Capturing this one, has almost caused a dilemma to me. In such nightly conditions I prefer to choose a relative long shutter opening time. But a lot of other 'moving' visitors at the scene would have destroyed my result. Reducing the shutter opening time, on the other hand, would have produced more noise and the loose of DOF. So I've searched for a compromise. Hope that I have succeeded in doing this.

This night time shot shows the Russian frigate 'Shtandart' (homeport St. Petersburg), captured from the stern position, while moored in a dry-dock in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands. The 'Shtandart' is a replica of the, in 1703 built, original 'Shtandart'. The replica made her maiden trip in 2000.

She is such a beautiful ship and she looks wonderful under these lights at night, Mr. C. You did a great job. I would love to see her in person under full sail. I just cannot imagine keeping up with all those sheets and lines.

Night photography presents a slew of challenges, though you pulled through magnificently, Cornelius.

Very well done with the night shot Cornelius. The "Shtandart" is shown clearly with good lighting and the background looks very good too.
