Catch of the day

A fishing dhow returns to harbour at sunset.

Taken in Stone Town, Zanzibar.

Three blended images via a Canon 500L, exposed for the sun (with solid ND filter), sky (without ND filter) and foreground (several seconds later, when the boat moves into the field of view).

Wow......... Love it!

So it's a photoshop image and not captured as seen then, right?

Great image! I think it probably is "as seen", it's just the camera wouldn't be able to do all that exposing without multiple images. At least not nearly as well.

What an incredible shot!! This has to be one of the finest compositions I have ever seen.

Absolutely stunning!!!

Stellar!

that is a stunning shot... love it...

Not until someone invents a sensor capable of capturing 25 stops of DR, with no lens flare, anyway...

Wow! I'd buy a print of that for my living room. Beautiful!

It'll be on my website soon!

This is incredible!

A perfect capture with terrific exposure blending! It is so wonderful when the sun or moon is low on the horizon and the scale of those awesome heavenly bodies can be juxtaposed against earthly things. And I really love the how the vertical sails are woven against the horizontal background clouds; it's just a brilliant composition! Congratulations.

Good work
