Exotic Croatia

Jewel of the Adriatic Sea

Exotic Croatia has been one of the most popular galleries on our website. Nevertheless, I decided that it was time to shake things up a bit. :-)

Serbian Catholic Church in Dubrovnik

Croatia is a wonderful travel destination featuring amazing sights - Roman ruins, seaside resorts, world-class art museums, and the most amazing walled city that I have ever seen (Dubrovnik). 

Roman Amphitheater at Pula

The Croatian people are open and engaging, their food is excellent, and the climate is very similar to that of Italy, their neighbor on the other side of the Adriatic Sea.

In recent weeks, I have fine-tuned every image in the collection for maximum sharpness and impact. I hope that you'll enjoy the updates.

The Last Moment Of Daylight

Photographing the Orange Glow of Sunset

Blue light dominates our atmosphere.  The short blue wavelengths bounce freely off of dust particles and gas molecules spreading blue light across the sky.

As evening (or sunrise) approaches, light from the sun has to travel a much longer distance through the atmosphere.  The easily bounced blue wavelengths fade and reveal the longer, slower wavelengths of yellow and red.

Bell Tower at Last Light, Dubrovnik

If the sky is clear and the setting sun is unobstructed by haze or clouds, the last moment of daylight can cast a strong orange glow on westward facing objects.

If you can catch this fleeting light before it fades, the glow will add a rich, saturated look to photographs.  But you'd better work quickly, because it won't last long!

Camera:

        Canon EOS 5D Mark II
