Sunset over the Caldera, Santorini
Camera: Canon EOS 40D | Lens: EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM | Date: 01-10-2009 16:59 | ISO: 200 | Exp. bias: -1/3 EV | Exp. Time: 1/250s | Aperture: 8.0 | Focal Length: 38.0mm (~61.6mm) | Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM

Sorry there was no photoblog post last week, but I was busy processing my shots from the wedding of my good friend, Dave.

Here’s a third (and, I promise, final) “Caldera Sunset” shot from my Santorini trip. This one works, I think, because of the way the ripples on the sea and the clouds repeat similar shapes. Let me know what you think.

"Caldera Sunset Zen" Oia, Santorini
Camera: Canon EOS 40D | Lens: EF-S17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM | Date: 30-09-2009 16:12 | ISO: 200 | Exp. bias: 0 EV | Exp. Time: 1/125s | Aperture: 5.6 | Focal Length: 47.0mm (~76.2mm) | Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM

I’m making good progress on sorting out my photos from last year’s Santorini trip, with the intention of getting them finished before the anniversary… 🙂

I was going to publish a series of the Caldera sunsets in weekly instalments. I may still do that, but processing this wonderfully peaceful image made a slight departure from the plan irresistible.

I call it “Caldera Sunset Zen”. Let me know if you like it.

Sunset over the Caldera, Santorini
Camera: Canon EOS 40D | Lens: EF70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM | Date: 29-09-2009 16:46 | ISO: 200 | Exp. bias: 0 EV | Exp. Time: 1/400s | Aperture: 7.1 | Focal Length: 110.0mm (~178.4mm) | Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

I’m finally getting round to processing the shots from my Santorini trip – only about a year late! The sunsets over the Caldera really are quite amazing. Here’s one, and I’ll post a couple more over the next few weeks.

Also, if you’re interested, I’ve recently added more shots from Europe last year to my online album. Have a look and let me know what you think.

Hi, welcome to my new photo blog. Here’s a shot taken on my trip to Santorini last year, a “grab shot” of a rather nice yacht scudding along in one of the island’s trademark sunsets. The triangular shapes at the bottom are actually the edge of a nearby roof, out of focus.

Let me know what you think.
