Isola Bella by meolog

In this photo I tried to catch the moment in which the warm sunrise light turns into the white daylight. I took 3 exposures and blended them by hand using gimp. via 500px http://ift.tt/1vRYMqu

Song Of The Sea by EliaLocardi

An phenomenal sunset in Vernazza, Cinque Terre Italy - one of the most beautiful travel destinations in the world... One of my favorite things about traveling is getting to experience, what I like to call, "the moment of discovery." It’s that special moment in time that can overwhelm the senses and generate palpable feelings of awe and wonder as a breathtaking scene unfolds before your eyes. In that singular moment, everything you’ve hoped to experience and see in a specific place is perfectly represented and frozen in front of you. The air, the sound, the colors, everything seems to coalesce into pure visual harmony. You’ll know you’ve reached it when the only word that comes to mind is wow… As a travel photographer, it's those moments of discovery that I’m constantly seeking. It’s also the reason that certain countries and regions, like Italy and Cinque Terre, capture my focus and attention again and again. For me, places like Vernazza represent a harmonious balance between humanity, nature, and the unpredictable aspects of a sometimes turbulent sea. There are few places in the world that can speak directly to my heart and to be honest, Italy houses many of them. http://ift.tt/Z3lOOe via 500px http://ift.tt/1ihAWyF
