Today’s post is a great shot of a  modern day shipwreck I discovered off the coast of Cyprus recently.

Quite a dramatic site and I had to of course stop for a shot or 30. This is one of my favourites, although there is another view where the sky was much better, but I like the composition of this shot.

Taken on my Canon 6D with 17-40mm F4L Lens (of course – you are probably boredof hearing  me say that!)

All processing was done in Lightroom. Another 2 shot HDR Merge with adjustments mainly in the correction panel plus dodging and burning.

I have reverted to taking a bracketed set of 3, having experimented with sets of 5 (a change you do on the 6D in the custom settings).  The reason is that I really do not need 5 images the way the HDR Merge feature in Lightroom works, so this means less data and less memory taken up. I have written about this on a previous blog post, where I showed the comparison between a single image and 2, 4 and 5 exposure bracketed sets. Basically 2 stops under and 2 stops over works best!

I like shooting large ships, not normally wrecks, which make fascinating subjects for industrial photographers. The scale of these large vessels can be staggering.
