Platinum Sunset on the Pollara Coast

Salina Island, Italy — July 17, 2011

This coastline on the Island of Salina serves as the backdrop for many scenes in Il Postino, which was filmed there. This photograph was taken at sunset from Pollara beach during my honeymoon. I have created an HDR image combining 3 exposures of the same landscape to add contrast and extra texture, and converted it to a silvery black and white for an eerie, more moonlit ambience.


Film and Camera: Canon EOS 40D - Digital RAW
