In the Sound of Bute and approaching Lochranza on Arran in Scotland. Quite a windy day for the little ferry.
MV Catriona is a pioneering diesel electric hybrid passenger and vehicle roll-on, roll-off ferry built for Caledonian MacBrayne for the Claonaig - Lochranza crossing. She is the third hybrid ferry commissioned and owned by Caledonian Maritime Assets, one of three such ferries in the world to incorporate a low-carbon hybrid system of diesel electric and lithium ion battery power. The ferries are sea-going and are nearly 150 ft long, accommodating 150 passengers, 23 cars or two HGVs.

Thanks to the incredible dynamic of Fuji 's Super CCD sensor, I was able to recover the blown highlights when I shot at the sun behind the clouds last Saturday in Alviso. The Fuji S5 Pro is a lot of fun to shoot with despite its relatively low resolution and sluggishness in operation. Paired with a decent Nikkor glass, it 's quite capable to do some magic with highly contrasty scenes like this. It has a lot more headroom than any other digital cameras that I have come across. The rolloff from the highlights is just like negative film.
The Roll-0n Roll-off MV Troubridge, a deep sea passenger and vehicle ferry, was built to replace SS Karatta, serving the Adelaide, Kingscote, Port Lincoln coastal run. Services began in 1961.
She was owned by the South Australian Steamship Company 1961–1977, then R W Miller and the South Australian Government.
The large purpose designed gantry on the wharf was constructed to allow cars and cargo carriers to drive straight on and off the ship.
“Troubridge” ceased operating in June 1987, when she was replaced by the “Island Seaway”. The same gantries were used by the new vessel proved unreliable and was retired in 1995.
After various subsequent owners she was scrapped in Turkey in 2004.
This morning, we had 3 shots in mind: somewhere near where the deadhead got underway, Iowa City, and Moscow. For the Iowa City shot, we considered the in-town crossing of the Iowa River, but passed since we thought a that early hour, the sun wouldn't be be very good for a side angle shot from the south. We had kind of pre-scouted and saw that there was an old Rock Island depot just east of there. But, when we arrived there were two problems: 1) The depot was kind of in the shadows of other building/trees and 2) There was a giant rolloff dumpster in the middle of the scene f-ing things up and make any kind of shot (depot in the shade aside) impossible.
Running out of time, we settled for the first crossing east of the Iowa River, which had a somewhat decent curve to it...and the positive of straight down the pipe sun. But, it turns out that the light was pretty good for the Iowa River shot and while the light was great here, the scene was pretty damn boring so, it's hard to put this one down as a "win" for me.

Used flash to fill in the foreground, but it was a bit too bright and harsh, so I toned it down with a wide, elliptically shaped radial filter in Lightroom. The filter increased color temperature, reduced highlights, and reduced exposure. I adjusted the feathering on the filter to match, as much as possible, the gradual rolloff in flash intensity with increased distance.
