It was reported on the news this morning that the Indian Sindhurakshak submarine that I photographed in Tromsø (09-Feb-2013) experienced two explosions a fire, and sank while docked in Mumbai last night.
Indian Navy Diesel-Electric Submarine INS #Sindhurakshak Docked Next to the Hurtigruten MS Finnmarken in Tromsø. The 16-year-old Russian built submarine was returning from a 2 year upgrade in Russia. This was the first time that I saw a submarine with glass windows in the conning tower. Composite of 3 images taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 18.5 mm f/1.8 lens (ISO 800, 18.5 mm, f/1.8, 1/30 sec) combined using AutoPano Giga Pro.
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).
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.
