Photographer - 'deejayvee' : "The Aegean was like glass and the sunrise was created a mesmerising pattern of blue, pink and white reflecting off the water. And then I looked up and realised the ship was almost completely surrounded by massive cliffs with white tops that kind of looked like snow. "
I am from Sydney, Australia. Despite working in IT, my main interest when travelling is history - particularly military history. As such, I tend to visit a lot of castles.

Photo Of The Week Reply to this Thank you very much! Santorini is one of those places where it is hard to take a bad photograph. This was taken from the village of Oia which is just beautiful and most of my photos there were of the village. When I looked down into the caldera though, I saw our cruise ship was not far away. Apparently the ship was unable to drop anchor and had to keep moving all day while we were ashore. This worked out great for me because the ship added a focal point to this picture of the caldera.
Technical stuff - I carry a Panasonic GH3 while travelling as it is a nice compromise between quality and weight. This photo was taken with an aperture of f/11 and shutter speed of 1/200 second. ISO is 200, which is the minimum for the GH3. Some post-processing was done in Adobe Lightroom.
