Milos Streaks

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 24 mm, 20 sec at f/6.3, ISO 64 x 7 Frames

I’d already mentioned that the view from our accomodation on the cliffside of Plaka on Milos was pretty epic. Sunset takes it to another level

Here’s a 180˚ stitched panorama (taken with my “real” camera on a tripod :)) taken from our outdoor viewing area looking out over Milos bay and the southern half of Milos at 8:45PM. Doesn’t get much better than this I reckon

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.

Plaka

NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 59 mm, 1/60 sec at f/5.6, ISO 360

There were quite a few good cafes and restaurants right near where we were staying in Plaka so good food was always at hand :). Like most places here in Greece the tables sprawled out into the laneways and on a pleasant warm evening dinner in the outdoors is great

Some interesting top down views of the tiny colourful fishing village of Mandrakia on the Greek island of Milos

Those colourful curved steps and the coloured fishing huts dug into the rock under the cliffs at the waters edge set against the vibrant greeny waters of the ocean are a standout of this location

Mandrakia

We visited another sleepy little coastal fishing village called Mandrakia. Again it’s about a 10 minute drive from Plaka on Milos

I was particularly keen to (photographically) visit this village because it has this nice little circular cove with these coloured fishing huts dug into the cliff along with their brightly painted stairs

I had a few specific drone shots I had pre-planned and wanted to take here. The weather was looking a little threatening so as soon as I arrived I put the drone up and started shooting before the rain arrived

Here’s two 180 panoramas taken at relatively quite low levels to set the scene
