Gulf of Aden

Gulf of Aden · **3 Likes**

Photo taken during night passage via Gulf of Aden - well known Piracy zone so razor wire is visible on the sides of the vessel. Any way Armed security O/B that time.
There is clearly visible plankton glow from bow wake.
Please note Jupiter and Venus at one of the closest approaches every few hundred years.

59 seconds exposure so based vessel movements and vibrations pretty clear shot.

Nice effect on water, nominated.

I've heard of the plankton glow, but, this is the first photo I've seen of it. It makes a very nice contrast with the ship.

Thanks for viewing. In fact to find time once the vessel is not rolling, plankton glow visible and our solar system planets so close + Pentax K-5 on board :-) is a miracle. In fact I was trying to make similar photos with my GX20 - but comparing to K-5, which dynamic range is outstanding, GX20 results were miserable.

kittynexu5 · 10-08-2015, 07:00 PM

Great shot. I love the way the sky and the sea blend into each other - and that's where the ship is taking you.
