One half mast... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Probably the fore mast of Statsraad Lehmkuhl, but just the starboard half, because my lens was not wide enough to catch it all!
This one goes with a previous picture showing trainees bracing the yards of that very mast, which is here.

Hello Emmanuel,

It is always a pleasure to come upon one of your photos when it has just been submitted. It's an extraordinarily good image from 1993. Just by chance I am wearing a knit navy and gold shirt that I apparently purchased in 2001 at the marina in Bergen, where I saw all the tall ships in port. The emblem on the shirt reads "2001 Antwerp, Bergen, Alesund, EsBjerg." It is a shirt that I had never worn before, but half as old as the image. In your photo, the effect of the red circular stack is very much like a chop mark on a Chinese scroll.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Emmanuel,

I like the good graphism in this composition. Great perspective given by the cables and the mast. Good job!

Have a nice sunday

Bonjoue Emmanuel,

Un cadrage très orginal avec cette demi=voile. Très original mais très efficace aussi avec en plus le POV qui renforce l'effet. Les détails des cxordages sont très bien captés.
Bon dimanche,
Roger

Hi Emmanuel,
Un cadrage peu courant que j'apprécie, chacune de tes photos me donnant envie de prendre la mer. Belle capture.

The cables on top right make a very curious web. I do not know anything about boats but I think they are necessary to keep the mast up in position. The ventilation exhaust pipe adds another point of interest in here. Well done.

Dag Emmanuel,

In a gallery a red dot means that the artwork (painting, sculpture or picture) is already sold. When this picture was on a gallery, I wasn’t surprise if was another red dot on the red dot.
Well done. Sometimes it is alright that the lens isn’t wide enough.
