nice .... the backround makes the shot is little 'busy' , but couldn't be avoided...
really like the contrast between the mast and the sky........

Little busy...

I would think with all that rigging, it would be busy without the buildings. Nicely done Ivan. JIM

Interesting ship.
A side / oblique on view would be cool.

MrEspie · 07-02-2009, 11:04 AM

I love that rigging against that sky, it just seems to fit. The ship itself against the city is rather interesting - a mix of worlds in a sense. I like it.

Great image - looked around for Bligh, but he must be below.

Nice shot, even with the background cluttered up again. Unfortunately, they seldom consider photographer's needs when placing ships like this. LOL

Right!

Ivan, the the B&H summer edition is out, all you need is a 80 x 100 backdrop.

The clutter of the city does contrast with the clutter of the rigging against the sky. I rather like the tall photo.

I like it. I like how the masts and ropes are mimicked by the clouds overhead. Nice shot!

Maybe this one is a better view from a distance

I like both shots, I have tried and shot tall ships and never did get an image that I really liked. Unless one can shoot them on open water they always seem to look cluttered.

fadzil karim · 07-03-2009, 08:46 AM

interesting and nicely captured. 2nd one is good but watch out for the horizon

sawtooth235 · 07-03-2009, 09:28 AM

Cupic, I like the old versus new contrast very much in this shot, and the wide view is even more striking of a old being overwhelmed by the new mood. The only decent one I ever got of a tall ship was this training schooner on the Savannah River.
