Posts about sunset

  • A cold walk on the shores of Lac de Neuchâtel, and some lovely pink post-sunset light.

  • Faulensee at sunset

    Time to start warming up for hillier walking…

  • Finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin photograph to end the day.

  • Selected images for the 2023 calendar I made for my aunt.

  • Calendar for Mum

    My selected images for Mum’s 2023 calendar.

  • You can tell that I’ve enjoyed myself when I come home from a walk or a day out with a set of photos. Here are four from a chilly but lovely winter sunset on the shores of Lac Léman last weekend. I’ve loved square-format images since I started taking photos with a medium-format film camera…

  • Île de Peilz

    I like unusual things and the tiny natural island around 500 metres from the lake shore at Villeneuve, on Lac Léman, certainly fits that bill.

  • Cable car passing the woods, Mürren

    Mainly speaking, the month of February is a cold one, when my thoughts start turning to days out and summer temperatures. That being said, I still managed to get out on some trips, with the main goal of getting some exercise.

  • Using a drone isn’t all about “aerial photography”, but, for me, about the ability to get better angles for photos which are otherwise out of reach.

  • Melchsee-Frutt, Switzerland

    Abrupt sunsets

    Sunsets in the mountains are different from those over flatter landscapes.

  • Trebarwith Strand, Cornwall

    We recently spent a lovely couple of weeks on holiday, touring the south of England and spending a full week in Cornwall. On arrival at the self-catering cottage we’d booked, we chose to make things easy for ourselves and head to the Port William Inn for a pub dinner in one of the few buildings at the seaward…

  • Niesen Kulm. Switzerland

    The Niesen casts a clearly triangular shadow when the sun is low in the sky.

  • Evening light on the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau

    We are ever grateful for the opportunity to live in such a beautiful country. For the luck which means that we are of sufficient means to decide, based on a weather forecast, to drive for fifteen minutes and ascend in a rattling funicular cabin to a place which feels like the top of the world. All to…

  • Locals and photographers alike gather on the hill near Lausanne’s cathedral to watch – and photograph – the summer sunsets. The northern shore of Lac Léman is one of the best places in the country from which to photograph the sunset.

  • Evening Cruise

    Ask anyone who knows me well, and they’ll probably be familiar with me excusing myself during dinner to step out and photograph the sunset.

  • A view of the lake shore at the tiny mountain village of Melchsee Frutt in canton Obwalden, Switzerland.

  • A photo from 1998 of the ruined West Pier in Brighton, on the south coast of England.

  • Photographed from the viewing tower on the hill at Gurten.

  • I’ve been meaning to spend a little time to sit down and really get to grips with the High Dynamic Range editing process. For the unititiated, the HDR is a photo which contains detail within a much wider range of tones than is possible through an individual shot, from deep shadows to bright highlights.

  • A view at sunset of the low-lying area of Bern called “Marzili”.

  • Outtake

    An outtake from a photo shoot with a friend this weekend; Jo and Katrin on the shores of Lake Thun at Neuhaus, near Interlaken.
