Photographs from the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

These pictures were made on the Queen Mary liner in the middle of an Atlantic crossing from Southampton to New York in late December 2012. It was very cold and windy but also very sunny. These objects are parts of spare propeller blades which have been secured in an ornamental fashion to the front of the ship. They are referred to as ‘The Commodore’s Cufflinks’. There are 4 of these which are about 7 feet high and when the sun shines the light bounces and reflects off their highly polished surfaces making them look even more surreal. They were all shot with the Olympus OMD EM5 and the Olympus 12mm f2 lens
