I went out to take a long exposure landscape shot at Skonun Point near Masset, Haida Gwaii when I noticed a container ship in the far distance of Dixon Entrance. This is the first freighter I've seen in these waters. So I changed to my telephoto lens and took this shot which is also cropped to bring it in this close.

It certainly had a mystery to it, Debra, like a ghost ship appearing out of the fog when viewed with the eye but when viewed through the lens the fog turned out to be clouds.

I like how the ship is appears to be sailing along the horizon of the image. This image really shows the enormity of the container ship. Nice colours and texture in the water, nicely captured Harold.
