Santorini Blue Domes
While staying on the island, I knew I needed to capture Santorini’s blue dome churches in Oia. They are probably the most familiar features of Santorini, and have become an iconic depiction of the Greek islands. A lot of the imagery that I’ve seen has been with clear blue skies overhead, and I wanted to capture the blue church domes at sundown.
As it was the end of summer season, the streets were much quieter than usual, and I had more time and space to set up the shot without a mass of tourists. With the sun lowering, I needed to adjust my camera settings so that the sky wasn’t completely bleached out by the sun’s glare as I shot towards it.
The setting sun cast a fantastic iridescent shimmer onto the waters of the horizon, and a beautiful golden glow into the sky. The tight cluster of buildings across the hillside have a wonderful mix of complementary lemon yellows, pastel pinks and peachy tones that warm the image. Captured in high-definition, there is so much detail which can be studied in all of the rooftops. The smooth blue church domes in the foreground really pop against the jagged rocks and compact angular lines of the houses.
