Challenge: Signature Style (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Epson R-D1
Lens: Voigtlander Color Skopar Classic 35mm f/2.5 MF Wide Angle - Black
Location: Sydney Australia
Date: Jan 9, 2010
Aperture: f8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 11 sec
Date Uploaded: Jan 9, 2010

 the lights on the Sails were off for some reason, so I had to go for a semi silhouette
other than that it was worth getting up at 3.45am as it was a beautiful morning to try out my 6mp Epson R-D1 rangefinder (2004). Everything is manual on this camera even down to using a cable shutter release and counting the seconds, no watch let alone a second hand to help thats why it is 11 sec not the 10 I was going for :)

played with in lightroom... mostly the tones, lightening the sails a little, removing a few dead pixels and the crop
then it was off to photoshop for the frame.
