Into the sun by ManuelMartin1972

I don’t do it too often to shoot right into the sun! But this morning the light was so adorable and the reflections of light in the water simply amazing. I rarely see such a light and such a sun by the sea. So why not shooting directly into the sun? Of course I hoped that the images will look more or less good, because where I live I have no sea and therefore to repeat this try would mean to travel and to spend a lot of money he he he 😉 But the best was to have the entire beach for me alone without a single soul at this time in the morning in sight. Simply magic this feeling 🙂

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Morning mood at the sea by ManuelMartin1972

This picture was taken on a beautiful and sunny morning on the island of Elba. I got up very early in the morning to reach this area on the cliffs before sunrise. For my taste still too few clouds, but this is what I had every day. But nevertheless it was a wonderful atmosphere and to be alone at the beach was a great feeling before the army of tourists throng to the beach.

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Thunderstorm over Elba by ManuelMartin1972

What can I say? Despite the excellent weather without clouds (for most of the time) we had during 2 days the chance to see a huge thunderstorm over the island! Ha ha ha … how cool it was for me to make some shots 😉 It was evening and very hot and I was sitting in front of our tent … and I could observe how all the people were collecting everything lying around in a nervous manner. I looked to the distance and saw how a storm front was approaching the island. YEEESSS! I took my backpack with my photography equipment and made my way to the beach. It was really funny to see how everyone on the beach was leaving very quickly the area … except of me he he he 🙂 And everyone I met on my way was saying to me to leave the place and that I was on the wrong way! To give always the same answer was a bit annoying … so I began to change my answers: „Yes, I know … but I want to make some shots and therefore …“, „Yes, thank you so much, but you know … it’s … bla bla bla …“, „Thank you, very kind of you, for sure I will go away from here, just one photo and then …“, „Oh boy, I already know about the storm, but thank you“, „My god, you too … OK, I got it!“, „ Yes, thank you, but I forgot something!“, „Really? Thank you … smile!“, „Dangerous? Not for me!“, „A storm? Unbelievable, isn’t it he he he!“, „I’m a meteorologist! This is my job!“, „Don’t worry, I’m living on the beach!“, „Ha! No panic! I’m strong like a lion!“, „I want to say good night to my wife, she’s a mermaid!“, „Look behind you, there is a sand troll.“, „It’s because I want to die.“, „No worry, I’m the weather god!“ … my god, it was like in a circus, but very funny he he he 🙂 And finally on the rocks of the beach I could make this photo before the thunderstorm reached the area!

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Stones and sand in Elba by ManuelMartin1972

I was camping for two weeks with the family on the island Elba in Italy. It was not the first time I saw this beautiful island, and I must say I love this former exile of Napoleon. But I think that the summer is not exactly the best time for photography there … rarely I have seen so few clouds during two weeks! But hey, it was a lot of fun for the kids playing all the day in the water … well, and for me too he he he. When I did this photo that evening, my children were playing with the sand on the beach, while I was desperately searching some clouds. And when I found some, I was looking for a good foreground. My kids had formed with a few stones a sort of tower and it was clear that I used it for this photo. I heard only such choruses of lamentations but the tower was mine for a few minutes ha ha ha! Well, what happened then to the tower? The lifetime of this building was short! Right after my photo it was destroyed by the hand of my children. The stones were then used as markers for beach tennis goals. Warm weather, beach, sand, sea, playing tennis with my kids in the dark … oh boy, it was really a lot of fun 🙂
