Long telephotos are not only for shooting birds or small animals from a safe distance. Just dug up some photos shot with the Canon EF 100-400L f:4.5-5.6 IS USM some time ago.

Myrtos Beach* in Cephalonia has been voted one of the most spectacular beaches in the whole world not without reason. Depending on the weather, the winds and the cloud formation the water colors and the scenery change dramatically.

On Assignment at the Olive Groves


Early November is the Olive harvesting season. So I was invited by a good friend to visit their family Olive Groves near Ermioni, in Peloponnese Greece, in order to document this year's olive harvest and take some photos for their new website.

A Cloudy mood...

Heavily overcast sunset above dark urban landscape

Many times a sky covered with gray clouds becomes depressing. However, there is a time when the red rays of the setting sun give a colorful break to this mood on top of the dark urban landscape, just before the night darkens out everything.

Trying out a small Canon Powershot D10 (Waterproof) camera gave out some decent keepers as this seaside sunset.
