Challenge 875: On the bridge
We're back in the La Rochelle Maritime Museum again, only this week we're on the bridge of a meteorological exploration vessel. I was intrigued to see that, despite the array of technology that surrounds modern shipping, they still have a brass control switch (technical term needed, please) and, moreover, a wooden steering wheel (ditto) that looks unchanged since the 16th century. Can you put this vessel to sea? Sorry about the wide angle of the shot, it wasn't a very big bridge. High res is here. |

As a man who apparently knows a bit about everything I am pretty sure that the brass control is called the ship's telegraph. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Also known as the Engine Order Telegraph, or Chadburn. See Wikipedia. |

Quite unable to to think of anything original for this, on the face of it, rather prosaic challenge. Must be getting old .......... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

My immediate thought on this was..ghost ship. So, I went with it. http://vimeo.com/608745917 Popeye and Olive Oyl look good. But where's the spinach? Loyd, the lighting from the lightning storm is fabulous. _________________ Dorothy: "there's no place like home!" |

Thanks Anna and vibeke... Skull Island is awesome Anna, there is a lot to like! Mariner, I have no idea, but if I were going to make a 'WAG' I would say some sort of vent. |

Re: Challenge 875: On the bridge
Thank you Loyd Michael, regarding the vent thing - I wonder how many times the captain hit his head on it? _________________ Dorothy: "there's no place like home!" |

I am almost certain that it's definitely an oojamaflip or a whatchamacallit. On the other I hand, I suppose it could just be be a thingamajig? _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
