[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here's a view i could wake up to every day for the rest of my life.
Taken from the public gardens in St Raphael on top of the cliff.

The hike to the top was a chore, but the views, both out to sea and surrounding areas were worth it as i've tried to portray from this shot here.

The shot was taken midday, so the sun was virtually overhead resulting in little shadow, but plenty of glare off the sea.

Polarizing filter and UV filter used for added colour saturation and reduced reflection on the sea to pick out the shallows.

Meter reading taken from the wall of the balcony, then keeping the shutter button half pressed so as not to lose the reading, recomposed and fired off the shot with the point of focus directly at the sea just to the left of the flag.

Resized and slightly saturated (0.7 added)

Hi Martin,

This looks an absolutely brilliant place to stay great view. The colours are great especially the sea, the detail is nice and you have managed the light well. Great composition keep up the notes well done.

Regards
Jon
