The Ruth at Anchor

Saw this behemoth anchored far out of Studland Bay whilst passing by on the ferry trip from Poole to Swanage ..... I had the K7 fitted with the Tamron AF70-300 Di LD, luckily, as I needed all the length I could get. Even so, this is still about a 30 per cent crop in.

I was struck by the boat's positioning with the bright white cliffs from Alum Bay on the Isle of Wight far behind. There was a strong blue haze, and I have had to employ fairly heavy duty processing to cut through and grab some decent contrast and tones and pull out details (helped by the Topaz Adjust & Detail PS Plugins), as well as correct for the cast.

Many thanks for taking a look and your comments ..... Nigel

Ships seem to be "in" this evening, Nigel. The pp has certainly worked well.

Thanks Mike, no doubt you may have seen this ship as well .... I was lucky that day to get as near as I did.
