Queen Mary 2 – Full Frontal
Which is not the name of a film. This was Queen Mary 2 leaving Southampton for a cruise, to hopefully somewhere warmer.
Hoegh Osaka
Sounds like it should translate as “beached whale”, which would be appropriate. This was been beached on a sandbank in the Solent after it started to list. Salvage experts had hoped to move it today, but have had to abandon the task. The Bramble Bank where it currently is appears once or twice a year at very low tides. When this happens, there tends to be a game of cricket played.
More Sailing – The Fastnet
The Fastnet is a race from Cowes on the Isle of Wight to the Fastnet Rock, which is south of Ireland, then back to Plymouth. It’s a bit insane! I would have liked to have gone over to Cowes to get some shots, but it’s getting more expensive to go on the ferry, so I want to Lepe Country Park on the mainland instead. There’s a fabulous spit which people stand on which added to the pictures. I did find I’d generally underexposed my pictures. I should have added some +ve exposure compensation. as I was shooting in Speed priority mode.
The full set can be found here.
Cowes – Panorama
While I was on the ferry going into Cowes for ‘Cowes Week’, I rattled off three shots that I thought I might be able to create a panorama out of in Elements. This almost worked, but finishes a bit abruptly on the left. I wasn’t quite in the perfect position on the ferry…. maybe next year!
