A few days in Granville

I spent a few days in Granville and unfortunately the weather was overcast all the time. I have just managed to shoot a few pictures after the sunset and I have got a few hours of sunshine.

The picture on the left is the type of photograph that can be used easily for illustration. I was walking along the harbour and I saw this boat with the french flag moving in the wind. I quickly set my camera before the rest of the day light in the sky disappeared. I chose this angle so that the flag could be seen and it's clear this was taken in a harbour in France.

Moon rise

This photograph was taken this afternoon. I used software to calculate what time the moon would rise but unfortunately it had been foggy all day and I wasn't sure if it would lift. By the time this was taken the moon was clearly visible and this picture is the result.

Twilight

After a few days of winter weather I was finally able to take this dramatic sunset picture. This was taken using EOS1 DS mark2 with a zoom Canon 70-200 2.8L IS and a Canon extender 1.4.

f5.6 and 1/640 at 100 ISO.

Simple sunset

This picture was taken this afternoon about 10 kilometres from my home. The difficulty is that

it's very flat here and I needed something to add interest to the photograph. This pylon worked perfectly. I will submit this to my agency and hope they can use it for editorial work.

Opportunities

This afternoon while, I was working at home, I noticed the sun had appeared after a dull December day and took the opportunity to walk out to the fields near my home and take this beautiful sunset picture. To make the photograph better I gave it an element. I included the electricity pylon and this can hopefully be used for my stock agency for an editorial.
