Photographer's Note
ENGLISH: I might live in Sydney, but my soul lives here in Sorrento on the Bay of Naples. The photo was taken just before dawn where the only people around were a garbage collector and a lady who gave me a hot almond croissant and capuccino to take with me for breakfast. What a breakfast view eh?
Things that should be taken with you on a shoot like this: insect repellent, a torch, good walking shoes, camera, tripod, filters, shutter release and an MP3 player with Return To Sorrento playing loudly.
"...It goes straight to your heart
And you say: "I am leaving, goodbye"
you go away from my heart
away from this land of love.
And you have the heart not to come back.
But do not go away,
do not give me this pain.
Come back to Surriento,
let me live!
ITALIANO: Come lo sapete, io abito a Sydney, ma la mia anima vive qui a Sorrento sulla Baia di Napoli. La foto č stata scattata poco prima dell'alba in cui le sole persone in giro sono stati un lavoratore del rifiuso ed una signora che mi ha dato un caldo cornetto di mandorle e un cappuccino da portare con me per la colazione. Che vista per la colazione eh?
Cose che dovrebbero essere prese con voi in un fotoshoot come questo: repellente insetti, una torcia, buone scarpe da passeggio, fotocamera, cavalletto, filtri, scatto e un lettore MP3 con Turna A Surriento ad alta voce.
NAPOLETANO:
Te vulessero vasŕ
E tu dice: "I’ parto, addio!"
T’alluntane da stu core…
Da la terra de l’ammore…
Tiene 'o core 'e nun turnŕ?
Ma nun me lassŕ,
Nun darme stu turmiento!
Torna a Surriento,
famme campŕ!

Hello Lisa,
this is a very beautiful picture in every respect: composition, light management, choice of POV. The sky adds an element of dynamism to this "blue-and-yellow" scene :)

Hello Lisa,
A beautiful early morning scene excellently composed to take advantage of the lighting, both natural and man made. Exposure is spot on and there are some lovely blue tones to be observed in the last of the night sky. Can't beat a good tune sung by Pavarotti:-) Have a good week.

Ciao Lisa,
questa č una foto che merita un posto tra le mie favorite.
E' un'immagine che delizia gli occhi e che fa sognare.
Eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista, tecnici e compositivi.
I toni blu sono bellissimi e il cielo si presenta pulito senza la minima traccia di rumore.
Bellissima anche l'acqua del mare che sembra come una tavola dove poter camminare, magari per andare incontro a quel sogno.
Userň questa foto come sfondo per il mio cellulare.
Spero questa cosa ti farŕ piacere.
Bravissima! TFS!

You are really a master of the long exposure and this image is another proof of your excellent skills! It is the contrasts and the calm atmosphere that makes the image very attractive. My compliments!
Warm regards

Hi Lisa,
OK, the foreground is pretty cool, but it is the sjżky that wins me over here - this is the sky to beat all skies (although I am shocked and stunned that your camera was actually attached to a tripod for the long exposure this time, and not jammed between a couple of rocks which seems to be your forté. And the note cannot but bring a smile to one's face. Thank you, great stuff, Iain

Ah, č uno stupore. Quant'č bella!
Postala anche di lŕ sai questo notturno spettacolare. Ottima nitidezza, bello il contrasto giallo-blu.
A me fa venire in mente questa canzone:
"Qui dove il mare luccica
e tira forte il vento
su una vecchia terrazza davanti al golfo di Sorrento
un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
dopo che aveva pianto
poi si schiarisce la voce e ricomincia il canto
Te voglio bene assai
ma tanto tanto bene sai
e' una catena ormai
che scioglie il sangue dint' e' vene sai" Caruso di Lucio Dalla
Dopo la breve intro incomincia il canto: Caruso Buon ascolto. Mari

My dear Lisa,
this is one of may favourite song of Luciano Pavarotti!!
I adore his voice still.
This is again a great blue hour picture. What I like most is the flight of the clouds. There is much clarity and depth within your picture. Great! TFS
Have a nice week

Can't help yourself can you Lisa - any excuse for a (great) slow evening photo over water! Haven't been to Sorrento - one day! Great use of the odd patch of light.

Ciao Lisa,
wow, this is an impressive blue hour capture. The place is spectacular itself and the blue hour touch enhances the impression very much.
I like the variety of yachts aligned at the harbour. Also there is a nice coastline visible far in the distance. Very nice.
The sky is fantastic too with the clouds moving so fast.
Excellent capture,
M

Hi Lisa
I missed this beauty!
Peter will be pleased to see that you're horizon line looks good!
love the effect of the moving clouds over the 30 seconds...looks fantastic.
you mentioned you use a shutter release cable..i've never done that..i just use the timer on the camera - am i out of date, should i be using the cable release? what advantages does it have over the delay timer?
also love the perspective line of the pier to the left.
and the same angle of boats in the marina to the right.
splendid light management, as the pot lights are illuminated very well.
awesome place to visit..i'll try to get the same shot if i ever make it here!
Cheers

The most impressive picture I'd seen from Sorento, you were courage as an early riser to take this shot, Cheers.
All details are clear and superb sharpness prevails.
The lighting just perfect and you managed to avoid bulbsglare.
Have a nice week ahead,
