, the moment I thought it was a noise, and I was annoyed by this, I wanted a clean sky, but then once you have created an overview with all the shots, clouds created a second arc almost like the smoke that comes from the mouth of a volcano and all this enriched composition rather than being a nuisance.Editing
I used panoramic software to stitch 16 shots, vertical shots. And all the post production in lightroom.In my camera bag

Find dark places and and make a lot of shots, and if the first time in that place is not good do not give up, back until you find the right conditions, the ones you wanted.
