Come Sail your Ships around me....
I have a little fascination going on that is keeping me occupied. The channel delineators in the bay at Port Melbourne. They’re very hard to detect in the day time, but, at night there is an extravagant yet subtle light show that goes on. I managed to catch the lights for a second or two….:D

You’ve done it again Melody. Eerie and haunting.. it that rain being driven past this ship?
Paul Louis Vil...
Beautiful work Melody! Love the depth and the strength of this image!
Lucan Industri...
My word, almost composite looking in it’s surrealism.
James Pierce
Oh my, this is so good it hurts !
Robert Knapman
This is pretty amazing Melody – the way the drama is strongly related to the distance and the ‘approach’ is its strength and power to me. Fan bloody tastic.
Michael Douglass
yes and a great song title, you should enter it in the music comp.
Paul Vanzella
Beautiful work – there is a crispness here that’s intriguing. Love it Melody!
Tony Middleton
well done Melody – it is surprising at night how many there are isn’t it ! :)

Very very beautifully caught!! Would have been tricky eh!! When I first opened this I wanted to say something ;) Sorry, can’t help myself, sometimes I think I am too cheeky for my own good Melody ;)
Houston …. we have a problem! :P
Melody
Craig, there is no such thing as “Too cheeky”...What were you going to say? And thank you:)
Melody
Rick, thank you. I dont think its rain, More like mist being caught in the light, I think. It was FREEZING down there last night!!!
Melody
Thank you Paul:)
Melody

Wonderful as always. Love the ghostly glow of the ship and it’s a fantastic title.

i am loving this new style you are exploring in your images….. it’s a lot darker and more menacing than your earlier stuff…..which was also brilliant…..but this is superb!
Craig Shillington
HEHEHEHE I said it already ;) Houston …. We have a Problem! :P
Lindsay Blamey
Awesome Shot!! Can’t stop looking at it!!
Stephen Kaak
Truly a lovely shot Melody.
If I may make a suggestion, try a higher aperture maybe f22 or more. This will star the lights more than flare them and secondly allow you to slow the shot down catching more lights. Perhaps something to experiment with if you haven’t already.
Great shot,

Melinda Kerr
Man I have taken so many of this lighthouse and they are NUTHIN like this. This is quite simply brilliant.
Peter Hall
Lovely shot!! Just to answer the fellow below, it’s not rain, but smoke from the ship’s funnel.
