Down in the Harbor with a Kiev 88
|
|
This "center slice" (at left) was my best choice of the photos I was able to take of this ship. I stood behind a concrete post and cropped out the post and the flare. I was not able to isolate the ship from the power boat nest to it, especially in profile (below)

I have not yet learned to predict the final result of the very small image in the viewfinder The two below are examples. |
|
Lens and finder compatibility remained unchanged
during the 20+ years these models were made.
|
This one is not too bad, considering the uneven lighting. I could have used a couple of flashes to light the lower areas to improve it. The VX1000 and 500 saw the body shape altered and added an instant-return mirror, among other changes.
|
| This one has possibilities, but I executed poorly. I could not move further back, so I cut off the hull when I attempted to include more rigging. The other tall ships behind it on the right confuse the issue. | 
No beauty queens here, strictly "shooters." |
| I suppose I should rent a rowboat and shoot from the water side next time. Shooting with a longer lens in the afternoon when the ships are plying their trade is another possibility, if I am willing to forego the fisheye... | |
|
MyMy early 90s thread mount fisheye is marked "Made in USSR" I do not use it enough. It appears to be single coated, and it is subject to flare unless I can get the sun behind me.
|
A couple of shots with the Arsat 80 in the same area. |
| The two forward stacks of the ship shown below are
visible right of center in this shot.
This area is called Rainbow Harbor. |

ThI had to turn the camera diagonally to fit the Queen into the frame with the 80. I think I'll reshoot this with a 65, a 50 and a 45 to use it as a moderate wide angle test... |
