Sunset at Niendorf, Germany

The story behind the image

In 2017 we visited the Baltic Sea for two weeks, concretely the village of Niendorf close to Lübeck in Germany. While it is a small community it has everything you’d expect from a summer destination: a beautiful beach, restaurants, small shops, a supermarket. But it’s not super vibrant and busy like its bigger neighbors, Timmendorfer Strand and Travemünde. In a way, it’s a diamond waiting to be discovered. So, in short – it’s perfect for us.

One late afternoon we went to the small harbor to get some good fish for dinner, and on our way back we admired the sunset. I put the small EOS M on a nearby pole to enable a long exposure time (at ISO 200), and the result is this nice image. Of course, with a bigger camera and a better lens it might have been even better, but I don’t mind because the photo captures the peace of the location really well. And this is what counts.
