Ferry Sunset

By TonyA
Fuerteventura is the oldest island in the Canary Islands dating back 20 million years to a volcanic eruption. The majority of the island was created about 5 million years ago and since then eroded by wind and weather. The last volcanic activity in Fuerteventura was between 4,000 to 5,000 years ago.

As I was setting up my tripod on the black volcanic rocks on a cove near Cabo Jandia I saw a Ferry boat on the horizon. I waited for about half an hour and was rewarded because it crossed the sun as it was setting.

IF POSSIBLE PLEASE VIEW LARGE!!!.

Hi Tony,

Shooting into the sunset can be tricky but you held it together well (contrast wise.) I like the boat there. If you want it to be the focal point then you may want to zoom in on it a bit, as it is very small in relation to everything else. I also like the lava foreground, so that creates a dilemna if you still want the boat to be the focal point. If you want to show more detail of the lava, you may want to shoot at a 45 degree angle to the sun.

Thanks Patrick, you are right. My intention was the image of the setting sun with the black rock foreground. When I saw the boat I thought it could be an addition to the image, but never the central point and that is why I did not modify the original angle of view. My error is giving to much emphasis to the boat on the description.
