Dubai Cruise Cruising the Blue Hour

(Dubai)

Surely a nice way to start the evening! Taken from one of the six bridges which span over this huge marina (over 3 kilometers long).

Looks like a vertorama, but actually this is a conventional panorama, made with 3 shots in portrait mode. Digital Blending, using a total of 10 exposures.

Of course, there is a little trick for the boat, it was shot at ISO 1250, f/2.8, which gave me a comfortable shutter speed of 1/20s. The rest is shot at f/8, ISO 200, with much longer shutter speeds (between 2 to 30 seconds).
