About Taken in my 'birth town' of Weymouth on one of my reading breaks. You can catch a little row-boat ferry across the river mouth from the beach to the gardens and it's great for taking low-level shots of boats!!

Best regards to all,

Chris

Yes, these ships call be tall, can't they ..
I once tried to get once at 18mm, standing only 10m away, did not succeed .. the masts can be gigantically high !
Good shot with the cloudy sky behind !
Regards, Peter

Hi Chris, you thoughtful man. I'm flattered you noticed I haven't posted in a bit. Well, life has kept me busy and away from picture taking and also putting me behind with comments. I hope when we have finished the celebration this weekend of my Mother-In-Law's 90th birthday I'll have some time. However, as soon as my daughter calls and says our first grandchild has decided it's time to join us, I'll be gone again.
;-)))) Can't wait!

Superb angle and brilliantly composed, Chris. I wonder how you managed to get such high quality images. Did you use RAW and/or custom curve feature in your D70?

Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 8/12/2005
Yep, the original sky, John! Selecting it out from amongst all that rigging would have been pretty tricky!! )
Thanks for the comment, dear friend!
Best regards, Chris

These tall ships are so beautiful to look at. Not fair you had clouds the day you saw them and I just had overcast skies. I actual get to board one of the tall ships and go sailing on one for 4 hours. I'm hoping to be able to take some good shots out at sea of the others that will be there also.

Very nice it is too. Even with a low viewpoint, you can use portrait mode, and tilt upwards at quite an angle, provided you leave a bit of extra room at the side for later straightening. Then you can straighten up the leaning verticals and Voila! you have a VERY tall ship.

Fantastic tall ship Chris,
Love the clouds in the sky

What is it about these ships that we all
find so appealing?

Good work,
