Tall Ship Gloria visits Tacoma

  • Media owner BobH

The Colombian tall ship Gloria, crewed by third-year Colombian naval cadets.

Gloria visited Tacoma, WA in the summer of 2008, but not during the Tall Ships event, it was about a month later.

I got the extremely smooth water by visiting very early in the morning. Note the sailors working in the rigging.

Bob, To me the ship and sky is slightly overexposed and needs a little more saturation. It could be that the TOD and lighting was not ideal. You nailed the composition; I would like to see a little more contrast to make the ship stand out.
Cheers!

The lighting was far from ideal. The sky is so bright since sun is coming up just to the right of the image. The angle wasn't great, but it was the only option I had that didn't require a boat, and even if I'd had a boat, then it would have made waves which would have ruined the reflections. So I worked with what I had available.

Maybe if I was better at Photoshop I could create a layer for the sky and darken it up a bit...
