Room with a View, a photo from Kyklades, South Aegean

Photographer's Note

Looking down the steep hillside to the ocean, in Oia. There are hotels, or rooms at least, along these winding steps down the hillside. Beautiful view, but very expensive rooms!

Hi Jennifer,
A gorgeous view!
Very good the light there and the contrasting colors got.
I think you made a pretty good wide composition here, with an interesting POV to get the better of the place.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Good viewpoint here Jennifer, it works well. Everything seems a bit tilted to the right, although it's a bit hard to tell without the horizon as a point of reference. I don't think it matters too much.
I find the over-exposure on the bright area of the wall a bit distracting, and it's always going to be tricky ro expose for such a wide range in brightness levels with a digital camera. Setting some exposure compensation would have improved things - you could have recovered shadow detail at the editing stage, but once the highlights are gone there's not much you can do.
You're right - it's quite a view!

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Jennifer

love the little stones in the steps.
must have been difficult to manage the light, as there are light and shaded areas.
different but excellent point of view!

Thanks alot
Craig
