Titanic - The Legend
Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 17 May 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is what happened to "HEART" shaped opening (my yesterday's pic) in the sky in few seconds, it was just for a moment.
Anyways, this aint any titanic, i just tried to make it look majestic in this shot LOL, it was just a crapy model ship by the shore on the cement. ;-)

Love the reflection on the side of the ship, nice colours and composition.

@Zing: Thanks Zing, actually it was more bright on the other side and could see a red arrow on the ship. I masked it by increasing the contrast slightly and guess it worked to my advantage here, putting one side in shadow and other under the dying sunlight. :)
Lisha from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
it doesnt look crappy at all. well, if it truly was a crappy ship, you did a good job uncrapping it. :)

kairospix from Singapore, Singapore
hey even though it was a model ship i wouldn't have guessed it if you didn't mentioned it because it is so well made that i thought you were on on a smaller sampan below shooting up!!!
it's a great shot dude!

@kairospix: Thanks bro, it was cloudy day to shoot the sunset, so was just experimenting and mokeying around, and guess i got lucky with this one hehehe... ;)
Behrooz from Tehran, Iran
You did that really good. It doesn't look crappy at all here. I like that overexposure in the sky that has become the source of light.

Great job, Rahul!! The sky is very dramatic and the reflection on the "crapy model ship" is excellent. Well done!!

Celialee from Kyoto, Japan
Awesome! I love the sunset and the reflection of the rays on the ship. It would have just been another ordinary sunset picture but the ship/boat made it more.

@Celialee: Thanks Celia, make sure we make a trip to this place on a sunny day hahaha... I am sure we would be able to catch a lot of cool sunset shots. ;-) I want to go there again too.
