Some nice shots steve, it's good to hear from you.

I really like the first 4 shots, all of them are good but these ones really appeal to me.

The almost B&W one of them going away really grabbed my attention, and the color in the sunset and the blue sky shots really jumps out...

There's something special about seeing these ships at see, especially when it's a bit on the rough side or they're in formation. Thanks Steve - nice shots, although the wide-angle distortion is a bit too much in a couple of them

Nice ones Steve - would that be a pic of Westralia and Success in the second photo

Steve love the shot of the two ships steaming side by side. Making a transfer presumably?

love a sunrise or sunset......... good series of shots........

Thanks for the comments all. This year I am trying to create some images more interesting than just 'ships at sea.' I am also playing with filters, as you will be able to see in the images.

Chris - Spot on Chris, but i would expect you to get them right

Oneputt - yes, they were transferring fuel. It is unusual for those two ships to do what they are doing as they are both 'Replenishment' ships. Normally they replenish other ships, not themselves

Sheepie - I am aiming for wide-angle distortion in some images. I am practising my WA techniques for some ideas i have for when i get the opportunity. First i need to see how WA looks in a range of situations. So far, it's brilliant for Landscapes (obviously!!)

Steve - I always enjoy viewing your shots.
I think the group one inside the cabin would be a great marketing image except the woman on the far right looks like she's just done, or about to let one rip

Beautiful work Steve. Can't believe they pay you to waltz around the islands. What a life.

Nice shots Steve . I love the colour in the first one .The shot of the guy with the binoculars looks good too .Has a "Sign up and see the world" feel to it .

Cool to see the Success in there .I worked on that when they were building it at Cockatoo Island.
