Location
Right off the bustling streets of the capital City of Malta, Marsamxett Harbour, historically also referred to as Marsamuscetto, is a natural harbour on the island of Malta. It is located to the north of the larger Grand Harbour. The harbour is generally more dedicated to leisure use than the Grand Harbour, The small channel of water is not only the division line between the old and the new but also the place where HMS Maori shipwreck is located, MS Maori was a Tribal-class destroyer named after the indigenous M?ori people of New Zealand. She served with the Mediterranean Fleet until she was bombed by German aircraft while at Malta in 1942 causing her to sink. Her wreck was later raised and scuttled outside the Grand Harbour, and it is now a dive site.Time
I have been scouting the area on either side of the peninsula, to capture a sunset above the Grand Harbour and the St. Elmo bridge/breakwater, Though as luck would have it it was a very clean and cloudless sunset tried a few shots, but after a while i gave up.. walking back the road to my car after packing everything i spotted this little spot ( tripod happy surface ), by the time i un packed and set-up my gear it was around 20:00..Lighting
I set-up to capture the reflection of the highlights on a 1 min exposure and as luck once again played is role a small fishing boat decided to cross my field of view!Equipment
