Mediterranean Sky

Lying in the cold water for many years, it used to be a ship which sailed across the seas of the world. The years passed and it ended up, abandoned in a gulf of Elefsis where it half sunk.
Nowadays it is a popular kind of sightseeing as you drive away or back from a country road. It is extremely popular for photographers and divers.
Many workshops are being organised at the coastline with photographers from across our country.
These photos are from my personal archive. Photographed back in 2018 with my first Nikon D7200 (which I sold some years ago and regretted. I bought a new one after a few months which i still own) and a very old Nikkor DX lens. Then ND filter system was a very cheap one with loads of colour cast which was almost impossible to correct.

Although I'm in photography since the age of 11, long exposure photography was something I tried 4 years ago. These are some of my first steps.

wonderful shots with a great subject. very nicely done
Good morning Andy Smith Andy Smith!

Thank you! I had some difficulty in P.P. because of the ND color cast. I did the best I could.
If the sea was smoothed more, by using a longer exposure, I think it would look better.

I agree that the sea would look fantastic if it was smoother, but it is nice as is because it adds drama.
I like the slight blue cast on the second image bottom portion as I think it conveys sadness for the ship, which I don't feel in the first image.

You are right about the blue in the first photo. It is missing. I'll to a re edit.
