Tobermory shipwreck

Peter Hill, 8 months ago

I am sure it will indeed make you proud on RB, Peter. It is near to perfect. Opportunistic (duck), and texture and composition combine for an awesome photograph. Thank you for sharing it

DawsonImages, 8 months ago

Nice work, I like the duck against the rotting hull, nice sense of scale and contrast

Peter Zentjens, 8 months ago

Thanks guys!

Rosalie Dale IPA, 8 months ago

Peter this is just magic – apart from the fact that Tobermory was my very most favouritist Womble!!!

Peter Zentjens in reply to Rosalie Dale IPA’s comment, 8 months ago

Hi Rosalie, thank you for you very nice comment.

Travis Easton, 8 months ago

This works on so many levels, the gnarly boat and shrubs, the rocks, the duck, awesome

Peter Zentjens in reply to Travis Easton’s comment, 8 months ago

And thanks again. I couldn’t agree more. ;)

thanks!

Kathryn Potempski, 8 months ago

What an amazing photo Peter so clear you could almost put your hand in and have a drink of water.

Peter Zentjens in reply to Kathryn Potempski’s comment, 8 months ago

Thank you Kathryn. The clear clear water is a big help to see some of the wrecks if you don’t want to dive like me. ;)

Kathryn Potempski, 8 months ago

I know what you mean Peter my diving days are long gone !

Peter Zentjens in reply to Kathryn Potempski’s comment, 8 months ago

Well, I never had any diving days really. Just took one damn long unplanned dive once, without any gear and decided to keep my head above the water since then, except for the occasional “plunge”.

KatB, 8 months ago

This is beautiful! I can only wish for opportunities to take photos like this where I am.

Peter Zentjens in reply to KatB’s comment, 8 months ago

There’s hidden beauty everywhere KatB. But traveling does help. ;)

Thanks jaffa, for both your comments

Charlie, 7 months ago

Fantastic image Peter. I used to dive out of Tobermory….grew up in Michigan on the Great Lakes..dove in all the cold water up there. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Tobermory is truly a wreck divers’ paradise! You have a wonderful portfolio!

Mike Finley, 7 months ago

Its a great image, and the duck is well placed. I’m not srprised it does well!

IslandImages, 7 months ago

wonderful image!

Peter Zentjens in reply to Mike Finley’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks Mike, that duck made it very important to be very fast getting the camera ready and lined up for the shot before it disappeared behind the wreck.

Peter Zentjens in reply to IslandImages’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks very much Islandimages

qarrie, 7 months ago

amazing

Peter Zentjens in reply to qarrie’s comment, 7 months ago

Thank you Garrie

Peter Zentjens in reply to qarrie’s comment, 7 months ago

Typo alert, that should be thank you qarrie. ;)

berndt2, 7 months ago

Outstanding shot – so many people would walk past such a thing and still others would take a quick happy-snap, but with the composition and colours (love how the water ‘melts’ into the sky in the background) you’ve used it’s really been done justice to.

Peter Zentjens in reply to berndt2’s comment, 7 months ago

Wow, thank you berndt2, this really is a big compliment which makes me feel even prouder of my achievement.
It’s often so, I find, that when the light isn’t really working for you, you start to put more energy in your shots. Light of course is a personal preference and I like tho shoot with bright sunlight and blue skies, a condition many photographers hate. So this fogy gray situation wasn’t really my thing and when I saw that wreck and wanted to shoot it anyway I started to look for a good composition to do it justice, as you say. And then of course came that duck and all of a sudden I had to rush. ;)
Cheers for another great comment.

Catherine Davis, 7 months ago

Gorgeous, I love it. Beautiful composition and mood.

Peter Zentjens in reply to Catherine Davis’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks Catherine, glad you like it.

Ciaran O'Hagan, 7 months ago

nice pic…feels a bit lonely for the sunken boat…great capture

Peter Zentjens in reply to Ciaran O'Hagan’s comment, 7 months ago

Don’t feel sad Ciaran! Actually it was pretty crowded in the water, I was lucky the divers hadn’t advanced to this part of the wreck yet! ;)

Erial, 7 months ago

Great shot. Perfect angle.

Peter Zentjens in reply to Erial’s comment, 7 months ago

Thank you Erial.

Matt Halls, 7 months ago

Peter Zentjens in reply to Matt Halls’s comment, 7 months ago

And thank you, again, your interest in my work is greatly appreciated.

Jan Piller, 7 months ago

Beautiful shot!! (gee maybe it’s a little piece of the Edmund Fitzgerald!)

Peter Zentjens in reply to Jan Piller’s comment, 7 months ago

The name doesn’ t ring a bell I’m sorry to say, so can’t help you there. ;)
Cheers for the comment Jan.

Jan Piller, 7 months ago

A ship that sunk not far from where you took the shot – you can read about it here – a scary night indeed for all those ship workers.
http://www.ssefo.com/
Gordon Lightfoot wrote and performed one of the worlds most beautiful songs about it. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Peter Zentjens, 7 months ago

Aha, thanks for the info Jan.

Larry149, 7 months ago

Beautiful texture / colour plus duck! Nice how it fades away to no horizon . . . that sense of the ‘infinite lake’.

Basia McAuley, 7 months ago

Love the composition. The clarity, angle, texture and that duck work beautifully. It’s such a beautiful and lonely image, well done and thank you for checking out my work also!

Peter Zentjens in reply to Basia McAuley’s comment, 7 months ago

And thank you for your insightful comment Basia. Checking out your work was my pleasure.

wellman, 7 months ago

stunning work here Peter. For me its the exceptional clarity of the wreck and foreground along with the motion introduced by the accommodating duck!

Peter Zentjens in reply to wellman’s comment, 7 months ago

Thanks Wellman and thanks for explaining why you like it. Cheers

Graham McKenzi..., 7 months ago

Not sure I can add to the above comments. Beautifully serene image, and the duck is a great bonus!

Peter Zentjens in reply to Graham McKenzie-Smith’s comment, 7 months ago

Thank you very much Graham. I think serene and quite is an apt description for one of the grate lakes in fog. I’m happy you think I managed to capture that.

Cliff Vestergaard, 7 months ago

Kudos to you, friend. That’s a really great shot, and I don’t say that often.

heathernicole00, 5 months ago

Very nice

mkdubose, 5 months ago

I love how I can see the rocks so clearly through the reflection of the boat up front. The textures and angles, and the balance these create in combination with the duck. This is a very nice shot. It begs to be studied in detail, and the pipe on top of the boat makes me think of a telescope for viewing what lies ahead. Peace

Gregoryno6, 5 months ago

Just spotted this on the homepage and for a moment I thought it was a science-fiction illustration of – what? a derelict spaceship hanging in the sky. The duck broke the illusion; damn ducks…

Andromedae, 5 months ago

Great image to see on a homepage! I saw this image when I first started browsing Redbubble back in February, and I thought, WOW, the clarity of this picture is absolutely amazing! It is so great, so recognisable. Later I saw it printed as a card. Beautiful work!

Peter Zentjens, 4 months ago

To all of you:
I’ve been trying to say thank you to each and every one personally but I’m loosing here. I have the feeling I’m a little behind at the moment and I’m so busy replying that I don’t get around to exploring new work here on RB. So, instead of each one personally, here is a big, big thank you to all of you who have commented on this cherished image.

wwROBERTLFOXcom, 4 months ago

How long did you have to wait for the duck to go by?

Peter Zentjens in reply to wwROBERTLFOXcom’s comment, 4 months ago

I didn’t have to wait, I had to hurry to get the picture before it was out of the image! I saw the ducking gliding towards the wreck when this image formed in my head, after that: hurry hurry hurry

Helen Bascom, 4 months ago

I can’t remember if I commented on this already, but even if I did, it certainly deserves another comment. This is a beautiful photograph.

SueAnne, 4 months ago

This really is one of my all time favorites, so simple, but has so many different textures, depth and color.

Peter Zentjens in reply to SueAnne’s comment, 4 months ago

It’s funny actually. I spent hours in studios, but this unplanned for “quick grab the camera” shot, this moment in time, became my most popular image ever. I’ll end up having to agree with Henri Cartier-Bresson

Nancy Vice, 4 months ago

its just a perfect shot!! I like old ships especially when they’re wrecked!
