The lifeboat Photo

Photographer’s Note

The complementary colours of the lifeboat against the sky grabbed my attention while we were on the "Spirit of British Columbia", the ferry to Vancouver Island.

On the way back, we were on the same ferry. This very lifeboat was used on that return trip by two members of the crew to go out and help a small boat in distress. Since we were the last ferry that night, the coastguards had asked the crew to turn around and assist the sinking boat. The operation was successful and we ferried back to the mainland without other adventures.

Hi! Here a little note from an other canon powershot A75 user! Great shot this is. I like the POV, and it is funny to see how the cloud even follows the line of the boat.
Great sharpness and use of the light too!
