Model Ships. Old pics, new tricks. 
May 7, 2012
I know I'm pretty slow on the uptake - but I was finally introduced to the possibilities of tilt shift-type effects on photoshop the other day after seeing some pics by Vanessa - our very own laboratory harbinger of chaos (Lab Loki).

Just a bit of fun I know and I'm probably not applying it properly - but it really does make things look miniature - or at least quite cool. Either that or it makes the camera colossal...

And perfect for ships - (I was a model nerd once).

All these pics are recycled from other albums here including some pics from my time on seismic vessels and rigs (can you guess the rig? It's famous...), but my favourites are definitely those of the Gustav Vasa. Although the rig shots do have a certain Thunderbirds quality about them...
