Capri Island Photo

Photographer’s Note

Capri is an Italian island off the Sorrentine Peninsula. On the south side of the Gulf of Naples, it has been a celebrated beauty spot and resort since the time of the Roman Republic. With villas, the limestone masses that stand out of the sea (the Faraglioni), Anacapri, the Blue Grotto (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas. (Extracts from: Wikipedia).

I once saw a documentary of Capri while in Germany. A beautiful place which you did capture here with your ultra wide. Besides the steep clifs and multi-million dollar ships, I just can't get past this cloud formation over the main island..

Regards,
Brian

This shot really suits the panoramic crop, and the arrangement of these amazing rock outcrops works well, with a good balance across the frame. I'd maybe have tried to exclude the houses on the right though.
Those clouds add a lot to the interest of the shot, and I don't think it would have worked so well without them.
Good work Fara.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Fara,
This is a great composition, with the low horizon making the cliffs loom above you. Sharp and colourful, and the cloud in the background creates a great effect. The little yacht is well placed in the middle of the shot.
