The Black Pearl(Bounty) arrives

[vulcan2912]

Hi guys

Managed to drag my butt out of bed in time to catch the Bounty arriving in Maryport.A very rare visitor to these shores.The ship was made more famous in recent years by appearing as the Black Pearl in The Pirates of the Carribean films.Poor weather for the arrival but you can only work with what you have got.













The Zebu that arrived at 1am the the same day.

Please ignore the sloping horizons.Must learn to take more notice when post processing.DOH.

Great shots, I would never have noticed the horizon! Think the first shot if my fav. These tall boat things look so graceful, wouldn't fancy crossing the Atlantic in one though!!

For some reason I'm having trouble with my horizons since I changed to a widescreen monitor.Then again,should get them right in the camera in the first place.
