Hello Kari! How nice the lights and you are never wrong with the blue hour. Great how the Captain stands there, probably proud of "his" paddle wheeler, I would be. I have a paddle wheeler taken on Lake of Zurich in late summer and I was thinking of you. I somehow missed to post it, but I can always do it later, it is never too late. I like the swan in the foreground, it looks a little lost, probably busy to get away :))) Have a nice weekend, stormy here in Zurich and it will snow later in the day ... Barbara.

Good morning Kari
A perfect hour for a great shot. That evening time that allows both the natural light and the electric blend together in a beautiful effect. Great details and the swan a nice touch to it. I think it's really nice
Have a good weekend and TFS

Excellent blue hour shot. Pitty you framed so tight that you lost the tip of the mast, but on the other hand you saved a swan! :-))

Hi Kari
These boats are really one of the symbols of this huge lake. I like the compression given by the telelens. Good exposure.
Cheers

Ah Kari,
the ferry at blue hours with all the light on is really fascinating. And you even caught a swan in front!
Those old paddle wheeler are so charming but the twilight atmosphere makes it even more appealing.
TFS,
Donato

Hello Kari,

This fine specimen reminds me of Skibladner in Mjösa, Norway!
There are differences in the design, in particular when it comes to the paddles...
The artificial light creates this warm inviting atmosphere inside!

Greetings,
