About the Image(s)

Inbound & Outbound



This was taken on a Baltic Cruise as I stood on the front deck at sunset while we were leaving St Petersburg, Russia.



I used a Nikon D700 with a 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 lens at 122mm, ISO 800, 1/1000 sec, f/5.6, Aperture Priority.



I actually took 12 photos and this is the one I like the best because it shows both the cruise ships leaving St Petersburg

and the fishing boats coming in. I know the image is somewhat dark but think it captures the moment well.

I did some extensive editing in Lightroom because it was somewhat bland coming out of the camera.

I also ran it through a denoise program because it was somewhat grainy and that really helped bring out the clouds.
