Description Walking towards the exit of the canyon of Portitsa, the sun light plays with the walls of it and creates its personal color palette, I didn't have much to do, just setup the tripod and the let the camera do the rest while I was really lost in awe by the view.
It is really astonishing and majestic being able to experience the beauty of nature at a time when most people are roaming crowded islands seeking for "relaxation", I couldn't have asked for more at that time as a human being, just stare in awe away from everyday pressure and problems.

incredible photography ! So inspiring !

I saw on your desciption that u use a canon 5D and a Canon 17-40L f/4. I have a canon 600d and i was wondering if i got the same lens as you, would the quality of the photos come out in probably not the same way because you have a 5D, but a similar way?

Thanks!

Ah, it's not only the equipment, but a combination, of light, equipment and post-processing, short answer, no, equipment is only a small part of photography

double για την φωτο και για το σχολιο σχετικα με την "ξεκουραση" και "ψυχαγωγια" που μπορει να βρει κανεις στα νησια το καλοκαιρι και την πραγματικη αναταση ψυχης που βρισκει στην φυση
