UPY 2018 Wrecks - Highly Commended
'Stuka'
Pekka Tuuri
This is an often photographed aeroplane in just 23 meters of water. The photo was already planned on the surface. I guided my models to the right places by shouting as we were all on rebreathers. An overcast day gave a soft, nice and not too bright light. I have about 10 different photo versions of the plane with the divers (closeups, strobe, no strobe etc.). This is the one I liked the most. The picture is a panorama of two images.
Judge's comment: I have to admit that I have a soft spot for available light wreck shots augmented by strategic additional lighting but I can't help but feel that a higher shooting angle would have added the power that this shot needed to push it up a few places.
