It’s an old adage in photography that the best light is early in the morning and later in the day.
Wherever I go, I make it my business to be out and about before the sun rises.
For this picture I used my Bronica and a slick tripod.
I was looking for the sunrise and it was an extra bonus that a couple swimming in the early morning added a romantic touch.

Hotel in Sunny Beach on the Black Sea Coast.
Description:
Sunny Beach is one of the most popular resorts on the Black Sea Coast.
It’s a well established destination for international holiday makers, nearby from Russia and Romania and also from Western European Countries such as Britain and Germany.
In summer there’s more or less a guarantee of bright sunshine, warms sea, and non-stop 24 hour entertainment.

Of course it isn’t always sunny at Sunny Beach – but I’ve never been there when it wasn’t.
I felt that two strong colours gave a bright summer image.
And, of course, yellow is a colour for the sun.
This is a picture that really only works in colour but of course I’ve also tried to select carefully from a compositional point of view picking out the detail with an 80-200mm zoom on my Canon.

One of the greatest lessons I have learnt as a photographer is that not all photographs are best taken at the height of my eyes when I’m standing.
I chose a low viewpoint to emphasise the shape of the boat and to clear the background.
I used a Bronica 6×6 film camera which gave me plenty of leeway when it came to cropping.
