I was watching the sky for the last few days. I find it interesting that sky in Cyprus is mostly boring. In summery it is plain blue, and in winter it is plain gray. Spectacular cloud formations are very rare and usually come either with night time or heavy raining which kind of excludes the photography for me.

I have noticed though that there is some other aspect to watch for – shades. When clouds are few and the sun is shining, clouds drop shadows on to the ground. If shooting from a high spot with nice panorama, there are some opportunities in there.

Just to remind myself about this later on, I’ve uploaded this photograph.

I’ve got 4 pictures for today. I attempted to do a bit more of the night photography, but that type of work does require a tripod. Even when you have a solid base to put your camera on. In fact, my base was too solid – it was a part of the building outside the window. The problem with it was that I couldn’t adjust it in any matter what-so-ever.

Today’s sunrise was amazing. There were no ships in the sea and the colors of the sun and clouds were very contrastish. Sun was also very red. The kind you get at sunsets, not sunrises.
