Into the Sun | Info + Comments (13)

These had been a very busy two weeks recently. Always before holidays start, my work schedule seems to explode. Combined with this, the weather was just great and I tried to take as much advantage as possible out of this. With sunset around 12 o'clock and sunrise around 3 o'clock there's not much time to sleep at the moment. And then work during the day again.... Talking about sleepwalking.....

On this nice summer evening photographer friend Kai Tirkkonen took me to one his favorite places at the coast. We had a nice fire and at sunset there was a chance to take some nice pictures. This is a beautiful place, and I have the feeling to return here more frequently as it also is a nice location to some panoramas in the forests.

Instead of posting another panoramic image, I chose a single frame for the change. I have been recently experimenting a lot with panoramic images and start to get better results, so there will come a few still.

I hope you like it and thanks for visiting.

PS: The black thingy under the sun in the water, was a huge block of ice. Was very surprised to see that there's still some left. Also on the right side of this bay, there was still some ice blocks on the beach. Amazing that they don't melt away so fast.

PPS: Don't expect too many updates on my blog in the near future. Finally it's becoming summer and I'll be out as much as possible to take pictures. Being inside and writing I can do in winter time ;-)

Thanks a lot everybody. I'm happy to hear that you like this image.
@Thatch: Good luck with your trip. I recently got Joe Cornish's book on the Northumberland Coast. Looks like another very beautiful area. I hope I can see it myself one day. Looking forward to see your images from there.

A very simple composition which allows the viewer to appreciate the vastness of the scene. I like it a lot.

Auch hier eine hervorragende Weitwinkelaufnahme mit Langzeitbelichtung. Tolle Schärfe, die Lichtreflexe sind klasse.

I love this photo. From the slightly star shaped sun, to its line drawing you in and out of the photo to its reflection on the rock in the foreground. Very beautiful. Nice one.
