First Light St Pauls Bay

” Deserted except for some funny chap wandering around taking pictures and of course those Greek cats that always seem to appear to escort me!”.

BACKSTORY

“First Light St Pauls Bay“

I had just completed a shoot of St Pauls Chapel at the bottom of Lindos bay and made a hasty walk to the top of the cliff. The reason for my urgency was I wanted to capture this wide vista of the whole bay before the sun rose and with the street lights still illuminating the pathway down to the waterside chapel.

Unknown to me I had much more time than I had expected and spent a good 30-40 minutes shooting a few variations as the light of dawn increased in intensity. I love the colour contrast between the cool hues of night, the artificial warmth of the street lighting and the red tones of the approaching morning sun.

It was a wonderful morning very quiet and peaceful broken only by the occasional sound of donkeys braying echoing off the surrounding cliffs. I was thoroughly lost in the place which is not unusual for me – caught between being engrossed with working my camera and simply absorbing the atmosphere.

Lindos has a wonderful atmosphere away from the summer crowds. I’ve shot here many times but still find myself drawn back to explore further and capture more of that little bit of magic this place always offers.

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.
