HMS Warrior is a nineteenth century ironclad. She’s a beautiful vessel moored permanently within the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth. I pass her every day on the way into work and she never fails to give me a little lift. When I was coming home and the sunset was looking so gorgeous, I couldn’t resist missing my ferry home for this shot!

Aharrrrr! Jim-kitty! Here is the noble Pirate Cat, his legs taken from him by a particularly vicious pike off the Isle of Dogs, he sails on, with his trusty squid Archibald. Unbeknownst to Pirate Cat, Archibald isn’t so much a trusty squid as a squid with some of its legs caught in his ship’s rudder, but over time he has grown fond of Pirate Cat and secretly quite enjoys travelling with him.

When it comes to military aviation photography, shots like these are just “it” as far as I’m concerned. Look at that vapor around the trail edge of the wing, is that not awesome?

This is an older image that I have been meaning to post. It was taken in 2006 during the airshow at Naval Air Station Oceana (Master Jet Base). Just several weeks later the F-14D Tomcat’s performed their last flight, as they were retired and scrapped. Planes shown in this image are from Strike Fighter Squadron VF-31, also known as the Tomcatters. (Based on Nimitz-Class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt – CVN71).

Image captured during the Open House at the Navy Dare Bombing Range near Wanchese, NC. The entire day was simply incredible, the best birthday I ever had. The F/A-18 pilots where bombing targets near a mock Iraqi City. Since they had an Open House, the tower would request that if the pilots had a little fuel to spare, if they wouldn’t mind to do a couple of extra passes for the spectators. Some of them literally put on a private airshow for us. It was awesome! Added little bonus in this shot is the commercial aircraft at high altitude visible near the 3 sensors (right side of the image).

Constellation bears the same name as the famous frigate launched in 1797, which was broken up at the same time the sloop-of-war was being built. Before the Civil War, Constellation served as Flag Ship of the U.S. Africa Squadron patrolling the waters off of West Africa in search of ships carrying human cargo. She captured three slavers including the barque Cora and freed 705 Africans destined for slavery. At the outbreak of the Civil War, she made the first Union Navy capture at sea, overpowering Triton, a slaver brig sailing in coastal waters off Africa. She then spent two years on the Mediterranean station protecting American shipping from Confederate commerce raiders. In 1864, Constellation reported for duty with Farragut’s West Gulf Blockading Squadron. After the Union was restored, the sloop-of-war saw service as a practice ship for midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy, earning the nickname “Cradle of Admirals” as so many future high ranking naval officers trained aboard her during annual summer cruises. During this period the ship’s special duties included carrying precious American works of art to the Paris Exposition in 1878 and carrying famine relief stores to Ireland in 1880. From 1894 to 1933, Constellation served as a stationary training ship at the United States Naval Training Station, Newport, Rhode Island. During World War II, she served as relief flagship for the Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet. USS Constellation is the last Civil War era naval vessel still afloat and the last all sail warship built by the U.S. Navy. Since 1955, the ship has been preserved as a museum in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. A nine million dollar restoration project, completed in 1999, returned the ship’s exterior to its 1860s configuration. Now, with all four decks open for exploration, visitors can enjoy a completely restored captain’s cabin, sick bay, and wardroom in addition to engaging in hands-on demonstrations that take them back in time to a life at sea during the Civil War.

In the central quadrangle of Wren’s Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich stands a statue of George II by John Michael Ruysbrack. Carved in stone, this swaggering composition includes an orb and sceptre, a magnificently flowing robe and a convenient classical semi-column for the king to lean on. Given the good ol’ HDR treatment.

Captain on the bridge ….. It’s called many names – “Victory At Sea”, “Naval Strategy”, etc – but when we were little we used to call it “Battleships” and play it on square-grid paper. This shot has a distinct macro feel to it, but it was shot in February 2009 with my favourite lens – a Sigma 18-125mm. It was shot indoors, with a focal length of 125mm. A true macro lens would have picked out the details on the bridge of each respective vessel, especially the aircraft carrier. But it’s always possible to shoot macro without a strictly macro lens.
