Kayaking in the harbor pays off!
On this trip I tried very hard to get some variety in my focal lengths. I confess that due to sheer physical exhaustion by the time I landed and took my camera/tripod out, I was a bit too wrung out to get creative in how high or low I shot things. :rolleyes
Also, the ship being half-submerged (tilted) made for some very, very crooked horizons, which I tried to compensate for in PP. Did it work?
Feedback encouraged, particularly WRT the conversion process. This location just screamed 'greyscale' to me!
The way home:
This place reminded me of the Berlitz commercial where the German guy was learning to take emergency calls in English:

Man, these are fantastic schmoo! Some time you will have to come up and check out our boat graveyard on Staten Island. I've never actually been on the ship- was that authorized, or is it a sort of "infiltration" thing?
It calls to you.... yeeeesssssss......
If you are up in NYC, let me know.

Justiceiro - I love that boat graveyard! I've never been there, though. I think I recently (as in the past week) posted a comment in your gallery about it. And that was a total coincidence. You are definitely on the top of my list to meet up with when I'm up that way. Which is hopefully soon, even though the summer is winding down and I'm still so busy...
Awais you flatter me! I am always so inspired with your shots.
Saurora I had my husband and a friend with me - and we really did need all hands available at times. I would never recommend making the trek alone as it was about 6 miles of paddling in all (and I'm not terribly buff.):D As I was leaving I capsized my boat, too. Thankfully my camera was already packed away in a dry bag, but my boots are still in the process of drying out.
