NICE, FRANCE Photo

Photographer’s Note

The shipped dropped anchor at the bay of Villefranche Sur Mer early in the morning, for our visit to Nice and Eze. While walking the deck early in the morning I always have my camera with me and this is one of the good shots I captured.

This bay gives safe harbor to big ships because it is enclosed by land. Villefranche-sur-Mer is a small town and commune in the Alpes-Maritimes. Situated on the French Riviera, It is located about 6 km (4 miles) east of the city of Nice, separated by Mont Boron, Mont Alban and Mont Vinaigrier, and 10 km (6 miles) south west of Monaco.

Hi Andre,
Very good sunset photograph, colors are beautifull and the pov on the landscape very well balanced with the lighthouse on the left and the large place for the sea on the right.
Well done.

Very nice shot! The lighting on the lighthouse makes it almost the same colour as the sky in this shot, which is very unusual. Beautiful soft colours too, which is very attractive. Nice work!

hello Andre

The color of reflections on the water is what I like most and the lighthouse almost glowing. Incredible sharpness at shutter of 1/5 even with VR lens. The tone gradient makes this photo stand out. Great shot.
