*misty bay*, a photo from Sassari, Sardegna

Photographer's Note

It was very cloudy night, but I get up early around 05.45 and go to meet new adventure. Taken cloudy morning before sun go up near city Palau. Here you can see second post .

The island contains numerous extraordinary tourist areas, including the Costa Smeralda and Gennargentu. The island is particularly famous for its beaches, but is also rich in other interesting places, such as some charming sea towns and archeological ruins.

"Kingdom of Sardinia
In 1718 Sardinia became an 'independent' [vassal] kingdom under the House of Savoy, rulers of Piedmont.
In 1792, Jean-Paul Marat, son of a Sardinian father from Cagliari and a Swiss mother, was one of the triumvirate leading the French Revolution. In 1793, Sardinians rebelled, demanding autonomy in exchange for helping to defeat French invasion forces. Autonomy was granted in the combined kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, but after the French threat to the kingdom lessened, the king took back his authority.
In 1860, Vittorio Emanuele II, King of Sardinia became also the first King of Italy after conquering the rest of the peninsula." (Wikipedia)

Hope you like it. Comments and critques are appreciated.

Beautiful sunsrise Denis. The colours and perspective of this picture are very impressive. Very nice to see a lighthouse in the upper part of the frame. Very nice job :-)

Nice shot Denis;

I have to admit, I've ventured out a few mornings before sunrise to get some shots. It's a ncie and peaceful time to venture out. Coffee in one hand, and the camera in the other.
Nice and sharp shot, the wide angle of field is complimentary to the shot.

Nice shot Denis, I like it...

Hi Denis. Excellent seascape, caught at the best time of the day. That lighthouse stands like a sentinel at the end of the peninsular. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

I stayed at the campsite right there where this picture was taken last year and I remember the sunrises and how deep the morning lights would be and you captured that really well. Thanks for the memories.

Hi, Denis. A very good foreground gives depth to your picture and opens the perspective. The lighthouse is very well placed in the composition and the sky with the grey / red contrast is really beautiful.

djanloo (422) 2006-09-18 17:28

Great pic, Danzi.
Colours are evocative.
I was there and it's a very cool place...

Just to know did you make an HDR process on different expositions ? If yes how many shots did you use ?

Thanks
Gianluca

Having been there lot of times myself and having shot lot of pictures of this lighthouse I must really compliment with you for the excellent result you have obtained here. A very well chosen POV, a charming hour and atmosphere and a very well built composition. I've never seen such a colourful sunrise in Palau!

My best compliments,
