Gun of the SMS Coln

This is the tip of the barrel of the 5.9" stern gun of the SMS Coln, in Scapa Flow Scotland. Nicely decorated. Shot with a Oly C3040, Tetra, Inon 100 WA and 1 DX90 strobe. F5.6 at 1/40.

That is an absolutely gorgeous shot. Looks pretty cold and dark down there too.

Cheers

James thanks for the compliment. You would be surprised at Scapa Flow water temp 53 degrees and there is plenty of light for diving with a decent light. Vis runs about 30 - 45 feet. Depths from 70' - 210'. World class wreck diving if you are into military iron.

53 Degrees? Is that supposed to be warm? :-)

Cheers

FANTASTIC! Looks like a floating alien creature.

Thanks Eric. By the way they are alien creatures to most air breathers.

James, 53 is plenty warm in a drysuit.
