There were ideal conditions that night: clear skies, and enough moonlight on my back to light the landscape, but not strong enough to weaken the Milky Way. Panorama shot with the Nikon D850 & Nikkor 19mm Tilt Shift.

The rough volcanic coastline of Reunion Island allows the formation of natural creeks and sea water pools, with some of them having beautiful wildlife.

Pointe au Sel, Reunion Island. Nikon D850 | Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye Once again my fisheye lens was very handy to capture the full rift. Trying to do a panorama with a conventional lens would have been very challenging! I took over 200 exposures of the same composition at multiple shutter speeds and apertures to finally selected 5 to blend them.

Shot from the location called 'Le Maido' (elevation 2000 meters) in Reunion Island. The light below the sea of clouds is coming from the coastal city of Saint Paul. Thanks to that sea of clouds, it prevents light pollution to shoot the Milky Way. Panorama (168 Megapixels) shot with the Nikon D850 and Nikkor 19mm Tilt Shift, ISO 10,000, f/4 15s

When I am in Reunion Island, I usually shoot a lot from this place, because this is the closest good sunset spot from where I live, and there are also a lot of possible compositions. When I shoot seascapes, I always use NiSi filters, for this one I stacked a CPL, GND16 and ND64

I see a dragon's head where the lady is standing, don't you think so? The beautiful rugged volcanic coastline of Reunion Island.
