Cape Verde

Cape Verde 2014. The sprit, paradise, adventure and culture of African, Brazilian & Portuguese all mixed into one wonderful place, a mere 16 deg N of the equator. The trip was very chilled with a hint of adventure thrown in. All images captured with Olympus OM-D E-M1 and 12-40mm, 75-300mm lenses - OM-D portability/quality is paramount for my travels nowadays. I did also Scuba dive on the trip but had no uw housing so no diving pics, sorry. Shame because the marine life was spectacular and abundant. A number of the in-camera art filters were used to good effect, namely Dramatic Tone, Key Line (Love this new one), Diorama & Gentle Sepia.

    Cape Verde sand....need I say any more? Low level/floor shots make for a different composition and the camera Live View helps achieve this without the need for rubbing your nose in the sand.
    There is a reason....Note the midday shadow...directly overhead. 16 deg N (near the equator) the sun travels directly overhead. Shadow proof :-)
    Right on the north side of Sal in Cape Verde a certain barren wasteland location offers great mirages (A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky). In this case the false water affect provide by the real blue sky. Great to capture on camera.
