All Tied Up in the Details
When I'm presented with a beautiful scene, whether it is a harbour front or a wide landscape, it is very easy to get sucked into the big picture and shoot the wider shot. Of course there is nothing wrong with this but I try to look for the little details as well that might make an interesting picture.
Take this shot of a boat tied up in Tobermory Harbour on the Isle of Mull. I've taken hundreds of shots of the colourful houses and shop fronts and of the bay looking out towards the Sound of Mull but sometimes you have to stop and look for the details.
The rope was providing the perfect lead in line for the image and the boat was side on. Standing in front of the brightly coloured Mishnish Hotel and using the Fuji X100 with the wide angle converter, I used lined the shot up along the mooring rope and placed the boat at the very top of the frame. In post processing I converted the image to black and white in Silver Efex Pro2 and blurred the edges slightly to concentrate the attention on the boat and the mooring rope.
The result is an image that most people visiting Tobermory would have not stopped to take, probably turning 180 degrees to take yet another shot of the blue, yellow and pink painted houses.
