ꒌ ПЛИНСКИ РЕЧНИ ТАНКЕР руши километре низ Мерведе (Рајну), највероватније негде ка Ротердаму или ка некој рафинерији у околини. Рекло би се да овај теретњак под немачком заставом плови празан или полупразан. Палуба је крцата импресивном специфичном технологијом коју на жалост не видимо добро због нижег положаја фотографа у равни воде. До астрономског заласка сунца остало је тачно 20 минута, али разни објекти на површини Земље већ су га заклонили при самом тлу (и површини воде).
► ▓░█ HGK GAS TANKER, under German flag, presumably empty on its way to new cargo somewhere around Rotterdam. Imagine that refueling! To my eye this is a very neat vessel with highly specialized technology on deck designed for moving around specific, highly flammable fuel. Air temperature on the river at this moment is ~-1°C in biting steady breeze. Twenty minutes left before the astronomical sunset at 17:56 ↓ 251°. But the objects on the Earth's surface in the distance are already blocking the sun rays close to the water line. The bow and the bridge are still fully lit.
֎⃣ Panasonic G90 with Lumix 12-35mm f2.8 fully zoomed in, shutter priority 1/1000 sec handheld, overexposed ⅔ of a stop. Resulting in aperture of f/2.8 and ISO 500 (I love those fine intermediate ISO-steps in auto modes of Olympus and the newer Panasonics – it appears to me that the intermediate values like ISO 1000, 1250, 2000, 4000 or 10000 render noise better than the standard values – have you too noticed anything like that?).
Developed from raw and edited in Affinity Photo 2.4
The JPEG file is much smaller than tiff and in IrfanView I could have sharpened it additionally, but even without the sharpening the jpeg exported version has slightly more noise. So I opted for tiff. Thank you Flickr.
