Belfast drydocks seem to have moved away from ship building (outside of military vessels) and towards vessel refits. I think the vessels that arrive here are typically highly varied, so you can see a lot. The refits though can take many months when it's a large one like this. 💜

I'm using the website, if you go to the profile of someone that configured the hashtags, the side bar has all the menu options, look all the way down on the bottom and you will see featured hashtags.

I feel stupid for never noticing that feature before, I do not think the bottom right is a very visible place for it, however I really like this feature!

I’ll post a portrait on Friday then! 😁
You look like a busy man from your feed, but even so if you wanted to delve a bit more in photography… Almost everything I’ve learned was on YouTube.
Tony and Chelsea had a bunch of fundamentals I found great around aperture, shutter speed, ISO, taking wild life etc. https://youtube.com/@tonyandchelsea?si=P5cEe2xDwupuja9X
Then more for headspace I use https://youtube.com/@thephotographiceye?si=RdHJwmb5_eGtNz3w

The ship #SeaRoseFPSO originally built by #Samsung and owned by #Canadian integrated energy company #CenovusEnergy under goes a refit in #Belfast. Too big for Canadian drydocks. We have one of Europe's largest heavy engineering facilities, deep water access, two of Europe’s largest drydocks and vast fabrication halls.
In the photo, #HarlandAndWolff are in the process of giving her a new copper coat to stop marine growth on her underside.

Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a space alien that's come to visit and seeing things for the first time, you should try it, you see sometimes really bizarre things! 😄

I think it’s expected to collect email addresses these days when signing up for a service, so you shouldn’t dwell over if you need to do that in my opinion.

A pathway protected by metal railings, a barrier for the vibrant array of flowers, yet they endure. Their petals burst forth, a display of nature's tenacity against the man-made confines. Against all odds, they bloom, painting a picture of resistance and beauty.

I hear similar from locals here, but I think it's sometimes hard to see what's right in front of you when the modern digital world bombards you with the best the world has to offer.
I think exposure online can take away a sense to appreciate what is right in front of you sometimes.

glad to hear I didn't make a poor choice 😁
You will probably have another chance to see it beginning of June according to reports online, so perhaps you'll get to see something more significant this time around. 💜

likewise! I love how down to Earth your photos are and really appreciate how well grounded they are. 💜

The colours were constantly changing for me. Green was the most visible. What I found surprisingy difficult was getting the white balance right when I was processing this photo later was just moving that slider was producing a bunch of cool colours I didn't see, but decided to try to keep it close to what I saw. 💜

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to witness the #NorthernLights over #RathlinIsland, I managed to capture this image, you could feel the ambience.

#Introduction post!
Oh hi! I'm looking to make connections with other people, possibly then eventually meet and do some expeditions together out in the real world at some point. Also, would love to see what others are doing.
Very much into #street, #stilllife, #wildlife, #nature, #landscape, #photography. Have been trying to get into #portrait photography but I'll admit, I am a little shy doing portraits because I am very critical of my own photos. Also been wanting to get into #astro too~
