Fun at sea

Sailing in the Baltic Sea somewhere south of Karlskrona. The sea here is completely different to the Finnish coastline: there are no islands, and we could easily sail for a few hours without seeing a sight of land, another vessel, or a bird. July 2008.

This photo made Explore's #6 on July 29, 2008.

    Brilliant moment! Only thing that I don't like is the gray coating of the clouds behind, otherwise it's perfect. Well done.

    how da hell do you achieve this HDR pics from a single file???

  18. timtom.ch (57 months ago | reply)

    Wow! I usually don't like HDR that's too obvious, but for this picture it works really well. I love it! Kind of reinforces the feeling of presence.
