Far d’Artrutx

fishyfisharcade1 Comment

All taken the same evening as yesterday’s picture, these four shots show the Far d’Artutx lighthouse at the south-western point of Menorca.

The light was dropping and I was shooting 100asa film (which I’d rated at 80asa) so I had to use a slower shutter-speed to get a wide enough aperture for the camera to allow me to get the pictures. Some of them are slightly soft as a result, although not to the extent that they are ruined or anything.

The last one of the four, and my favourite, is pretty sharp though. It looks almost like a moonlit scene, although the effect is a result of the sun lighting up some high cumulus through a gap in the lower clouds.

A scimitar reflection

One evening on our holiday we walked to the nearby lighthouse (pictures coming tomorrow!). It had rained heavily earlier and the sky was still full of impressive clouds. On the edge of this road lay a large scimitar, or crescent shaped puddle, and I grabbed a quick photo of this couple reflected in its surface.

Cala n Bosch

Last year my wife and I spent a week in Menorca at the resort of Cala n Bosch, right on the south-western tip of the island and I shot a couple of rolls of film (my, still reliable, expired Superia 100) during the holiday.

This first set were taken on the first day or two as we wandered around the place – while the biggest “resort” on the island (not counting the two main cities, and other inland towns) – Cala n Bosch is still a relatively small place and easy to wander around (it’s actually two areas, if you count the adjoining Cap d’Artrutx). There’s a marina area with a bunch of restaurants, bars, and shops, but the rest of the resort consists of hotels, apartment complexes, and villas. Oh, and a lighthouse.

There will be more pictures to come, both from the resort, and also shots I took when exploring other parts of Menorca.

Outside a supermarket at blue hour

I spent the last week in Menorca with my wife (I pre-scheduled the posts with the half-frame pictures that have been popping up over the past seven days – I have a bunch more of those and mean, at some point, to post my thoughts on the camera I used to take them).

While we were away, I shot a couple of rolls of film and also took a bunch of pictures with my little Ricoh compact digital camera too, which I’m starting to post-process. Here’s one of them…
