#greatlakesfreighter

Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring view of the Mackinac Bridge gracefully connecting two Michigan peninsulas, as a colossal Great Lakes Freighter sails through the waters below. Witness the harmony of nature and human ingenuity.

The Meteor, the last of the experimental "whaleback" designed ships on the Great Lakes, was built in Superior, Wisconsin in 1896, and sailed until 1969. The design, created by Scottish captain Alexander McDougall, enabled her to carry a maximum amount of cargo with a minimum of draft. She is a museum ship in the city of her birth.

— Safety First! · Another shot of "Johanna G" in 35mm - cropped 1:1 to emphasize the subject. (I didn't have a long enough lens with me to accomplish the same.) Still, the square format is pleasing to the eye, and one day I hope to start shooting it in medium format. · Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400. SMC Takumar.

— Great Lakes continued. Another shot of the same ship from Autumn 2019. Shouldn't have had the edge of the bridge, but I'm still loving this colour film cross-processed in B&W chemicals! 😃 · Fujifilm X-TRA 400. Ilfosol 3. SMC Takumar.

— I've seen the light. Mildly metaphorically. · Just another reasonably well-composed B&W shot? Not if you take into account that it was taken late this summer on Colour Film and cross-processed in B&W chemistry! · I love the feel of the contrast. Such soft transitions! I'm likely going to do this again. On purpose, instead of an experiment. · Fujifilm X-TRA 400. Ilfosol 3. SMC Takumar.
