Lights of the Baltic
Cewe Photo Award 2023 – The photo was taken during several photo expeditions to the Baltic, in 2022 and 2023. The photo was taken on the German side of the Baltic, specifically in the town of Koserow. I also took another photo here, which I describe in a little more detail, including the adjustments made.

About photography
The photo was taken in autumn time in the early evening, blue watch time. Thanks to the longer time, visitors were simply not on the pier. On the other hand, thanks to the unfolded tripod at the beginning of the pier, the incoming visitors were comfortable waiting for me to finish taking pictures.
Although the temperature was not completely low – estimated around 8 degrees, be prepared for the fact that it is very windy near the sea. So without gloves, a hat and several layers of clothing, not even a wound. So it is ideal to have a hot drink as well.
If you are lucky with the weather, I found this part of the Baltic coast the most interesting. However, these are mostly monothematic photos of piers at recreation or spa centers.
The advantage of autumn is also the limited number of visitors. My experience is that during the summer you don’t have many opportunities to take photos due to the crowd. So the ideal time, both because of the light conditions, the rawness of the sea, and because of the mentioned facts, is during spring and autumn. We will probably have to try winter time as well.
