I view these pics with interest as a fellow sea-going sailor. It's nice to see images from the 'other side.'

I like both of your images. The first one shows just how long the ship is and holds quite a lot of interest. The second one shows how a large barge? is tiny against the enormous loading facility. Your composition is excellent. THe second image could perhaps do with a minor white balance adjustment as the colour from the harbour lights is just a bit too orange for me.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
Steve.

Great shots that really capture a mood and feeling. Felt like I was there. Top stuff!

Canon 20D and a bunch of lovely L glass and a 580EX. Benro tripod. Manfrotto monopod. Lowepro and Crumpler bags. And a pair of Sigma teleconverters, and some Kenko tubes.

Great shots, perfect exposure and interesting subject matter!. Sorry to hear about your stolen D70, but the upgrade even if not noticable is nice (less clicks on shutter :) )
