When I am sailing it can often be a bit of a problem when the seascapes are limited. On this particular day I was looking for an alternative viewpoint to capture the old rigging of the boat I was on. I experimented with a variety of focus points looking up at the mast and this one was one of my favourites.
The reflection of these masts in the water captured my attention. I searched for the best viewpoint to achieve a slightly abstract result.
This picture is for my Dad. He like this shot so much that I decided to post it on my site. I captured this on a recent sailing trip to the small fishing village of Paimpol, Côtes-d'Armor, France. I tried to use the sail of the yacht I was on to frame this ancient sailing ship called Etoile Molene.
I took this image when i very first bought my EOS 350D. I personally like the way that the light behind the rigging of the steam/sailing ship makes it in to a silhouette. The streaked lighting in the background was from a passing ferry and I think it adds motion to what otherwise would look like a very placid image.
This is my lucky image as i think this would have been relatively mediocre if it weren’t for a speedboat that went past, leaving its wake to crash against the rocks in the foreground. I also love how sharp the rocks are in contrast to the mist like sea.This image was taken on possibly the dullest sailing day of 2005. The sun projected its rays onto these high-rise flats and created a brilliant contrast against the black clouds behind. Some would argue that a wide screen crop would be more appropriate, but I like the crispness of the water in the foreground. A desktop background favourite of mine.
The reflection of the sun on the water was irresistible. I tried to capture the boat heeled over as we sailed towards the sun.
This was a shot i captured whilst sailing down Southampton waters towards the Solent. The oil refineries and tankers acted as a superb silhouette against the bright cumulonimbus clouds. I took this image through a filter and topped it off with a bit of Photoshop. The result, i believe, speaks for itself.

This is an image that i captured which incorporates the HMS Marlborough figurehead and Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower. I was looking for an alternative angle to photograph the tower along with a way of linking the Portsmouth’s naval history with the new modern appearance that it is presented through Gunwharf Quays. 
I know the Spinnaker Tower is one of the most photographed buildings in the UK but I still like this shot that I captured. There was a very convenient light behind me, which helped to illuminate the rocks in the foreground. It gives this image a staged feel. My worst enemy – the orange reflection of the streetlights on the clouds doesn’t help this image. Ah well better brush up on my Photoshop skills and republish it.
Taken with a blue filter this night shot worked well with all of the traffic streaming towards me. The picture was taken in my early photography stages but I experimented and often that is how I develop my best shots.
