Hello dear friends,

There is how my village appeared 33 minutes after
my previous photo

As you can see the weather and light change very quickly.

This is a RAW photo converted in JPG. Long exposure. Not much PP work. Just contrast and light adjustment of luminosity.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
I will be go away for the next week!

Hi Annie,
and here comes the continuation ... wow, extreme different. I love this one with the dark sky and the light in the village.
The big cloud in the back looks like a ghost.
Fantastic moment, thanks.
Greetings

Félicitations.
Bonne journée.

Wow Annie ... speechless!!!
Amazing how quickly the weather and the view can change so drastically. LOVE the deep blue color of the sky, and the lights of the village of course. Is the hillside beside the church lit up? It almost looks like lava flowing to the right of the orange lights.
You live in a such a beautiful spot!
Enjoy your Sunday my friend.

Beautiful light Annie,I wonder what image you would capture from this POV, if you set your camera on bulb mode & left it on for an hour one late evening,how many stars ,would it capture in movement?

Hi Annie,
I never tire of the views of your village, you could almost do a full calendar of these wonderful shots - each one is so different
cheers

Hello Annie!
Great gold light and fantastic sky!
Really lovely image!
Best regards!
Lili

Wow! Again Annie, another wow photo. Long exposure? Is this your first long exposure post? I think they're fun. Thanks for sharing the after photo...just amazing difference.

Hello Annie,

Yes, I can see the changes!
It is almost as if the snowstorm has dissolved itself into the sea, allowing the sunshine to come through and illuminate the town.
The trees frame the shot very naturally and, as alwyas, the composition is spot on.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Sorry, although I have not used my quota of critiques for today, my smilies have ended!

Hello,you always manage to create images of great impact.The balance within the picture is outstanding,colors and detail likewise.Best regards Otto.

Wow, what a difference half and hour can make with changing weather conditions! What I especially like here is the way you've captured the city lights. I also really like the unusual emerald green of the sea and the bright blue skies with the foreboding clouds bringing them together.

Hi Annie,
What a drastic difference. The mood is totaly changed here.
The village lights and the bottle green sea creates a great contrast.
Sky and the clouds are lovely and adds a fine effect. I like
the inclusion of the trees in the frame.
Have a nice week.

Re-Bonsoir Annie :)

Je préfère celle-ci, même si l'autre était parfaite, mais je m'y sens mieux, moins déprimée, je dirais :)
Les contrastes sont splendides et le tourbillon de nuages en arrière-plan laissent deviner ce qui vient de se passer. Plein de mouvements et de lumières rassurantes dans cette photo, bravo !

Hi Annie,
It's good to see you here. This is remarkable, I've never seen such cloud cover and to capture it so well. Excellent control of your settings. Like all of yours- very classic. TFS Julie

Amazing capture of light and beautiful cloud formations with terrific DOF! Nice work and really enjoyed viewing your fabulous gallery. TFS!

Annie, among many other things, this would make quite a fine -- and probably unique -- Christmas card. There are so many things to like about it: The light is what strikes me first -- the ribbon of light marking the road, the brilliant glimmers at the front of the church. The medley of color is nice, too -- the rich green of the water, the bank of cloud, the azure sky -- they all play well together. Finally, you've adeptly, skillfully employed the tripod and the long exposure, and that amounts for much of its special touch. I quite agree with Linda's nomination. This is a truly first-rate image!

Warm regards,
Jim
