Non ci resta che leggere is a periodic event promoted by the Massa Marittima, Southern Tuscany, public library to propose reading recommendations. There is a keynote presenter, and then anybody (who has made a proposal in advance) is allowed three minutes to present a book of his/her preference. pibinko.org will be proposing a book which I am systematically proposing to people since 2014.
Below a video edited by Federico Giussani with some of the shots he proposed in the exhibition “…and thence we came out, and saw again the stars” at the Toscana Foto Festival
The video was shown for the first time during the evening about mapp(ear)ing the upper half of the landscape on July 16, 2015.
At the end of the presentation, the two authors had the opportunity of taking some night shots and measurements of night sky quality, both in town (on the right a shot in the lawn in front of the Gaetano Badii library in Massa Marittima) as well as in the countryside (Agriturismo Tesorino, between Massa Marittima and Follonica) with a reading of 20.99 mag/arcsec^2 around midnight, and with the Milky Way well in sight.
The video proposes some of the images from the exhibition, with various types of postproduction.
The photo exhibition will be at the Chiostro di S. Agostino, in Massa Marittima, until August 9 2015.
