Remembering the Oath, we shall never ever forget, that at the beginning and end of every day there's a gift called conscience, and a ritual called "witnessing the light", showing us the cadence of life, impermanence, and beauty.

Location: Albandeira beach, Algarve (Portugal)

Technical info:

First published image made with the amazing ultra-wide angle lens Laowa 12mm. I've tested it during the second weekend of January, and chose specific spots where a ultra wide angle would make a difference. The Albandeira beach is an unique place in Algarve, showing a gorgeously sculpted rock formation, located in a circular bay, which is usually very difficult to encompass with just one single exposure. Using such a wide lens allowed for much greater freedom while composing, and the feeling of viewing and capturing a scene in a similar fashion as if it was captured through the wide vision of our own eyes is extremely rewarding.
