Prieni !

Your photo reminded me one estonian postage stamp. Absolutely different thing but visually similar.

When the stamp came out people told it to remind them a ship...to be more exact ship that once was called "Estonia". If you have hard about it.

You are right!
How fitting that I took that shot in Tallinn

I thought Heavy was going to be a tough subject, but the standard's really high so far. I like yours in particular Prieni. Is it cropped, did you take it with a long focal length, or did you take a ducking that day?

Thanks Mhuni!

If I remember correctly it isn't heavily cropped, probably a bit at the bottom to get rid of the concrete blobs I was crawling on. It was taken at 300 mm, and it was moored at the quayside. So no danger involved, really.

Yes, taking a closer look I can see it's static. Still a nice shot though.

Like yours a lot too Aiki - good detail on the foreground ice and wonderful contrast with the buildings/sky in the background. What lens did you use for this?

It is not confidential.
I only have two lenses.
This time it was Sigma 70-300
(If it is Pentax, then it would be in exif. isnt it so ?)

Thanks!

Oh jee.... this time (a year ago, january) the Sigma was my only lense

Had to wait the Pentax DA 16-50 for several months. Ordered x-mas time 2007 (with the camera), but got the lense in march !!!

My exif never displays the lens (though I only have Pentax, so far) - just date, aperture etc.. That's why I put the lens in the info section.
