Location
This photo reminds me of my best vacation ever. We were on the beach at Poros, Kefalonia, an island in the Ionian Sea off the coast of Greece.Time
I remember walking with my sister and wife during early midday, seeing this sailboat off in the distance with an outer island as backdrop.Lighting
It was a hazy day, and shifting focus from the sailboat to the mountain itself helped to better define the background.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS, handheld.Inspiration
The juxtaposition of a sailboat with a mountain in the background, rather than a flat horizon, struck me as unusual.Editing
This photo was minimally post processed, mainly for brightness. I used Windows10's photo processing tools.In my camera bag
I always try to travel light. I carry my Canon Powershot SX60 HS, two extra batteries, and my camera manual.Feedback
Greece has fabulous islands and beaches surrounding it on the west, south, and east aspects of its mainland. There is so much so see and photograph, whether looking landward or seaward!
