Photographer’s Note

Fishing port in Puck. North of Poland.

Other photo from this place is here on TL

It became a marketplace and a seaport as early as 7th century. It achieved a town status in 1348 during the rule of the Teutonic Order. After having been incorporated into Poland (1466) it was the place where the County Administration (Starostwo) was located. Since 1567 Puck was the main base of the Polish Navy. In 1772, through the Partitions of Poland, the town came to Prussia and was returned to Poland in 1919 as part of the Polish Corridor which was created by the Treaty of Versailles. In 1920 in Puck, Poland celebrated Poland's wedding to the sea. During the time of the 2nd Polish Republic, until 1939, Puck was the main war harbour of the Polish Navy and the only Polish harbour until Gdynia was built. (Wikipedia)

Czolem Macku,

podoba mi sie kadrowanie jakie zastosowales. Ciekawe, lekko zamydlowe kolory. Mam jednak wrazenie, ze w glebi kadru lekko uciekla ci ostrosc. Poza tym nic dodac nic ujac.

Pozdrawiam
Filip

Hello Maciej. A very good composition with good perspective and depth of field. The image is sharp and has rich colours. Rich, well lit colours and a dramatic sky. The photo is cropped to be abnormally narrow in its orientation but it seems to work well because of your tight composition. You obviously used a tripod to do this backlit shot with two exposures - it worked out very well.
Regards,
Andrew
