Sail on by

This weekend I did something very very silly….
I took my new camera on a jet ski in a plastic container (i.e not waterproof housing) and got some snaps of Port Phillip Bay. We only nearly fell of the jet ski, hmmm…. repeatedly. I hope it was worth it!

Thanks to my Jetski driver and all round relaxing company James

Paul Vanzella, 8 months ago

this has a really amazing style to it… the longer I look the more i like it… what appeals to me is the way the shadows and highlights have been controlled… cool work Jo… and perfect horizontal axis too!

I only just saw the ocean for the first time last year. I think that had my view been this nice the sunburn would have been worth it.
Its a lovely shot, and so clear…especially considering that you weren’t on solid ground. Well done.

Wow, it almost makes me sea sick looking at it, you captured the waves so crystal clear
Jack McCabe, 5 days ago

I suspect your plastic container resulted in this muted filter effect.
The end product is quite compelling in that it reminds me of 19th century oil paintings I see so often in New England of sailboats on the sea like this one.

He’s my award!

I dig it!
