While on vacation/shooting assignment January 2002 in the caribbean I shot this beautiful sunset over the Great Bay-Philipsburg, St. Maarten. This photo assignment was several months after 9/11 and the four islands I was shooting that month were almost deserted. There was also a palpable feeling of uneasiness in traveling to and around the caribbean at that time.
This image was shot with a Mamiya 645AFd medium format camera on Fuji NGHII 120 film.
Bryant - beautiful picture. I third that. Have never been would love to be there right now.
Tanya-
St. Maarten is one of my favorite places on earth. it is incredibly beautiful there.
Tanya-
Half the island is Dutch and the other half of the island is French.
Bryant - Very beautiful photograph, I reall like the sun-rays coming through the clouds.
Robert-
It was beautiful that evening in St. Maarten and luckily the Fuji Film I was using had the latitude to include the sun rays and still retain shadow detail. Not to Bad for a final print considering it is a scan from a 645 slide.
