Very nice indeed!

Well done - lovely ships.
Lightning is great. I might loved a higher apperture on some (2 and 4) of them to make bigger OOF areas.

Excellent as always - I do like the detail shots.
Weather looks pretty good but I guess you did not photograph the rain

Thanks all!
Yes, Hyram, you're right, I didn't shoot in the rain (as it tends to lower the contrast too much :wink.
Nimitz, I see what you mean re. #2 and #4.
I tried that for #3 (funnily enough) by focussing on the rope in front (the light coloured diagonal one). For me that didn't work. But then, it's a completely different set up with the distance foreground - background much greater (and the distance camera - foreground as well).
Cheers,
Prieni

It's all very logical, and if it weren't, there'd be a lot more of these vessels at the bottom of the sea.

Yeah, sounds like real fun . I'm quite happy that research vessels tend to have engines...(Sailed the Atlantic in 1974 on a barquentine built for the Baltic trade.

A neighbour of mine from UK goes out on these tall ships regularly, and for fun. Not for me.Mannesty wrote:

Yes, I'm happy that on modern ships everything is so clearly arranged. Here's an example from the engine room of the latest German research vessel:The rigging in #3 looks a bit of a nightmare, not a job for the faint hearted.

But back to the tall ships. Here's another "bigger picture", shot from our bedroom window:

Well, well, Tall Ships Race, and no Norwegian ships in the series!?
Beautiful images anyway.

Hi Prieni, I was just joking of course.
Although there are three famous Norwegian tall ships, the Christian Radic, Statsraad Lehmkuhl and Sørlandet. They seem to participate in a lot of Tall Ships races...
Must try to capture at least one of them on camera soon.
