Nikon 1 V3 Hodgepodge | Ghost Ship

Nikon 1 V3 Hodgepodge | Ghost Ship

Nikon 1 V3 Hodgepodge | Ghost Ship   The Straits of Machinac see some serious ships going by Mackinac Island.  This ship made its way through the fog and mist east bound.  This freighter was slowly traversing the Straits of Mackinac.  As the ship steams its way though the fog, its light silhouette adds contrast against the water and sky. The Mackinac Bridge in the background adds depth.

The Back Story  Again, sometimes, vacation time provides an opportunity to slow down, relax a bit, and make a photograph outside your comfort zone.  This image was a simple click on the boat ride back from Mackinac Island.  I convert from color into B&W in post processing.  Most of the time, I seem to get better B&Ws by concerting from color than capturing the image in B&W in the camera    Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

US Coast Guard Cutter Mobile Bay 103 at Chicago Air & Water Show  The Mobile Bay is a 140-foot Bay-class, state of the art, icebreaker currently stationed at Sturgeon Bay, WI.  It uses a low-pressure-air hull lubrication system that forces air and water between the hull and ice which improves its icebreaking capabilities by reducing resistance against the hull.
