The Story
January 2009. About one month after my last visit to this place, I returned to this abandoned ship yard near the Quinta da Atalaia, Seixal (check Abandonado photo story for more details on this spot). This time, I went in a more proper hour, where I would have some more day light, and with the motivation of exploring even further. Each time I go there, I get more confident (read: less afraid to explore) and I explore a bit deeper into the ship yard.
In this mini photo trip, I took an additional accessory: a grad neutral density filter to darken the sky. The sky was great in that day: very cloudy as I like it.
I explored the same spots that I had explored in the previous trip but in more detail and discovered another interesting spots there. I took plenty of photos this time and stayed there for almost one hour. As in the last trip, I went there alone.
This photo was taken over some very muddy ground, almost in the bay, and it captured this ship, in the rails that would lead it back to water (that never happened, thou :)).

Original Photo
Post Processing
This photo was one of my three choices from the ones I took that afternoon and it was published in the same day it was taken. The other two photos that I published were, one of them in black and white and the other trying to keep the original colors. In this one I decided to apply a different look.
I imported the NEF file into Lightroom, aligned and cropped it to my like. Then I applyied the Mike Lao's "300 V1" preset (you can find it here: http://inside-lightroom.com/?page_id=11) and simply reduced the Vignetting.
It was just that. I really liked the result and decided to don't change anything else.
