An exceptional POV indeed, it was worth getting permission to shoot from the grain tower - and worth the 12-story slog up all those steps!

Thanks for the tip, too - I've lain in frost before to get a good POV so I agree, it's worth it sometimes.

Hey Robert
My 1st take is..OH BOY that ship is in trouble... then OH my how huge they are compared to the tugs... Nice.. I have heard about this stranded cargo ship a few times.. It is so nice to see it! brrrr looks very cold..

12 story hike then the gym?


Tricia

Just heard from Tom.. his sister ship the Paul Tregurtha (who also has a Discovery Channel film crew on board! LOL) has a 50 foot rip in its hull due to the nasty ice and the Barker has a rip as well....

Hallo Robert,
interessanter Schuss. Ich hoffe es ist alles gut gegangen...Wenn so ein Gigant außer Kontrolle gerät gibt es eine Katastrophe.
Eine gute Komposition Robert.TFS.

Gruß,
Chris

Hi Robert,
Nice work and well worth the 12 stories of stairs, thats easy to say sitting here LOL, I looked at the link to the MSC ships and see that they have removed the Napoli already LOL, I am glad that this on isn't going to suffer the same fate, anyway great work and thanks for the webcam link.
Regards Andy

P.S if your interested the stern section of the Napoli should be cut up and removed by November.

Hello Robert,

A magnificient transaction is seen in this beautifully captured image. Huge ships are marvellous and once cannot imagine the size if the reference is not given like small ships or the containers loaded on them. A wonderful image my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

hi Perry

Yout boat shots have become a classic style here on TL and this one is a great shot. Yes, the high andle gives a clear view way behind and beyond the 2 ships.

Good work.

tfs, bill

I like the comparisons of the different scales of ships most. The iceflows has different scales too. Fun photo. TFS. K2

Hi Robert,

What a story and what a point of view! I already thought that the unloading tower No.3 was already quite high. But as it seems you're even higher. I might get a slight fear of heights being so high up there. Well, depends on the size of the platform up there ;-). Nice one!

Enjoy your weekend!

Bonsoir Robert
Voilà une excellente photo des deux "sisters ships" et un point de vue privilégié. Les détails sont très nets malgré le contrejour. Au moment où je suis allé observer les manoeuvres, il n'y avait que deux grues du Jasmine en opération et je trouvais que ces manoeuvres de transbordement étaient très lentes. Ils en auront pour plusieurs jours. Je sens qu'il y aura un léger retard dans la livraison.
Bravo et merci pour ce partage

Thanks for the link, Robert!
It's great to be able to follow all the action!
I like this PoV. It really shows the great difference in sizes between the stricken ship and the rescue/guide vessels. Also very clear to see how low in the water the stricken ship is compared to Jasmine who has come to take some of the load off her.
Enjoy your weekend!

Hello Robert.
Very good POV and composition and good photojournalism. I also like the sense of scale gave by the smaller ship on the first plan.

Salut Robert,
Merci de partager cette image . Il y a de l'action à Trois Rivières, j'en avais entendu parler il y a quelques temps au journal télévisé . L'escalade de la tour à grain en a valu le prix . De cet angle la vue est plus complète sur l'activité en cours . Je continue de jeter un oeil sur la webcam .
Beau travail .

Hi Robert - this is a great photojournalistic shot and what really catched my eye here is the scale effect...that wee boat in the forground really does emphasis how big some of these container vessels can be.

Very interesting shot indeed and a good note with some great advice at the end :-)

Très bien vu ici la façon de présenter ce monstre, avec le petit bateau à côté, qui nous donne une très bonne échelle de grandeur. Impressionnant! Ça doit pas être évident à déloger ce genre de vaisseau! Bien fait malgré une lumière qui semblait un peu défaillante.
