Ships

Whether this is an entirely serendipitous moment or was meticulously planned it's simply a fabulous shot. The light, composition and timing make for an impressive image but the inclusion of one of nature's rare wonders elevates it to a whole new level. I note the judicious choice of shutter speed with admiration. In my experience, around 1/60th of a second is as low as you can go in order to keep a moving ship sharp in low light.

I love the bright colours and the composition of this aerial image. The meandering boardwalk balances nicely with the ship graveyard. I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say that drones are something of a game changer for photography. It certainly is for ship photography. UAVs are a relatively cheap and easy way to get perspectives that were previously only the realm of manned flight.

This is a wonderful study of one of the most storied ships in history. The leading lines make for a nice composition but it's the raking light, softly reflecting off the hull and the muted colours that make it stand out for me. What can you say, it's just riveting!
