During my stay in Croatia last year, I went to the Adriatic coast to photograph seascapes during the golden and blue hours. I took my Nikon Z6 with a 24-70mm lens and a tripod.
The weather was very good. Warm, but not scorching. There was practically no one on the shore. I could undisturbed and find interesting shots in peace and quiet.
I found a few boats moored on the shore. The sun was already low, and sunset was approaching inexorably. I regretted not arriving a little earlier. I had missed most of the golden hour. However, there was still some light on the boats.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, I decided to explore the area a little further. I found a few small piers jutting out into the Adriatic Sea. To photograph them, I extended my exposure time to blur the water and give the photo a softer feel. There was still sunshine glow on the horizon, but it was the moon that took up watch as the guardian of the night sky. It can be seen on the left, as a small dot.
I really liked the effect of the sun's rays appearing in the evening sky. The last vestiges of the sun slowly and inexorably giving way to the dark night.
Cool colors began to dominate. The blue and magenta hues gave the scene a subtle, soothing coolness after a hot day.
I have very fond memories of that evening and I'm so happy with the photos I took. There's something magical about the last moments before nightfall in a seaside landscape.
That's all from me today. I wish you all a nice day (or evening)!
