¤¤ Fiskardo ¤¤ Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi folks,

A while ago I did a post, also a while ago it was
a Greek one, and even longer ago that I prepared this photo for uploading.

Large photo with full details available !!
Also map info available.

[Photo scene info]
Well, it's Fiskardo and I've posted info on this little harbour before. This city is the only city where buildings we're not ruined during the earthquakes of 1953. There are houses dating from the 18th century. Fiskardo's houses are the oldest on the island! On the rest of Kefalonia houses needed to be rebuild after the earthquakes, so you won't find these pastel colours often in other towns on Kefalonia. There are even more extreme pastel coloured houses, which you can see here (but it's not such a nice photo)
The population nowadays : ~150 (except for high season)

Hello Emiel
Wonderful summer view!! It is so pleasant to see it on a dull winter day.
Perfectly done, very well composed, sharp and saturated.

Hi Emiel,
great POV, really nice colors. I think you could have uploaded a larger photo, couldn't you? Love the row of boats in front of the houses. TFS & Good luck with the exams!
Cheers,
Catalin

Hi Emiel!

Great panoramic shot of one of the most beautiful villages of Kefalonia. Great composition and beautiful colours! The horizon is "tilting" slightly, but that's a meaningless detail. Congratulations!

PS. Something that I forgot to mention earlier. Thanks for the research about the rainbow.

Another fine panorama from you Emiel.

Fiskardo is a great (and the only) traditional Kefalonian village and a very fine place to take memorable photos.

Hi Emiel,

Another of your superbly done panoramic shots.

I really am struck by the angle of the sunlight .. just wonderful.
That combined with the sharpness and crisp detail really heighten the natural sense of summer and warmth in the image for me.

beautiful place .. I can almost warm my hands to it.

take care,

John

Hello Emiel,
Lovely details are captured in this fine costal town!
Panoramic format works well with good details in architecture and the marina...
Pleasant clarity in colours, and light comes in a good angle and adds life to the scenery!

Hey Emiel,

I missed this one...a continuity of the panoramic view of Fiskardo. Well executed, the left horizon ends beautifully with the edge of a cliff. Image quality is equally seen as the recent post, exceptional work!

Best Regards,

Jom
