Rest to Rust

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Being on the tallest sand island in the world - Fraser Island.
Unfortunatly we could only go by a guided daytrip with many to short stops. One highlight is the shown shiipwreck on 75mile beach.
[...S.S. Maheno. The S.S. Maheno was originally built in 1905[citation needed] in Scotland as a luxury passenger ship for trans-Tasman crossings. During the First World War the ship served as a hospital ship in the Mediterranean, Gallipoli, and the English Channel, before returning to a luxury liner. In 1935, the ship was declared outdated and on June 25, 1935 the ship was being towed from Melbourne to Japan for scrap metal when it was caught in a strong cyclone. A few days later, on July 9 1935 she drifted ashore and was beached on Fraser Island. During the Second World War the Maheno served as target bombing practice for the RAAF. The ship has since become severely rusted.[ (Wikipedia)
Tech talk
Because there is a big sign just in front of the wreck I had to do some decent PP here to get rid of that nasty 'Do not climb'-sign.
I decided to have another B/W picture here. I thought it would fit better the content and mood.
After a bit cropping to get a small, nearly panoramic size I desaturated and shifted the contrast to fullfill me needs ;)
It was important for me to have a bit of dramatic sky on the top to have some conterpart for the dark ship. On the other side I wanted so very light aresa (to the left) to get a good deal of depth.
Hope it works 4u, too :) |
