I was feeling quite uninspired by the camera clubs competition 'People at Work'... I had thought for weeks about what I might do, but by the day the entries were due in, I still had nothing.
I didn't really want to walk into a shop and shove a camera in someones face and I wasn't even sure that would make a good shot in any case.
Then I heard that the Three Jays, a local fishing boat, was being launched (by hand, not wheels) down at Gorran Haven, a local Cornish fishing village. I didn't take much time to weigh up the options, as well, there were no options, so instead I grabbed my camera and headed off.
It was late morning, and the light was quite harsh, so I decided to use Photomatix to try and pull some detail out of the shadows and calm down the highlights. I was fairly pleased with the results over all.
There are more to come, but here is a taster:
Here is the one I entered for the competition - it came 2nd :)

More to follow - watch this space :)
