Sunset

802_9776 [Sunset]

 

I’ve heard people saying that the sunset as a photographic subject is over-photographed and therefore, perhaps less interesting. To tell you the truth, if you allow me to make a confession, I think I would feel unhappy if I experienced a sunset I like and happened not to have a camera with me.

Fortunately, I did have one with me this time and was able to capture the photo above while I was on the island of Aigina in 2017. As to whether sunsets are interesting or not seems to me a personal matter.

Sunset at OAKA

I had gone to this place with a specific photographic project in mind but I was faced with adverse conditions that rendered the project impossible to carry out. The long metal “tunnel”, designed by the architect S. Calatrava for the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, provided me with an alternative project: to experiment using the hyperfocal distance in an attempt to achieve maximum depth of field. Indeed, I focused at 122cm and, to my surprise, I found the outcome more than encouraging. Not bad for a beginning, I think.

[The sunset was only a 'by-product' here.]

Anglers

SCCN0180 [Anglers]

Strolling along the sea front in Thessaloniki late one afternoon, I came across this bunch of anglers who, in parallel with their fishing, they were each doing whatever their soul desired. I hope at some point in time they also noticed and enjoyed the beautiful sunset in the distance.

Next to the anglers there was an unattended fishing rod [not seen in the picture above] waiting for a fish to bite. I found its reel inviting, so I took the picture below.
