I was looking through old photographs I have on the computer (stuff since 2008) to see if there was anything that I could put up here. And sure enough, there was this forgotten gem from autumn 2010, the Princess Maria in a nocturnal setting at the Makasiiniterminaali. There are no less than five different variants of this individual photo saved. I suspect I was displeased with the way colours turned out in all of them (the original was heavile red-tinted) and that is why it was never featured here at the time. But better late then never, looking at it now I think it's a fantastic photo.

| A shame you can't take a photo like this anymore in the South Harbour. Although come to think of it, something similar could be archieved in the West Harbour... I should try heading there some evening. |
Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteHieno! Loistava sommittelu, värit ja tekninen taso
ReplyDeleteKiitokset kehuista. :) Sommittelu täytyy tunnustaa puhtaaksi vahingoksi. Kuva on ajalta ennenkuin kameraan oli jalusta, joten jalustan osaa sai esittää Kauppatorin rannassa oleva sähkökaappi. ;)
