The Main Street, a photo from Ostfold, South

Photographer's Note

Inside this big ship, the most extraordinaire 'car ferry'. We find the main street 160 m long. Bars, restaurants and shops. In the end some steps up or down there is Aqua land, Spa/fitness center, conference center, even a casino.

The main street has a fantastic colour and lightsetting, changing all the time. Captured here in a kind of pink setting. Over the bar and shops you can see windows belonging to some 'inside' cabins with a view to the main street.

Wow! Amazing display of various colors! Very impressive compo, Jack! The colors really attract the viewer's attention. I think your POV captured how the place really looks like. It's a very fine interior shot! It's remarkable this is inside a ship, similar to Jeppe's photo. Great work! rgds.

Impressive view! I've never seen something like this on board... It looks like a big mall. Interesing futuristic light and colours.
Thanks for share.

Can´t find any maritime details in this shot,-looks more like a shopping mall so this must be a very "modern"ship.
Fantastic colors and contrasts in this image.
Good work,Jack!

Hi Jack, in Portugal we do have ferrys, but the biggest one should fit in the main room of this Tapas Restaurante :)

this is almost a 6* cruise and not a ferry, i really like the pinkish colours, the woman in the stairs is an important detail of the picture imo.

Regards,
Mario

This ship really seems to be a nice place to be, and also to be offering a great diversity of photographic subjects as your series shows, Jack. The blue and purple colors create a special atmosphere for this one, and the deep view down the concourse makes for a good composition. Good exposure handling to render an authentic look of the interior.

Rockyboy (20596) 2005-04-21 15:34

Wow, the colors are very attractive in this Ferry Jack. We can see a lot luxe and you framed very well this main street! I like the statue on the right. Well done!

smartins (1967) 2005-04-21 19:32

Hi Jack! Another wonderful photo! Great colors and composition!
This must be a wonderful trip ;)
Well done!

Take care,
Susana

Jeppe (18654) 2005-04-22 2:10

Wow - Surely over the standard I'm used to on ferries around here ;-) I seems like a place where people could spend sevaral days - no need for speed in order to make the trip in one day.

I like the atmosphere you captured - thanks Jack.

ChrisJ (86766) 2005-04-22 3:39

Hi Jack
(that sounds like someone abducting the pilot of a plane! Perhaps I should say 'Hello Jack' instead?)

Good colour, sharpness, & well managed interior lighting. Excellent work!

Hej Jack,
Nice view with unusual colors, interesting to see the disco atmosphere produced by this purple lighting... The Tapas bar does not sound very scandinavian, or is it a modern and trendy translation for smorgaasbord ?
Have a nice week end,
jean-Yves

papagolf21 (76453) 2005-04-22 4:58

Bonjour Jack,
160 mètres de couleurs, de lumière, d'art moderne avec des sculptures anciennes.
Tout ce mélange est très bien réalisé et donne une envie irrésistible de continuer la visite.
Belle réussite Jack.
Philippe

Hi Jack, great colour shot! Who would have guessed this Main Street is on a ship! Very well frame, showing a lot of details, thanks for sharing!

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-04-22 6:29

what a great colour to have as an interior, I like the decorations too here, well done

cessy (13647) 2005-04-22 8:10

what a color, stunning magenta
it doesn't look like inside of the ship, looks like a mall or something. very interesting.
excellent shot, Jack. thanks for sharing

Galmeida (12559) 2005-04-22 11:34

Hi Jack,
This is really a big and nice ship. Here you well managed the indoor light conditions and captured in a excelent angle of view this simphony of colours, details and mouvement. I like the Pink tonality and the Pink humain in the stairs. A must!

Congratulations.
Fernando

igorb (758) 2005-04-22 16:53

What a Purple shot, Jack, very impressive note accompanied. Thanks

bertolucci (13351) 2005-04-23 10:28

Hi Jack, nice capture of this ship with its postmodern electic interior: blue-purple lighting above retro classical details on the right, gleaming railing.....and what a size considering that this on a ship - very interesting! Nice job.
Regards from Rotterdam, Bert.

Excellent interior shot of this fine ship! Very luxury! Nice colors!

joseelias (369) 2005-06-17 6:31

This is impressive. I think I could live here for a while - except for the tones because I would stress and turn into a psycho-killer very fast! ;-)

The tones and details are very well managed as well the exposure. About the framing I would like to see just a bit more from the bottom part (to the base of the central structure) but I guess it would be hard without a really big wide angle.
