Photos of the USS Hornet taken with a Lytro light field camera.

The photograph titled "USS Hornet" presents a striking image of an imposing naval vessel captured from the bow, displaying its massive and angular structure. The ship is adorned with a line of patriotic bunting, adding a festive touch to its austere presence. In the foreground, a chipped and weathered blue rail adds a contrasting element, providing a sense of place and depth to the composition. The background is softly blurred, highlighting the grey silhouette of the ship against a subdued sky, casting an atmospheric mood over the scene.

The composition of the photograph is intriguing, focusing on the formidable front of the USS Hornet, emphasizing its sheer scale and grandeur. The use of a low-angle perspective gives the ship an even more monumental aspect, suggesting strength and history. The choice to include the blue rail in the foreground adds an element of texture and color contrast, although it might distract slightly from the ship's grandeur. The overall color palette is subdued, dominated by greys and blues, which complements the solemnity of the vessel. The depth of field could have been better utilized to keep both the ship and the foreground in sharper focus, which might engage the viewer more effectively. Overall, the photograph successfully conveys the power and presence of this historic ship.
