Pirate Cove from the open water: rocky islets, palms and huts around a turquoise lagoon.

The flight

The home page flies a camera over the real build, exported from Roblox Studio, in five stops: the approach, the village, the lagoon, the cliffs and the whole cove.

The lighting

I lit Pirate Cove by placing the emphasis where the detail actually matters. The important buildings, the huts and the lighthouse all add to its magical feel.

One view of the lagoon at three times of day. On the home page you can change the time yourself.

The cove's cliffs and stone hands in warm morning light, with long shadows across the rock.

08:00

Morning. The sun is low behind the camera, so the rock turns warm and the shadows run long.

The same cliffs in the afternoon, lit from the side, with soft shafts of light falling on the build.

16:00

Afternoon. Side light picks out each ledge, and shafts of sun fall through the sea mist.

The same cliffs near sunset, dark against a bright golden sky, with light spilling between them.

17:20

Near sunset. The sun sits behind the cliffs, so they go dark against a gold sky.
