sail in the sky

Posted by
Darkelf Photography (Perth, Australia) on 15 September 2010 in Abstract & Conceptual.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have been experimenting from time to time with something other than landscapes and night views... this is the top of the Western Australian Maritime Museum in Fremantle...

i was watching the Queen Mary II leave the port on that day (and a massive ship it is indeed) when i looked up to see the sail like architecture set itself nicely against some interesting high level clouds in the sky...

A striking black and white. The background really isolates the subject. Wonderful.

This is really great! I love architectural B&W images, and this has so much wonderful texture. I also like the hard jagged edge against the cloudy soft sky!
