Sunset on Ship's Rigging
THE SUBJECT:
The golden light from a late afternoon sunset washes over the blocks and tackle in the rigging of the 100yo topsail schooner, the Alma Doepel.
2009: Sadly the owners have sent her to Melbourne and we may never see her in Port again.
THE LOCATION:
She is moored at the Lady Nelson Wharf on the south bank of the Hastings River in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia.
THE MAKING OF ‘Sunset on Ship’s Rigging’:
I was anging around the area waiting for sunset and decided to kill some time on the wharf. It was then that I noticed the great light effect on the ship’s rigging.

G’day Dennis,
You’ve certainly found the right light for this. Absolutely brilliant colours and contrasts. I love the warm, matured low-lighted parts with the subtle blues behing.
Excellent work, mate.

Hi Dennis,
The light and colour is great in this shot.
I never thought I would hear myself this, but I like how you have exposed your tackle. LOL
Nice one.
