David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Silhouette of a sailboat passing in front of the sun at sunset from the deck of the MV Explorer. Crossing the Baltic Sea from Stockholm to Copenhagen.
Silhouette of a Sailboat at Sunrise on the way to Stockholm. The image was taken from my cabin. The sun rises very early (before 04:00) this far north. Trying to capture both sunrise and sunset everyday is a challenge.
Kronstadt Lighthouse and St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt on Kotlin Island. Viewed from the deck of the MV Explorer while leaving St. Petersburg, Russia. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera, FT1 adapter, and 80-400 mm VRII lens (ISO 160, 80 mm, f/8, 1/640 sec).
Bonaire Lora on a Tall Cactus in Bonaire. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 280, 300 mm, f/8, 1/320 sec).
Walking to the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 10-100 mm VR lens (ISO 180, 100 mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec).
This was the closest I got to the Cathedral of Christ in Moscow. Ever since the Pussy Riot protest against Putin, cameras have been banned inside the church – even if off and inside a backpack. Thus, I didn’t go inside.
