Description

Took this picture sometime between 2007 and 2008, most likely in the summer of 2007 from the seashore in Sardinia. Few years earlier I was asked to compute the exact time of tangency of the Sun as it sets (in the sea), which is a rather complicated affair involving estimating pressure, temperature and humidity amongst other things (because of the different degrees of foreshortening caused by refraction of light at such high air-mass the upper limb of the Sun behaves differently from the bottom limb ). This because this professional photographer was shooting in medium/large format with a longish tele lens. Anyway, that calculations predicted the right outcome and here is my test on the subject matter, with (I believe) a Nikkor 300mm f/4 and the old D50.
