Thunder & lightning over kefalonia

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Friday, 7th, Oct, 2011

Had a nice relaxing cruise around the island of Zakynthos (Zante) today some nice pictures but not ready yet on the very tail end of the cruise a heavy thunder storm passed over head and was still circulating among the Ionian islands after dark so I went down to the beach and had my first ever attempt at photographing lightning. Due to the distance away it was hidden behind clouds in the distance, however a 3/4 moon nicely lit up the foreground making for quite a nice picture ….not my best ever by any means but good enough …..

Zakynthos island shipwreck – Sunset

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Thursday, 6th, Oct, 2011

Today after turtle viewing and cave diving, I got back earlier than expected so decided to take the very long drive to the north of the island, on the east side between Volimes and Anafonitria, some 5 miles of the main road down some treacherous roads with steep cliffs. You end up at the viewing point for the shipwreck, nicely confronted in the car park by some locals selling some very good home-grown produce ( nougat, sesame seed and honey snacks honeyed strawberries among other stuff ). A short walk down to the cliff edge and you are confronted by a 750ft vertical drop with the Wreck only visible if you step onto the viewing deck that quite clearly states maximum 2 persons at any one time ( how reassuring ) so I had to grow a pair and confront my fear. After capturing an image that I was more than happy with the local guy came over and suggested a. Short walk over the cliff edge to non standard view-point with no safety rail, the walk was ok, the view was perfect but I had to get close to the edge this time without a shoulder high safety rail I did it and I’m glad I did.

Looking north to a sunset at kefalonia

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Wednesday, 5th, Oct, 2011

Tonight’s sunset wasn’t planned but I had this location in mind for another photo but on my way past, to another location I couldn’t resist.

Shot from the very sharp bend at Akrotiri, the pier like structure extends way out into the sear pointing north towards Kefalonia (Cephalonia) in the distance some 60+ miles away you can see the towering Ainos mountain range which covers the southern part of the island almost 10km long, shadowing the sunny and sandy resort of skala ( been there too). The mountains highest peak is called Mt Soros @ 1628m.

Winter Sunset at Selsey

By Wayne Humphrey | Published Sunday, 5th, Dec, 2010

Finally got my new filter and had chance to use it today went for a very long walk along the medmery beach at Selsey.
the filter adds 10 stops to the exposure so you can do very long exposures where otherwise the exposure is quick and freezes motion, this is especially good when water is involved, having said that …….
Its going to take a bit of getting used to as you can’t see through it and have to manually calculate how long to keep the shutter open for so here is the first big stopper picture and im hoping they only get better…….
