Fast Track to Photography Course in Gozo – Day 4

I went back to work last Monday as planned and had some better days, and some worse. The heat hasn’t been helping at all – upon coming home I usually find the nearest horizontal area and collapse in a steaming heap, with nothing further from my mind than blogging about the photography course!

Well, a week ago today we met up late afternoon for a change, and the photo shoot took place at sunset. At first I was a bit miffed when I’d read about the chosen location – Dwejra. I’ve been down there so many times that I should be made a honorary something of Dwejra!! But I hadn’t known that it would be a sunset shoot much different to the ones I’d undertaken before. I loved it – except for the mosquitoes that attacked us like kamikaze bombers…

Our tutor, Kevin Casha, took photos with lighting… While I’m happy with my silhouettes, his pics make me green with envy!!

Super Sunset

So it’s over a week ago that I said “tomorrow is another day”. That’s how it goes, my life seems to be one big merry-go-round, though it isn’t exactly merry, most of the time. It just zooms by in a hurry…

Yesterday I was MOD (or ‘manager on duty’, for the non-hoteliers among you); I’ll never lie and say I enjoy these 14 hours shifts. Thankfully they come around only once every 4 to 6 weeks, so it’s safe to say I can live with them. On these days I usually lug my camera with me – you never know that opportunities might come along! After a long drawn-out day I was rewarded when the time came for the sun to set.

...and from the roof top!

A friend of mine (who also saw yesterday's sunset) said it looked almost unnatural - it did!

A last peek before descending the stairs!

Getting such shots done, make it all worthwhile for me!
