In St Joseph Michigan, taken in the sunset at the edge of the pier, we were treated with a perfect night. I had my camera equipment setup to take in the view of Lake Michigan. This was a panorama of many shots at 350mm. A sailboat was out there to do the same as us, and it gave us an even better view.
This shot was an accidental double exposure produced with Affinity Photo 2, and its panorama software, when I was stitching the shots together. Well, up popped two different boats together... I liked it so much I kept it. Plus they look different enough, as to not be immediately identified as the same boat.
What makes this special as modern for this contest? Not my camera equipment. But rather the Affinity Photo 2 panorama stitching software. Plus I had to repair issues in the sky using both Topaz-Remove-(Generative-Fill) and old-fashioned clone-and heal methods.
