Berat at Night, a photo from Berat, South

Photographer's Note

It is a remarkable Albanian town, with a wealth of beautiful buildings of high architectural and historical interest. The pine forests above the city, on the slopes of the towering Tomorr mountains, provide a backdrop of appropriate grandeur. The Osumi river has cut a 915-metre deep gorge through the limestone rock on the west side of the valley to form a precipitous natural fortress, around which the town was built on several river terraces.

A tripod wasn't really used here - just balanced it on a fence, but it has served the purpose for a long exposure.

Bonsoir Dan,
C'est une superbe photo de nuit. L'image est très nette, et la lumière est parfaite. Quel bel endoit, s'est magnifique.

Hi Dan,

What a wonderful photo. I tried to do the same when when I went to Berat over a year ago but I arrived too late and there were hardly many lights on. Your long exposure has clearly paid off.

The best time to take a night photo of Berat is during certain communal events, sometimes they get organised and turn all the lights on at the same time. It is a very pretty picture and one realises why Berat is called the city of a thousand windows!

Thanks for sharing.
