France Sisteron Rock
Sisteron Rock is a nice photo spot near Valensole (45min) with a river in front of a mountain that looks like a volcano.
The perfect spot for taking photos of this famous rock. Even though lots of tourists walk past, there’s still enough space for photographers who want to set up their tripods.

Photography Tips
The best timing is during sunrise or sunset. A long exposure can add car trails as a nice detail to your photo.
Arrive 20 minutes before sunset and frame your shot then do not move your camera. Bring tripod and wide angle lens.
The portrait format photo was taken using the timestack method. That means it consists of two photos: one taken at dusk to capture the light on the rock and the surroundings, and the other taken at night to capture the streaks of light from passing cars. There’s a gap of about four hours between the two photos.
