[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The brigantine Windeward Bound sailed out of Launceston on the 19th August for a voyage south to Hobart. I missed the actual sailing unfortunately. Due to the condition of the estuary and the need to wait for the correct tides, Windwearde relocated overnight to her usual port of Beauty Point, one of several deepwater ports between Launceston and the Bass Strait. As a matter of interest, the fare for this 2 day voyage south was AU$550.

Further notes regarding this ship can be found elsewhere in my gallery.

This is the first of another series of fog shots which will be comingled with other offerings.

PP work…Adjusted horizontal and vertical perspectives, ‘smart photo fix’, removed digital noise, added frame and one step resize, all using PSP X.

If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?

La atmósfera esta muy bien presentada.
La imagen me encanta.
Felicitaciones David.

Nice photograph.

It has an old Captian Jack Sparrow feel to it. You have done well in creating a shot with mood.

Nice composition, all in all well done.

I don't know what to say anymore. Excellent, exquisite, brilliant, and all the other ones I know are becoming a cliche. Can it get any better???

splenid image!! The fog creates an interesting sense of atmosphere. The composition is exquisite and the light is just right. Excellent Work!!

Oooohhhhh aaaahhhhh nice foggy shot again David! Beautiful soft tones and I love the layout of the shot! B-)
Linda

Wow, more fog. But this photo puts all others I have seen to rest. A real voyage back in time.
Breathless.
Thank you again, David, for such beauty.
Pierre

There really is no place quite like it is there. I would qualify that as its a tourists delight especially one with a camera attatched to their paw. Hey David, ever thought of giving guided tours to tourists so they can take photos to take home and prove they were tere???? well why not, you have found some absolutely drop dead gorgeous countryside so why not advertise guided tours. hat way you only have to take them places not feed them unless you want to include that as well. Sandy, tell him its a good idea.
Diane

wow...I love this photo David! Between the fog on the river and the Sailing ship...makes it for me! perfect POV.. Great shot ! TFS
Donna :o)

Great shot David.. lovely reflections and very moody atmosphere..

That mist was a great gift! It's fantastic! I enjoy the dream mood and the ship is wonderfull! It's inviting to another time a few century before... :)

Hi Dave,
This is superb! This takes me back years to my early teenage days, reading about great naval stories of 18th and 19th century. I can almost see Captain Hornblower boarding the ship.

You do it again David. This are my favourites pictures of nice ships like this brigantine. The misty weather makes it only more interesting, so no 'technical notes' from my side. Only admiration! This is a really treasure for TL my friend! TFS.

What else to say than I do agree with the others..
Also you have inspired me to post one too David.. more or less in your honor ..Be well my friend!

Beautifully atmospheric shot. Perfect composition.

Hello David,

Beautiful visual, looking with plenty attention
I see those old paintings, with their fogs
their details of the artists' brushstrokes.
great composition, I adored!
Congratulations

Hello David.
This last days I have been in Myanmar and in the Inle Lake I remembered your fog pictures because early in the morning the surface of the lake was covered with a thin layer or fog. The morning light and the fog created an irreal atmosfere over the quiet surface of the water.
Here you show us another excellent picture with great depth and great colours, and an incredible light.
Well done!
Regards.
Jacobo

Hello David, I am lnked trough via John's

Rob

Dear David,
WOW!!! This is truly a great capture, nice mood, composition and soft colors!
Bravo!!
Vassilis

hi David,
this is really cool! The soft mist gives the image a very nice charm and plenty of character! It looks very much like something the Royal Society of Marine Artists would like!

Well done and best regards, Daniel

Hello David,
the mist and the light create a wonderful mood. This is a timeless beauty, one does not know what to expect when the fog lifts. Do motor yachts pass by or does the pirate crew return to the ship. Very nice composition.

Hi David,

Good shot. Nice dreamy mood and well composed.

Well done David

Hi David
I personally think this is one your best landscapes I've seen yet.
The colours aren't intense and I like it.
Good presentation. The blueness makes it look a bit like a film scene.
Perfect done picture. TFS

Fantastic shot David. It doesn't get much better than this. It could easily be a painting. Such soft moody light. What else to say? Kudos!

Hi David,

I went to Port Hardy a while back and this shot reminds me of the little harbour area they had! They had these touristy pirate ships that would take students on a week long cruise, showing them the ropes and what not. I didn't attend it but it looked like fun, but as we 'main landers' say it looked like a bunch of the Island hippies went on the cruise. :P

I love this image, quite eerie. And the way the sky alters in it's colours, well that's to put it lightly, superb! Everything is just so calm, and ah just alluring. Very well done!

Biance.
