Ken: I was so impressed by your dedication to the cause that I went down to Grain to catch her leaving. For me, that was just a 30-mile (50 km) round trip but I did manage to photograph six other ships as well!

Thanks Bob, it was worth it but as you say putting 3P on and taking 1P off does mean I will have to consider my options for the future.

Ken

It certainly is a great shot, Ken and I must admire your dedication in making what must have been a 90-mile round trip to photograph just one ship!
I am too tight-fisted to use that much petrol for one photo - even at the new, post-budget price! (lol)

It's still a great shot Ken :-)

Phil, a bit of confusion, as the ship approached and the sun was on it I was able to clear the haze from the photo, but it was quite foggy out to sea and Southend was not visible.

Superb image Ken, especially in the conditions.
Much the same here today but better than yesterday

best regards
Derek

Beautifully clear and sharp Ken considering the misty conditions. You wouldn't have thought it was foggy in the Eastuary looking at this pic.

Cheers
Phil

Many thanks Ian as always,there was a bank of fog in the estuary and it was a while before she appeared through it but the sun was shining and all was well.
They tell us that our weather is going downhill again but I hope you have some luck and see a few ships.

Kind regards
Ken

Great shots of the Seri Balqis Ken, Another lovely day there for photos hoping to get out this week myself as we have got some fine weather for the next few days as long as the ships turn up!!!

Regards
Ian
