Hi Chris,

Many thanks for the comment, yes you are right the pylons can be a nuisance as can chimneys and cranes but they are avoidable, in this particular shot as they are clear of the ship they are not too much of a problem, also if it is misty then they tend to blend in and are not so noticeable.

A certain amount of care needs to be taken to overcome these background objects but it can be achieved.

You are correct with the camera settings.

Kind regards
Ken

Nice shot Ken

Those pylons must be a real irritation, like the wind farms at Rotterdam.

Always loved these mild telephoto shots I presume 135 to 180mm with 35 mm.
