Contrast & Views

The theme for this post is Contrast & Views, which goes both for sizes and colors. I had my eyes on a large red ship in the harbour of Gothenburg for a few days, which I thought would be nice in the sunset against a blue sky. Finally, I brought my camera to work the other day to caputre the ship on my way home. After a few other harbour shots I saw the ship leaving the harbour and first thought I would miss the whole thing, as I realized that that it would only add action to the images. I was lucky. I had plenty of time to capture the ship from several angels and with different foregrounds and backgrounds as it took a long time to get it out of the harbour. I learned that the Nowegian ship M/V Tijuca made its maiden call early this January. With a total length of just over 760 ft it has a capacity of unbelieavable 7,500 autos.

I also took the opportunity to shoot some images of one of the tallest buildings in Gothenburg, known as the Lipstick. I even went up to the top floor and grabbed a few shots of the view. That would be quite and office location to have.
