Photographer's Note
Today I am pleased to start a new travelogue and look forward to sharing some of my shots with you.
This is Union Island, one of the more populous islands visited during our sailing trip, and here we are in Clifton Harbour, a small but busy port with the important feature of having a bar with a TV – today is World Cup Final day and one of our crew members is French!
Rather than sit in a crowded bar for the afternoon, I took the chance to explore with my camera. The bay is protected by a reef so that the waters along the shore are wonderfully calm. The mid afternoon sun was fierce and I could not spend long out on the jetty from where I took this.
I did not make any adjustments to the saturation – the colours really were this intense.

Parfaits rθglages.

A lovely beachside scenery, Susanna, looks like you had a great vacation. Good use of the foreground stone wall to add depth to the composition, and fine green/turquoise hues and light reflections on the water.

Hi Susanna,
Very nicely composed shot of this Island. The polarizer has brought out the colours of the water and sky beautifully. The light is also very good and the detail is clear and sharp. Excellent PoV. Well done and thanks for sharing it. Best wishes, Vicky

Beautiful place, beautiful picture.
I thing the very strong diagonal going to the center of the horizon, gives the picture great depth.

Hi Susanna,
This low angle view really takes the viewer right to the scene, as one can almost touch the warm sparkling water. The walkway and bank are nicely angled here, with good DOF. The lighting and shadow effects enhance. A warm and successful introductory shot for this new travelogue series. Regards.

Hi Susanna - how lucky you, what a gorgeous little place, and the song chosen is a perfect match for this view. I suppose the stone dyke is put there to prevent beach erosion, but I think the beach would have been prettier without it.

Serwus Susanna !
So refreshing vista during the very hot period we got know. I would easily stand the heat in such paradise-like environment.
Beautiful light, stunning clarity, great depth due to the chosen settings and natural leading line in the frame.
Your gallery is impressive, superb handbook for such a rookie in dslr-photography as i am.
Thank You,
M.

Hi Susanna
This looks very paradisiacal with the palm trees and beach which rivals Corsican ones. Looks a great place to get your feet wet while taking photos. The proportions work really well here.
