Night Falls Nisyros

There was A wonderful anticipation to compliment the silence as I sat and watched this beautiful scene unfold.

BACKSTORY

Night Falls Nisyros

I spent a week watching the light change across the sea from Kos towards the island of Nisyros from dawn till dusk.

It was one of those mesmerising views you couldn’t get tired of watching.

Before the end of the week’s visit to Kos I had captured a few images of the island mainly at sunrise but I had already had something else in mind at nightfall.

On the last evening, I set up my camera ready to shoot Nisyros after the sun had set.

I had noticed the planes coming in to land took a flight path over the island towards Kos airport and knew they would leave a light trail which I decided to leave in the final image.

If you follow my work you will know I don’t like wide-angle lenses too much but prefer the more compressed look from medium focal lenses. This perspective suits the quieter moments I prefer to create.

I sat ready to capture the image once the light was at the perfect balance for what I call The Edge Of Darkness.

The sea was calm with a very slight refreshing breeze as the sun faded into the deep blue tones of the fast-approaching night sky.

There was a wonderful anticipation to compliment the silence as I sat and watched this beautiful scene unfold.

Incredibly I must have sat watching and shooting until you could hardly make out any separation between the sky and the mountains of the island.

A beautiful experience which I spent time creating when I returned home to produce the final image here.

What’s The Difference Between A Canvas And A Limited Edition Print?

The canvas prints are open edition — there is no limit on how many can be made.
The limited edition prints are on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper — a heavy cotton paper made to archival standards — with a strict edition cap (5, 10 or 15 depending on size).
When an edition sells out, it is closed for good. Some photographs are offered in both formats and some in one only. The difference is the material, the edition limit, and what that means for long-term ownership.
