I like to go out with my D700 and the macro 105 screwed on, looking for details of larger wholes. In Hoorn harbour, there is a host of possibilities in this regard. Not so long ago, I went to work on the Houten Hoofd - the wooden mooring pier in Hoorn harbour. The skipper of one of the historical boats watched me for a while and then jokingly remarked whether I wouldn't like to put his whole boat on it too. I took this detailed picture of a pulley - in shipping terms a block - in the harbour in May 2012.
By getting a little closer, you can capture beautiful details of ships. Such a block is a great example of how a skipper tries to control the forces of such a ship. Pure power capable of making the skipper do things that would have been impossible without that block. Wonderful!
