Vilano Beach Morning Walk

A fishing net and fishing equipment on white sandy Vilano beach

On my birthday weekend, I took my new camera – Hasselblad 907X 50C anniversary edition – for a spin. It was a gorgeous morning! This camera is different than any camera I have ever used, However, the camera engineers have designed it in such a wonderful fashion, that it is very intuitive to use.

Fishing is a popular activity and the fishermen’s equipment makes for excellent foreground objects.

Children’s toys, chairs, and beach towels, all can be interesting compositional elements.

Stones of the jetty have great texture and shapes. I often try to match the shapes of those stones and the clouds.

“Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore”

— Lord Byron

Low camera angle can create some interesting point of view.

There are nice beach houses with interesting details too.

Entrance to the beach has interesting buildings and make for nice images.

Transparency and delicacy with which Hasselblad can render colors is astounding.

There are several hotels at the beach.

Main attraction obviously is the ocean itself. And it is gorgeous!

The Ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet, and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.

The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.

Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.

The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.
