Evening on the Queen Mary II. A spur-of-the-moment shot capturing something of the romantic relaxation of life on board ship. This contre-jour image has not been modified in any way, and used the meter settings of the camera. Bold shapes are a necessity for such a shot.

Queen Mary 2
Pool on Queen Mary II. More my usual sort of style: fairly minimalist with lots of geometric lines creating a slight sense of the abstract. The two pillars with the circle of lights on top is the main element, placed one third from the left with the lights about one third to a quarter down. the solitary anonymous figure between the pillars, and the wet footprints add a sense of mystery. The lines on the deck stops the eye from moving out of the picture, and guides it to the wake of the ship. This shot was not modified in any way.
Queen Mary 2 - Evening at sea
Early evening on a Trans-Atlantic crossing. This image combines two of my favourite themes...contre-jour or 'into the light' and the use of geometric shapes, in this case the railings and shadows on the deck.
Queen Mary 2 - Deck 7 Bow
Maritime sculptures. These propeller blades on the bow of one of the decks on the Queen Mary 2 enabled me to take this image which consists of one of mt favourite themes...abstract shapes. The curves of the propeller blades contrast with the straight lines of the railings, which themselves contrast with the diagonal line of the cabin wall on the left. There is also use of colour...the warm orange contrasts with the blue of the sky. One reason that this shot works for me is the brightness and saturation of the colour. This image did not work on a dull, overcast day and I was lucky to get a moment of bright sunshine and abscence of people. This shot would not work if there were passengers milling about on deck.
