Far d’Artrutx

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.

A figure by a lighthouse

A quick post this evening as I’ve just got back from the cinema (where I saw TRON Ares, which I enjoyed a lot).

Here’s another digital shot from our recent trip to Menorca. This is the Far d’Artrutx lighthouse on the south-western tip of the island. The woman in the shot was there by happenstance, but I think her presence adds a lot to the picture.
