Lagana Beach At Sunset

Lagana Beach At Sunset

This view I took as my reward for taking Alphie to the beach for his walk, despite it being a little late. It had been one of those days where intentions were good, but things hadn’t gone to plan and before I knew it the day had gone.

A winter #sunset over #Zakynthos

Not having my camera on me I took the picture on my phone and was pleasantly surprised at how it came out. Still kicking myself though for not having my camera on me as I imagine the photo would have been even better taken on a 20mp camera as opposed to a 5mp phone camera.

About Debbie

Hello, I’m Debbie (also known as ChirpyDebs) and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Now the children are all grown up I’m happiest when I’m out with the dogs or hiking a trail with my camera in hand. My blog is where I like to share photographs showing the wild beauty of Zakynthos that most people don’t get to see, recipes and other seemingly random things that come to mind.

Debbie, what a wonderful place to live, to be able to walk along this gorgeous sea. This photo is incredible, I feel like I am walking right along with you. I hope all is well with you and your family! Nikki Frank-Hamilton recently posted...#WAYWOW NO. 26. Incredible.

It's such an amazing sunset... and incredible that you managed to capture it so beautifully using your phone! What's the temperature over in Zakynthos at the moment? Izzie Anderton recently posted...The Elf goes Shopping...

  Hi Izzie, I think so too and it was pure luck too that it came out so well. I just really wanted to take the photo and did. I'm learning that it's often the best approach! The weather has taken a turn this week and we're having storms (to be expected I suppose after the recent good weather), but it's still not cold, just damp. It's showing 16C on the outside thermometer, not bad considering the suns not been out today. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

I think that's a really nice sunset picture! Half the time I end up taking my dog out so late that the sun is completely gone! Becca recently posted...My Cousins Got Married

  Hi Becca, thank you. I usually take ours out earlier, so don't usually see a sunset like this. Maybe now I'll be taking Alphie out later a little more often! Thank you for stopping by and commenting. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

It's gorgeous. I get tripped out about what camera/lens I have all the time, but often your eye and mother nature do all of the work! Tamara recently posted...Spreading Comfort & Cheer & Not Germs.

  Hi Tamara, thank you. It was down to luck more than anything, if I had to deal with lenses or camera settings the sun would have long set before I pressed the button. I can see where you're coming from, if my livelihood depended on my photo quality I'd worry too about the lenses. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

  Hi Jen, I bet the view of the desert land over your back wall looks beautiful in the sunset or sunrise. I'd love to see some pictures! See we always think that the grass is always greener (or the sunsets are prettier) somewhere else. Thank you for stopping by and look forward to seeing a photo or two of yours one day! xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

  Hi Kim, the island is very peaceful at this time of year, but that evening down the beach felt extra peaceful. It was nice. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

  Hi Sarah, I do too. We used to laugh at the amount of sunset/photos we used to take, but I never get fed up of seeing them. Thank you for stopping by. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

What a beautiful picture, I think it works well from your phone, it gives it a softness that a real camera wouldn't.

  Hi Fiona, and there I was thinking that the softness was my declining eyesight! There's more to be said for a Nokia Lumia phone camera than I thought, I was pleasantly surprised myself. Thank you for popping over. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable

  Hi Darren and hank you. It certainly seemed to be the case in this instance. I nearly didn't take the picture as my phone camera isn't that good. Thank you for stopping by and for hosting. xx Debbie recently posted...Hip Dysplasia In Dogs; Delaying The Inevitable
