The shadow edge

Uploaded: October 14, 2009

Description

While I standed on the wall waiting the best timing to shoot, the clouds formation in the sky enabled a clear shadow line covering the hill and village in the foreground while sunshine iluminated the rest of the landscape. It came to me as a gift of landscape contrast and I captured right that moment. (The sun rays are natural).
Region of Cinqueterre in Italy.

Exif: F Number: 11.3, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 17.00 mm, Model: EOS 30D
