Herman Künne, once a Zerstörer.

[Norseman]

I took these pics today on the Herman Kunne, which is a destroyer sunk in 1940 in the Narvik basin, some 50 minutes drive from my home. The bow is at the surface while the stern is down at 40 meters. My first pics from the stern were screwed up but then I did a few changes to the settings and ended up with these. Good having an experienced teckie as photo-ho when going deep, since he's veeery slow in his movements.




And of course all comments are welcome. Good or bad.

Kyrre,
I really like your wide angle style, especially the last photo with the torch highlighting the red object.

Are your waters really yellow-green (some of your previous phots have looked brownish), or do you do that post-processing?

Not sure the upside-down anemone works, as the light in the lower right almost suggests to the eye that the photo should be rotated 90 degrees to the left.

Thanks Cussy.

The red object is actually a tin Christmas cookie jar, of which we did find a few. I suspect the locals use the site for dumping garbage thinking there's so much there already.

As for water it really is brownish yellow green, all depending on whether it's cloudy or sunny. (Also differing with what site we're in. Last pics were in a rather confined bay with very silty bottom) In this case the cumulus clouds were racing across the sky and you could really notice the difference. Also mind that the pics were taken ranging from 30+ to surface, through a rather milky white layer at around 20 meters. In short: You get all colours. Just like your arm ends up if a nurse punctures a vein while looking for blood.

I do do post-processing and it's hard to find the right colour. So I end up being not so fussy about it. If it looks right then I'm allright. For me. Thanks for noticing and commenting on it, let me add.

The upside down plumrose actually was upside down. I tried flicking it around in all cardinal directions and ended up with it as original, but I deffo see your point. Something just isn't right. I posted it to see what others thought though hadn't come around to ask about it (Read: Forgot), so nice catch.
