Views of the oceans and seas
Summer Evening at Anchor on the Baltic Sea Near Stockholm. From the Deck of the MV Explorer. It is after 21:00 (9 PM) and the sun is still up in the sky. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 800, 24 mm, f/10, 1/2000 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro Nik Define, and Photoshop CC.
The day before the Iceland Photography Safari started, I went on a walkabout in Reykjavik. The morning was cloudy with some light rain when I came across a cat sitting in front of the famous Hallgrímskirkja (church of Hallgrímur). In the evening, I walked along the harbor to see Sólfar, the Sun Voyager steel sculpture. From wikipedia “Sun Voyager is a dreamboat, an ode to the sun. Intrinsically, it contains within itself the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.” The sun didn’t set until after 22:00 (10 PM).
Lighthouse at dusk in the Gulf of Finland Near Kronstadt Island from the deck of the MV Explorer as we departed Russia. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 1600, 300 mm, f/2.8, 1/125 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, Nik Define, and Photoshop CC.
Time-Lapse Video of Noctilucent Clouds taken from the deck of the MV Explorer while traveling across the Baltic Sea. Images taken with a Nikon Df camera with a 24 mm f/3.5 PC-E lens and a Fuji XT1 camera with a 23 mm f/1.4 lens. Images processed with Capture One Pro, Photoshop CC, Premiere Pro CC, and After Effects CC. I used the warp filter in After Effects to stabilize the images taken on the deck of a moving ship.
