Took this at dusk a few weeks ago. 8 second exposure, delta 100 film.

At first glance, it's a lovely photo, definitely worth hanging. But as I "live" with it more, the "old-style" treatment of toning and vignetting is not in synch with the relatively new-looking boats. In other words the vintage look is incongruous with the non-vintage watercraft.

I still like photo, very much, in fact, provided I don't look to closely at the boats!!

Thanks for the comment Terry. This image was more of a experiment on my part to see if I had my reciprocity calculations right. With that said, it's hard to find old boats these days :)
