Crikey! I just realized that in the latest photo the Millennium Falcon is at a different angle. Someone moved it? Furthermore, in the winter photograph the landing ramp is cosed and there is a tarp over the cockpit. It's not as abandoned a spaceship I thought it was.

Hey, look, a cool little tugboat!
It was a nice cold evening in Helsinki mid-January and I was walking downtown with my camera. I saw this nice tugboat and thought I'd try to do one scale model mashup without having anything in front of the model to help blending it to the scene. A free flying spaceship against the sky is probably the most common of these type of photographs, but I haven't really done those (except once). I think they are difficult to do. This time I shot a few frames of the tugboat for trying this out.
I tried to match the models to the lighting and atmosphere of the original photograph the following night, but the delicate winter light wasn't that easy to catch. I tried a couple of times but the subsequent sunsets were very different than on the night I shot this. There are some issues that don't go away even when I edited the photo quite heavily.
Now the weather outdoors is wet and almost all the snow is gone, I'm not going to keep this hanging on my computer desktop anymore hoping I might be able to improve it some day soon. I probably couldn't anyway.
I like how the engine reflection on the sea water turned out, It think it's a nice touch.

I wonder, will we see the Millennium Falcon in the first Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer? It's supposed to come out any day now.
I couldn't wait, I wanted to see her now.
