RMS Justicia bow section 231ft/70m depth. We are now looking directly at the break section of the
foredeck with the very bow tip not visible in this instance in the far distance. Again you can see
the mooring capstans pushed high above the main deck level. In the foreground is much twisted ironwork and hull structure which presented a little more time consuming problems when I was
setting up the tripod in this location in order to capture this image I was looking for. Each leg of my Velbon tripod was at a different angle and length for the lens to sit just right. Once again the
diver to the left of the image represents a little form of scale although unfortuantly the curvature
of the image pixels are obvious above when I have tried to reduce the file size for web display.
Film Stock on this occasion was AGFA Scala 200x multi speed Blk & White slide pushed to 1600
ISO, the 16mm 2.8f Nikkor has been fitted with a red internal filter to add to the grainy effect.
Aperture was needless to say F22 to capture some serious depth of field while the shutter
speed rode in at 5 seconds on my own manual exposure instincts. Luckily for me the diver was
not really on the move neither were those foreground fish which in this case was a result.
