Canon 5D with 24-105 IS Lens, ISO 100, F/10, 1/40sec.
This very early morning shot was taken as our cruise ship slipped into the old passenger/cargo port in St. Petersburg. The land to the left is Ostrov Kanonerskiy Island that, while littered with derelict lots and ruins of Soviet era buildings, has a number of apartment blocks as well. The air was still and cool and the water had hardly a ripple.
I feel that the early morning photos I have of St. Petersburg hide most of the industrial detritus and let the view concentrate more on the mood of the day. Passenger ships now dock at a modern cruise port that we have yet to visit, but I will miss the hustle of being in the heart of this commercial port.
