UPY 2019 Wrecks - Third
'The Bell'
Pekka Tuuri
The Baltic Sea is a treasure trove of wooden wrecks. However, many of them have been stripped of their wheels, bells and artifacts. This unknown and unnamed wreck is a new find by one of my friends. The bell has been moved from its original site but it is with the wreck in quite a natural setting. I had dived the wreck once before. Therefore we could agree on the shot on the surface. The water was very murky, so minimal shooting distance was required. Murky water also allows for powerful backlighting. This picture is a vertical panorama of two shots. It looked good already in the water and I was very happy to find out that the initials of the model diver showed perfectly on the fins.
Judge's comment: If ever there was an image which captures ‘the moment’ and imparts pure wreck exploration excitement, this has all the ingredients.
