2010-08-03cl Ukrainian flag

An emulation of the Ukrainian flag, created via a long exposure taken from a moving train window. Shot somewhere between Kraków and Przemyśl, in Poland, on my way to the Ukrainian border.

Part of my flags project, where I (attempt to) evoke the flag of a nation I am visiting through a particular image. The flag originates in 1848 in L'viv, and was used periodically by nationalist and resistance movements through the occupation and administration of modern-day Ukraine by Polish, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Soviet interests through to independence in 1991.

Long exposure taken with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens fitted with an Opteka 0.35x Semi-fisheye Converter, and mounted on a Joby gorillapod. I used GIMP to enhance the saturation and apply a selective gaussian blur, and cropped in Photoscape.
