are races for sail training Tall Ships (sailing ships). Between 1973 and 2003 they were sponsored by Cutty Sark and called "The Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races". They are currently supported by the city, province and port of Antwerp. The races are held annually in European waters and consists of two racing legs of several hundred nautical miles, and a "cruise in company" between the legs.

The first Tall Ships' race was held in 1956. It was a race of 20 of the world's remaining large sailing ships organized by Bernard Morgan, a London lawyer. The race was from Torquay, Devon to Lisbon, and was meant to be a last farewell to the era of the great sailing ships. Public interest was so intense, however, that race organizers founded the Sail Training International association to direct the planning of future events. Since then Tall Ships' Races have occurred annually in various parts of the world, with millions of spectators. Today, the race attracts more than a hundred ships, among these some of the largest sailing ships in existence. The 50th Anniversary Tall Ships' Races took place during July and August, 2006, and was started by the patron, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who also started the first race in 1956.

Witam
Napisałeś ze to HDR MODE.
To zdjęcie to przykład jak NIE STOSOWAĆ HDR...
Spójrz na to co dzieje sie na niebie. Potwornie wyglądające halo wokół masztów i burtach statku. Czarne niebo i jasny dół...
To co pokazałeś to niestety przykład nieumiejętnego stosowania programów w rodzaju Photomatixa.
Jestem na nie :(

PP zabił to zdjęcie.

Hi Pawel
Good job with the computer bells and whistles on this one. Would have like to see all of the closer ship. Quite an event.
