Syncopation

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brook Atkinson- 1951

    I enjoy this one. Has me wondering about the boats and whether the one is his. Like the scale of the shot.

    Thanks for the comments. I saw him walking around the deck of the bigger boat and then climb down to leave it. Fortunately he walked away to the right. I took 4 or 5 shots as he walked in front of the other boat hoping to get him mid-stride - for once it worked.

    OH I love this.
    You had me at high contrast.

    I also really like how tiny he looks compared to the ships. I would have never realized the size of these beasts if not for the little man.

    Could you tell a beginner how this was done? In generalities, what process did you use, during and after. I think this photo is amazing!

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Very nice one. I wonder what it might look like with the top third burned in just a touch.
