UPY Wrecks - Highly Commended
'Very Wrecked'
Pekka Tuuri
In the murky waters of Finland it is really a struggle to find clear water to shoot wide angle. In Kaatiala Mine in wintertime, under the ice cover one can find such water. I had photographed this car wreck several times before. It is very unimpressive! I got an idea to photograph the car as if it were on fire. Lots of light and preferably lots of divers, too. I recruited volunteers and everybody said yes. We planned the photo at the surface and photographed the plan. Everybody did their part. With the help of my can-do friends an unimpressive car wreck turned into a rather impressive photo! And I will go back there. I already have a couple of new ideas...
Judge's comment: This was a particularly stand out image for me and more so each time it came on the screen. The lighting idea is different, graphically simple and visually direct. It makes a very ordinary subject extraordinary.
