Q - Quidi Vidi
This morning I chose photo taken in Quidi Vidi Village, located in the city of St. John's, in 1982. I lived around 10 minutes walk from this picturesque little harbour and often got up before dawn to make images of sunrises. Today's photos are in the order they were taken.
A small fishing boat headed out as the sun rose behind bands of fog and clouds in the distance and I was lucky to get this shot. I decided that it would be better to move back to include more of the village which I knew would be silhouetted. I shot wider and closer views as the sun rose. I think the star effect in the second photo is natural and occurred when the light from the sun was just peeking above the clouds. I owned a cross-star filter at the time but it had 4 points whereas this one has six.
In the third image I was looking directly towards the sun, which can be dangerous. I try to frame the shot as quickly as possible, then close my eye or glance away to shoot. This photo was taken with a telephoto lens and because the sun is so bright everything else in the image is dark.
