p.1 #1 · Helenka B (B&W Ship)

Posted this over in the Nikon forum (D800 shots) so hopefully it's OK if it goes here as well.

Last night I headed down to the boat harbor here in Homer, Alaska, and got this shot. D800 w/24-70 G at 55mm. f/8, ISO 100, 13 sec.

I've looked at this a few times and it seems like it's off level but I can't quite decide as it might be the reflection throwing me off.

Processed in Silver Efex with somewhat heavy contrast. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very nice image, I like the reflections in the water. If you look at the masts or antennas they seem to be vertical so it is level.

Havent measured anything, but looks good by eye.
Nicely done and great reflections. I like the high contrast.
Warm winter?

the water makes the shot for me. Very cool due to the long exposure...

Very nice image. Great black and white. With these types of shots it is hard to tell if the perspective makes it off level or not. Others may give a different opinion. I ran a ruler (photoshop) up one of the masts towards the left end of the image and it showed a .6 degree clockwise rotation which I did and surprisingly it makes a difference in the image. It is minor (noticeable but minor) and you should be the judge of which way you like it.

I just plain like the result of the execution of the shot you captured here. Thanks for sharing

Thanks, Mark! I think I'll do the same in Lightroom and straighten it up!

It has been a warm winter here. Was around 35F when I took this shot. No wind either....almost like summer

Thanks for the comments everyone.
