Striped Sails, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

A genuinely enjoyable museum in Barcelona is the Maritime Museum located at the bottom of the Ramblas and next to the waterfront. Within the cavernous Gothic structure dating back to the 13th-century, a treasure trove of maps, weapons, paintings, and models of galleons are on display. This photo is no more than a snapshot with my iPhone, but it is sharp enough to reveal the textures of the model galleon showing a ship from the 15-16th centuries. I imagine Christopher Columbus might have sailed in a ship like this, although with its many canons, this is clearly a warship.

Hello Bulent,
A difficult task but carried out wonderfully, with the replica of the old galleons (That looking as preserved within a glassed tank). The backlight was fairly good handled.
A Cell-phone pic. that making awesome photos.
Have a nice weekend,
Ike

Dear Bulent,

Almost not to believe that with the small ships go fight on sea.
Happy that we get this boat we see clear how formerly the warship was built.
You picture is very well photographed in very difficult conditions.
Colours and presentation are pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Bulent
sorry for the late reply, but i'm here now.
this type of museum would be the one's I'd like to spend time in as well. Learning about the good old days of Maritime travel dating back to the 13th century. very cool indeed.
this would have been quite the ship back in its day, I wouldn't want to sail across it.
excellent subject
cheers

Hello Bulent,
your iPhone did its job excellently, it confronted many challenges and captured a clear, interesting and enjoyable image. I like the dark and warm colours and the surreal impression that the great ship is sailing in a sea of fragmented elements and reflections. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hi Bulent
You certainly chose the right lens for the job! This is a fabulous shot, under what must have been less than ideal conditions as far as lighting is concerned. Your toning, and choice of background is perfect for this, interesting exhibit - a glimpse at history. The warm tones really enhances the subject splendidly!
Congrats
P/S Appreciate your nice words on my last upload,
Best wishes

Hello Bulent,

The old Spanish galleon replica is clearly visible through the protective glass window. Good sharpness and reflections are not too worrisome. Excellent sharpness and the museum indeed looks worthy of a visit. Tfs!

Selamlar Bülent Bey,
I remember seeing a similar ship in glass enclosure at the fort in old town San Juan. Excellent photo for an iPhone, TFS!

very nice this miniature of an old caravel. interesting details of the boat. it isn't easy to take images dealing with reflections in glasses, this is ever a problem, but we can enjoy the object. TFS.
happy 2017
hugs
