About
This is an Oil Rig in for refit at dry docks in Halifax Harbor, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I took this using all manual settings with a Nikon D1x, at 2320 hours on the evening of 26 December, 2006. Tripod mounted, remote shutter release and lock, I had the f-stop set at f22 for 45 seconds, with an ISO setting of 400. The evening was bitterly cold, with a wind chill factor of -20, and strong winds. The choppy water smoothed out with the long exposure, and the reflected light on the water became much more visible also.
wow, what a rig this is .. great photo ! I saw a program on NGC recently, about a wharf in South Korea, there they were building 3 of these megastructures simultaneously .. awesome .. Best regards, Peter
