Calm down Kenny. I promise you that the next set of photos depicting CP PRIDE will feature the checkerboard logo. All CP ships will be renamed and the new (or old!) logo fitted before mid-September so I was told...

This photo is really attracting a lot of attention which I find most peculiar but VERY interesting...

Peculiar? That I find very interesting, because why everyone should like ultra closed-up photos? If I understood right which you meant is weird. It´s just like listenic music (an example), people has different style of opinions. :-)

Well, haven´t seen yet any other photos with so much comments while I´ve been a member here. :-D

I find it interesting that a photo should attract some attention. Most of the photos uploaded here disappear into anonymity a day after they were posted so a flurry of comments certainly denote interest. This is what this site is all about, right?

Most Inetresting to say the least, I have taken photos like that and never heard criticism from anyone, it saddens me. I will wait for the checker board to return, there is a logo that we have not seen for awhile. Great photo, by the way.

Cracking shot Marc. What camera/lens were you using? Is it image stabilised?

Edit
comment

I use a Canon 300D reflex with two zoom lenses, a 18 to 60mm mini and a 90-300mm long lens. With the 1 to 1.6 ratio offered to D-SLRs, the long lens can offer up to 480mm focal lenght which is very handy in photographing tugs or more distant subjects in good clear light. As the view finder is much smaller than the ones on 35mm SLRs, the eye has to get used to the diminutive target area. Both camera and lens are on the heavy side so aiming properly is of the utmost importance. I use a shutter speed which is around 1/400 to 1/500th of a second given to me on the automatic mode set at 100ASA so there is no image stabilizer. Mostly 35 years of experience in ship photography with 35mm cameras and a good eye allow me to produce high quality material.

Excellent shot Marc. Wonderful.

Sorry, although the photo is very sharp and Marc is - probably - the best photographer on this whole place here, I can´t see no idea with these ultra-mega zoomed shots. They look so stupid.

Each to their own view, but I couldn't disagree more. The visual impact of such images is outstanding. With virtually the whole frame filled by the vessel, there is nothing else in the picture to distract one's attention from the subject matter. Side on or semi-angled shots are OK, but can have too much background clutter, sea and sky!

Unless you can get really up close to ships in absolute perfect uncluttered surroundings, I would recommend an ultra-zoom camera/lens to anyone.

Thanks for accolade of me being one of the top photographers on this site, a very rewarding comment indeed as I do work hard to find the best locations, angles and light quality. My views are usually taken from the standard angles but sometimes, I like to surprise viewers with unusual frames such as this one where light is a predominant factor and details shoot out vividly. I find that these photos particularly appeal more to the layman who is more attracted to photography as an art form than to standard ship portraits.

Regards,

Marc

I understand all of your opinions. As Phil said that the subject fills the whole photo, it´s of course good for attracting the attention. My humble opinion about this kind of zoomed shots is just different. As I like to see the whole vessel and how the ship looks, it´s of course for me more pleasant to see the "standard" angled shots than these totally zoomed ones. They namely show only one view of the ship. For that kind of photos I prefer then only totally detailed photos, for example a close-up of the names of the vessel or her superstucture.

@Marc: As you wrote below, your experience of shipphotographty for 35 years really have made you one of the famous shipphotographer in Canada and also in other countries, and you really make very good work with your photos. It´s more than great that you also are here for sharing your excellent photos for shiplovers everywhere. 8-)

Stupid look? Errr... I'm sure what Marc wanted to do here was just to get a real good shot of the name. All that fleet is presently getting a name change. I'm guessing it was to show us the repainting of the name

I'm pretty proud of it myself as I didn't have a tripod to put the camera on. Just steady your aim, hold your breath and shoot like with a rifle.
