Spectral Sunlight

Notice how the clouds have partly obscured sun, instilling the scene with ethereal beauty? This is just one example of how clouds can create superb and interesting effects. In many ways clouds are perfect for landscape photography as they can provide drama and definition for the sky. They can work well both in colour and monochrome photography.

In this photo I decided to go with colour. The sky here is awash with sunlight and clouds and is that much richer for it. Darkness blends with light and in between are interesting murky colours.

This image was taken in Greece on a boat trip from the island of Aegina to the port of Piraeus.

Saronic Sunset

This photograph was taken in the Saronic Gulf of Greece between the island of Aegina and the busy port of Piraeus. For me this is one of my favourites. I had to move quickly though as the whole moment was over within a second due to the movement of the boat I was on.

The hidden sun adds an ethereal dimension to the image and the golden rays perfectly frame the cargo ship giving it a beautiful silhouette.
