If you want to capture the atmosphere of the sea and the feeling of travel in your photos, photographing ships is a great way to do so. A ship docked in a harbor tells a story by itself, and even just capturing details such as the ropes, rusty texture, and lines of the ship's hull can make a great picture. The appeal of this technique is that you can enjoy different atmospheres at different times of the day: in the morning you can capture a quiet expression in the clear light, and in the evening you can aim for silhouettes in the backlight. If you pull back a little to get a wider view of the sea and sky, you can create a sense of openness, and if you move in closer, you can express the power and life that only a ship can offer. This is a very rewarding subject to photograph, capturing both serenity and dynamism.
