About the Image(s)

These two images of the island of St. Kitts, showcase the breathtaking beauty of this Caribbean gem, where vivid blue waters blend seamlessly with the sky, kissed by angelic clouds that embody the island’s ethereal charm. Each photo invites viewers to marvel at the harmonious interplay of land, sea, and sky, offering a glimpse into the awe-inspiring wonders of the universe.

The original image captures the island’s rich density, balancing the intricate details of the lower terrain with the grandeur of the majestic mountainside. In contrast, the revised photograph offers a more curated view. By cropping out peripheral distractions, the composition draws the eye to the lush cinematic landscape, highlighting the vibrant local colors and natural beauty in stunning detail.

Both images were imported in Lightroom to enhance sharpness and focus. The revised image also underwent Lightroom’s auto-straighten tool for better alignment after cropping.

I typically shoot with two Canon cameras, but due to health challenges with my shoulders, back, and knee, carrying them while traveling has become difficult. For the holidays, I treated myself to a new Sony ZV-1F and started experimenting with it. While capturing these shots, I realized the need for a stabilizer and purchased one after this photo was taken. This experience has been a delightful learning curve, and I’m excited to continue exploring photography with my new setup.
