Oia

A tale right out of the Arabian Nights.

Thanks, Jack. Although I doubt if the characters of the Arabian Nights were ever near Santorini, Greece. But I get the idea.

We are going to be on Santorini in a couple of weeks. I am quite looking forward to seeing what kind of images I can create while there, as well as simply having fun exploring a new island. Nice job on this image, GB, I really like everything about it. Love the architectural details and vibrant colors. I am guessing that with your orientation in Oia that this was taken at sunset? Cheers! Chris

You're going to shoot your a#! off on Santorini. It's easily one of the most beautiful places in the world. And yes this was sunset. Many more to follow. Thanks again!

Yes, I carried a Feisol carbon fiber travel sized tripod that fits well even in small luggage. There are tripods everywhere, so no complaints on that. The issue when we were there was getting shots without Chinese newlyweds in full wedding dress posing for pros or friends. We had to wait a lot at a few spots. But it's worth it.

GB, a question for you. Did you take a tripod with you? I just bought a top of the line Gitzo carbon fiber traveller series. Really light and compact. I just feel naked without a tripod. Did anybody give you grief about using one?
