NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 14 mm, 1/60 sec at f/5.6, ISO 64

The view at sunset (8:35PM) from our accomodation in Firostefani on the Greek island of Santorini

Santorini Nights

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S @ 14 mm, 2.50 sec at f/8, ISO 200 x 16 Frames

A wide 180˚+ panoramic view as day turns to night at the tail end of twilight (9:20PM). As the sunset glow fades on the horizon, the ring of Santorini’s villages lights up from all the places clustered along the cliff edge

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

Firostefani View

We picked up our hire car at the main ferry port near Fira and drove to our accomodation

We’re staying in Firostefani which is on Santorini’s crater rim. The main town of Fira (also on the crater rim) is to the left of us and to the right is the village of Imerovigli with Skaros rock just in front of it (it’s that silhouetted bit sticking up just to the right of the sun). Way to the right (out of view and almost 10km around the crater rim) is the town of Oia

Here’s a first look 180˚ view from the balcony of our place – having a crater and sunset view comes at a premium but the view was pretty special

Arriving by ferry from Paros to our next Greek island destination. This is the famous village of Oia on the island of Santorini

Naoussa

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 1/320 sec at f/5.6, ISO 64

Leaving the island of Paros this morning. We’d be driving back to the port town of Parikia to catch a ferry to our next Greek island soon. Just enough time for one more early morning walk around Naoussa before heading off

One thing I had to say about Greece and especially these Greek islands. There were just not enough churches!!. I jest of course. Even here in the heart of a tourist mecca like Naoussa within a 60 second walk from our accomodation there were easily half a dozen or more small churches in the back alleys. When driving around the island it almost seemed like there were as many churches as there were houses

It’s 7AM and I’m just back from my sunrise shoot. The streets are still empty in the seaside village of Naoussa and the shops have yet to open. A perfect time to have all of these fantastic little cobbled lanes around our accomodation to myself
