This is the 3-masted tall ship Elissa built in 1877 and on display in Galveston, Texas. It was a good day to shoot this because it was a low-contrast, gray cloudy day. Shot from the dock with my beloved 70-200 f/2.8L II.

I like this a lot Joe, but I would turn up the blacks a little.

Very, very sharp, Joe. Agree with Douglas on the blacks. A little.

Thank you for your compliments.

Douglas and Kenny, thank you very much for your critique. That kind of feedback is a great help and always appreciated.

Tom, I used f/5.6, 180/s, 200 ISO, 200mm focal length, and hand held. Good luck with your rental. Will it be for work or play?

Regards,
Joe

Joe, glad you had the info. thanks.
just play, serious play of course.
I'm so used to shooting at f19 or 22 that I find 5.6 may be another world, but this is a good
chance for me to explore other worlds!
cheers, tom
