Until yesterday I knew only two places that you HAVE TO take off your shoes before entering. Any Muslim mosque and the house of aunt Marge after she had finished shining her wooden floor :)
Apparently there is a third one that is expected to be treated with the same respect and severity and that would be any luxury yacht!
I couldn't have known.
Yachting is something far away from my interests. I don't even like them. The adjectives that come in my mind when I see one of them are undue, extravagant, flashy, pretentious and all of them in the most negative way that can be used.
Actually I find rather annoying such a shameless display of wealth in a world that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the majority that is suffering. It is beyond my comprehension the mental processes of those people to convince themselves that it is ethical and right to live a life of absolute opulence while children are starving to death. I could never do that. I guess that's one more reason why I'll never be rich :)
But there is this big event in my town called the mediterranean yacht show that is impossible to ignore. So I took my camera and I went to take a look.
Anywise a photographer should be capable to take a few good pictures under any circumstances even in a surrounding that finds repulsive or even hostile.
Finally it wasn't so hard. The sun was about to set, shining with a lovely golden light the curves of the vessels, giving plenty of shooting opportunities and wherever there are people, there is also the element of unexpected that can spice up the pictures!
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 850D with an EF-S 18-135mm lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic
All the pictures and the words are mine.
