This large container ship passed the coast of Vlissingen and just came off the harbor and would continue its journey to a destination unknown to me, this shot I made on the boulevard of Vlissingen, Zeeland (NL). This ship is called Sandy Rickmers, is nearly 159 long and more than 25 meters wide. This ship sails under Marshallese flag (Majuro), an archipelago and since 1986 an independent state in the Pacific Ocean north of Nauru and Kiribati, east of Micronesia and south of the island of Wake. I have opted for a full-screen close-up to emphasize the enormous dimensions of the container ship, because it was very foggy over the sea that day, I opted for an HDRI adaptation to get the colors nice. Very impressive sight when such a huge ship is passing by at a relatively short distance, nice to see.
I photograph landscapes, animal portraits, macro / nature. If you are looking for a specific image, but do not find it in my webshop, you can always contact me via e-mail. Follow me on Twitter and facebook for the latest news... Read more…
