Photographer’s Note

Taken from the top of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, these are two ferries (and a couple of tugs) being prepared for their regular trips across to the Isle of Wight.

Given that the Tower platforms are fully enclosed, there is a little bit of reflection from the glass, but overall I like the way that your sheer height above them makes the ships look almost like toys.

Hello Richard,

The point of view is very original, and the title you chose fits well.
However, the shadows of the legs (yourself?) on the windows is breaking a little the effect. In this case, when possible, the better is to put the lens as close as possible from the windows, to use a lens cap to avoid shadows and to put a polariser which helps to cut the reflection.

Yves.
