[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken from the deck on the pilot house of the M/V Mesabi Miner.. I was amazed as this huge 1000 foot boat effortlessly slid into that parking space to off load the cargo we picked up in Duluth! This shot was taken about a half hour after my Indiana Harbor lighthouse photo.

For prospective if you look about 1/2 way up the deck you can see a tiny little man walking towards me.

It's amazing how HUGE these things are and how they just drive them around like it's nothing! Really nice shot here Tricia! Love the perspective of the length of this boat!

Hi Tricia
It's certainly a huge ship. Great perspective and with good composition of the shot, excellent metering.
Well done!

Hello Tricia !

He He , I have been there a few years ago ..... ( early 80s in fact ! ) Thanks for the memories. Very interesting composition, with the ship turning to enter the canal.

Bye the way , I invite you to visit my last post. You may see a blue ship going up your way !

Cheers!

Hi Tricia,
Totally amazing and more so if you see that man on deck. Would not be my cup of tea parking like this (never is).
At first I thought it would be a Perryhooter picture...Fabulous - how you must have loved being able to stand there and make this picture - very satisfying.

Hello Tricia,

This is simply magnificient image. Specailly the geomatry of the ship is taken nicely without parablic sentiment of lense effect. Excellent shot with good sharpness. Well done my friend.

Many thanks for sharing this image.

i always like these photos with very impressive POV tricia :)
good composition here, excellent use of the lead lines :)

koh

1000 feet!!!
About parking 101, a lot of people are unable to park their Echo or Mini right even after half a dozen try....

1000 feet on the Lakes, wow!!
Like it
