We boarded the bus and left Noto for the drive to the Gli Aromi herb farm outside the town of Scicli for lunch. We passed through the picturesque Sicilian countryside on the A18 Autostrada and were greeted to views of the lush farmland, orchards, olive groves and vineyards.

All of these images were taken through the tour bus windows with a Nikon D7500 and a Nikkor 18-300 f3.6-5.6 lens set at f9, 1/640 sec and auto ISO. The ISO levels were usually 3200 to 5600 which accounts for some noise in the skies. I was willing to accept this in exchange for a wider DOF provided by the f9 setting. Post processing was done with Luminar Neo and occasional Topaz Denoise AI.

I hope you enjoy them!

Another excellent set from the master of shooting through the tour bus window. This set gives a nice perspective of the Sicilian countryside, something we didn't really see in our only port call in Sicily, in Messina.
