Nightfall in Vernazza

I took this shot while traveling through the town of Vernazza in Cinque Terre, Italy. Since I was backpacking, I was really travel weight conscious so I took along the lightest tripod I had. This turned out to be a huge mistake. It was so flimsy that I had a ton of trouble composing these night shots because the vibrations from the ground would get so easily transfered to the shot.

I had to find creative ways of weighing the tripod down to dampen the vibrations. Every one of my long exposure night shots took at least 3 times longer than they should have.

I love this particular shots because of the variation in colors that run from left to right. Every time I look at this photograph, I remember the warm breezes at night and the fantastic pesto pizza my sister and I enjoyed at sunset.

  • Vernazza is definitely the quietest and most charming of the 5 "cities". You'll have to go to the other cities to really eat dinner since there are few restaurants in Vernazza.

    I'll definitely shoot you an email as I go back to Vancouver every other month to see my family.

    hey trev,

    how are you doing? Long time, no talk. I moved back to Vancouver half a year ago. Not sure how often you're up here. next time you're here, would love to catch up.

    anyways, i'm heading to italy for 2 weeks middle of may for a wedding + roadtrip. we will be staying at cinque terre...so, from what i have read on your blogs before, vernazza is the best out of the 5?
