Thanks for your encouragement Tara and making it a fave ! The lighting was changing every second that day and I went home too early – I wish I’d stayed now and pulled the exposure down a few points on some shots. :)

This “old world treatment” works well James – it hides all the modern clutter that often get in the way of these beautiful ships – well done!♥

Mudsoldat
she looks great and they way youve treated the shot is superb reflector. MS
reflector replied
Thank you ! The lighting was problematic and looking at the back of the camera was discouraging – most exposures looked dull and flat. I went home early, only to discover that they were much better than they looked outdoors. Thanks for the fave – I’ll visit your Gallery soon.

reflector replied
I am uncharacteristically behind with my replies because I decided I’ll be on RB less from now on, to concentrate on creativity and offline things quite a bit more. Thanks ! :)
Bev Woodman
James I saw the NBN news capture of the James Craig coming through the heads and there was a huge swell, she rocked from side to side and would have been brilliant to get an image of it listing to the side and riding the swell … next time!♥
reflector replied
I didn’t know the scheduled arrival time and didn’t want to spend lots of time waiting. It sounds like quite a sight. :)
