One of our Collins Class submarines at anchor in Jervis Bay.

D2h + 80-200mm F2.8 - Using grad-tobacco filter on top and grad-blue on bottom both held by hand in front of the lens. (Was going to do an IR as well but ran out of time. Maybe next time.)

If it isn't sinking why is everyone outside getting ready to leave?

They're not, they are lining up to get below deck, it goes in order of rank, the most junior member is at the end of the line... :shock:

If they don't sink they are in a lot of trouble :D

Apart from early teething problems they are now a very efficient war machine. In exercises, the US navy has limiteds their operational description so they cannot "sink" too many US warships.

They have a few aircraft carrier scalps on their masts already. Very embarrassing for the most powerful navy in the world to lose a fleet flagships to a bargain basement, diesel powered, noisy, antique.

 btw,
in terms of critique, I like the graduated filter effect.

you could have improved this if you could have shot from a slightly higher level. this would have allowed for a better seperation between the sub and the land. not to mention showing the masts better.

The only reason that happened was because the Americans sonar reported the noise to be a pod of copulating whales - good decoy manufacturing antiques :lol:

Thanks all for the comments.

Firstly, NO, it's NOT sinking. :) Our Subs don't sink, they dive.

As Dug said, the Collins Class is now a very capable war machine since the bugs have been sorted out with the noise and fire control issues of the early days.

Steve (Avkomp) - I couldn't get any higher as i was on 04 deck of my ship already. Next step up would be a helicopter :) (Or a ladder)

Dug - I am a photographer, not a terrorist. :) (Onyx has a t-shirt with that comment written on it.) BTW, i am an ex-submariner too, but on the old Oberon boats.
Steve.

Nice shot under the circumstances... thinking that they are probably just stuck in the mud and working out how to get out??? Or maybe drawing straws on who is taking the crows nest position before they dive???

I like the shot, and intersting use of two filters.

I have to admit when I read tobacco filter, I was wondering.. I thougth for a second you where using the tranparent wrapper of a pack of ciggies as a filter... then I realise I was stupid.
