Every year a 'Maritime Festival' is held in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands. I've collected some images for this series. This is #2. It shows the Russian frigate 'Shtandart' (homeport St. Petersburg) while moored in a dry-dock in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands. The 'Shtandart' was invited by the organization committee for a port call to 'decorate' the 2015 event.

The 'Shtandart' is a replica of the, in 1703 built, original 'Shtandart'. The replica made her maiden trip in 2000.

Vertical format might have been better for this one mate..then we could see all the topmasts!....

The lighting is terrific, a difficult capture, and well taken!

That drydock is a bit too big for the "Shtandart". Nice lighting and good clarity overall in spite of the dark background here Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

Mr. C. For me this really works well, you handled the lighting situation like a pro, and the dark background really sets off the sailing vessel. I also like the horizontal approach, so that I can see some of the surroundings. Bravo! tigs=^..^=

Vivid colours and artificial lighting add further appeal to the originally darkened replica frigate C.

Your narrative is very informative and the link is a definite + for the inquiring mind, interesting that the ip address is American. (o:

The lighting is very good SEA. Did you use a tripod and a longer exposure?
The festival looks like a fun place to be.
Well presented photo.

The detail in the rigging shows so well in this light. A beauty.

Referring to OFT's comment above: I've used a so called 'gorilla pod' and have selected a relative long exposure time. Had to wait until there were no fast moving persons in this scene.

Love the lighting on this one and the resultant colors, popping right off the screen. Faved, Mr. C.
