In january I was in Tenerife - a place which offers al lot of opportunities for the landscape photographers : wonderfull beaches, lava fields, rocks, mountains, big waves, beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
The most important advantage of a small island is that both - sunset&sunrise - are accesible. It's easy to move from one side of the island to another. I booked my hotel in Playa de las Americas, so that I can have quick acces to both sides : east and west. To rent a car is a must in order to reach easily any place.
Near Costa Adeje I found a nice beach for sunsets - Mirador Stone Pebble Beach. It has rocks in the water and the sun is in the perfect angle in january.
A very nice place for sunsets is the road which goes up to Teide. From a high altitude (ex. 1800m) there are nice landscapes with the ocean and with the islands arround.
For sunrise I went in the other side of the island. I looked for nearby places and I found La Tejita beach and Punta de Los Abrigos.
A photo from La Tejita beach:
And near Punta de Los Abrigos, there is a spectacular rocky beach:
Playa de las America is not the ideal place for sunrise because it's on the west side, but even so, the morning light can be interesting:
Sometimes I use the fisheye lens to get curved images. Bellow image is a sunset done with an 180' fisheye on Playa de Fanabe:
Big waves can be nice.
Some big waves at Playa del Castillo in Puerto de la Cruz :
I found big waves also at Almaciga and Benijo:
El Teide - the big volcano - it's also an important destination. From high altitude there are nice views, either with the big mountain, either arround, with the ocean and volcanic rocks. In january the big mountain is covered by snow.
Any place from Tenerife has a good photographic potential and can be interesting.
I spent there only one week. Probably minimum three weeks are need it to explore all places.
