Last weekend we had a Tall Ship (STAVROS S NIARCHOS) visit Blyth. Took some pictures, which I thought I'd share.

All with the K3. First with the 560mm, next 3 with the 18-135mm, and the last one 3 images stitched from the 12-24mm. Any feedback welcome.

Great set of pictures, 3 & 4 being my favourites.

Love the wind turbine in number 4, it gives a real sense of scale. A lot of people seem to really hate them but I think they are really quite interesting to look at.

Very nice set. 4 is fascinating, really makes a statement and gorgeous light to boot.

All are amazing but the first one is very special. Almost surreal yet natural. Peaceful and beautiful. Amazing job on all

Three is the obvious one to like Alan but I like the first too. Thanks for sharing.

Very strong set... Particularly like the misty timelessness of 1 (nicely juxtaposed with modern super nimble yacht), and the strong lines and colours of 5... 4 is great - quite incongruous, almost surreal...

Best

All excellent but number 1 for me. What a fantastic looking ship!

Thanks for the feedback folks. Much appreciated. The 1st one is my favourite. Looks like a pencil drawing to me.

Think there used to be 6 turbines on the pier, and they have been replaced by a single massive one. Towering above the tall ship gives an idea of how massive

Impressive work. My favourite is number 4, the contrast between sailboat and wind turbines and industrial buildings is striking.
