TALL SHIPS REGATTA 2010

The Historical Seas Tall Ships Regatta takes place in May and early June 2010, concluding in time for participating vessels to make passage to northern Europe to take part in The Tall Ships Races.

Leg one of the Historical Seas Tall Ships Regatta will follow the route, according to legend, of Jason and the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece from Volos, Greece (9-12 May) through the Dardanelles into the Black Sea. The next port of call will be Varna, Bulgaria (21-24 May), departing on the country’s National Day (24 May). From there the fleet will race to Istanbul, Turkey (27-30 May), where the Regatta will be a centrepiece of the city’s celebrations of its designation as European Capital of Culture in 2010. From there the fleet will cruise and race to Lavrion, Greece (4-7 June) close to Athens and a wealth of other historical and cultural sites in the region of Attica....etc...see :

Ciao Georgios,
immagine favolosa, un POV perfetto che inquadra il veliero rendendolo maestoso.
Splendido il contrasto tra il suo colore ed il cielo blu intenso, perfetta la qualità dello scatto, i riflessi e la grande qualità.
Un caro abbraccio
Giorgio

Γεια σου Γεώργιε,
Πολύ όμορφη λήψη με εξαιρετική προοπτική και πολύ ωραίο φωτισμό, υπέροχα χρώματα, ίσως αν μπορούσες να κάνεις λίγα βήματα πίσω και δεν έκοβες το μπροστινό κατάρτι να ήταν 2 φορές πιο εντυπωσιακή και όχι μόνο μία.
Καλό σου βράδυ, Βασίλης.

Γεια σου Γιώργο,
I was at Volos last Friday and I saw the ships, this one was the biggest.
To this photo I found very interesting the angle you use with this exaggerated perspective.
Να είσαι καλά.

Angshu (56760) 2010-05-13 22:00

Hello Georgios
Excellent perspective created and the wide lens creates the gigantic effect. Like the fluttering of the flags...a result of the slow shutter speed. Fine contrast with the blue hours sky. Good work!

Bonjour Giorgios,
Une photo qui attire le regard avec des couleurs merveilleuses et un graphisme d'une grande beauté !
La vitesse de la prise a permis d'avoir un flou sur les fanions agités par le vent.
Excellent !
Amicalement
Jacques
