Lens Artists Photo Challenge #324 – In the Details

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , , ,

Patti’s challenge: “Choose a subject (a statue, a person, a place, street art, etc.) and take a series of photos about your subject. Get closer and closer to the subject, focusing on a particular detail(s). Vary your shots by changing your perspective or angle of shooting or even your lens. Post three photos of your subject. Feel free to shoot another series on a second subject.”

I went for a walk on Tybee Island’s north beach looking for inspiration for this challenge. It’s my favorite place to walk and there is always something interesting to see there.

Container ships in the shipping channel are a common sight from the beach. The container ship in the header photo was sailing out to Atlantic Ocean after leaving the port of Savannah.

I zoomed in for a closer look and discovered a flock of birds at the water’s edge.

I zoomed in further to see the details of the containers on the ship.

Another common sight at the beach is seashells that have washed ashore.

Most of the shells have been broken by the wave action.

I zoomed in for a closer look at the shells.

I zoomed in even closer to see the details of the shells.

Many thanks to our host Patti for the challenge Lens-Artists #324 – In the Details

  1. I had a friend who worked as a merchant marine and served at the chief mechanic on the big container ships. I met him in Oakland once and he gave me a tour of the ship and machinery. Talks about up close, it was incredible, especially the size of the pistons that drove the ship.

    1. Nancy, I had fun with this challenge. Container ships and shells on the beach are things I see often but I rarely take the time to take a closer look at them with my camera. I’m glad you enjoyed the images.
