Harbour experiment in the twilight zone

2008.03.17




Was out for a eveningwalk yesterday, through the center and the harbour. Had my photogear with me. Managed to do some experiments at the harbour. The three first shots are of "Statsraad Lehmkuhl", a training ship built in 1914. This is the nicest and biggest of these kind of ships in Norway, and it belongs to Bergen city. Actually my father was signed on this ship during 1953 when he was 14 years old, he was a sailor for 5 years.
I have also been on a few trips with this ship, it is a charming old lady.
Anyway, it was quite difficult to make sharp photos yesterday. This is because it was hard wind, a lot of boat-traffic on the harbour and I used 30 second shuttertime. The ship was moving all the time, you can see it especially on the ships forepeak, its quite blurred.
The last shot is from another spot in the harbour, and on this photo I used 1 minute shuttertime.

Canon EOS 30D

Hope you all will enjoy them

Chris
