Thistlegorm

Probably the most famours wreck of the Red Sea, it was bombed by

German aircraft on october 6th 1940 and sank almost immediately.

Congratulations for the shot....gan we get some technical data...seems like it was quite an adventure to take it....

Best regards

It's available light, taken at 11:07 so when the sun is getting more powerful.

I used a wide-angle lens with dome that gets you someting like 130 degrees field of vision.

The image itself was in color, mostly blue, but I used the channel mixer in photoshop to get most of the green channel and a touch of the blue channel.

This type pf photo's is only possible in clear water with 20 or more meters visibility and the help of the biggest light we know: the sun

Another time I was there and I can say that this shot is totaly amazing. Very very well done Jaap.

Best regards from Galicia (Spain).

I like the subject matter a great deal. Unfortunately it has no room to "Breathe." The crop is so tight the top and bottom ship's edges are touching the frame edges
