The US battleship “Arizona,” was sent to the bottom of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 by Japanese torpedoes, igniting the Second World War. The ship, along with the remains of over a thousand sailors, is still entombed in the mud at the bottom Pearl Harbor. Fortunately for history, its lavish silver service, used for state dinners when the ship was touring the world in the 1930s, was not aboard the Arizona when it was destroyed. The sterling silver plates, pitchers, bowls, and servers were away for refinishing. Today, the silver service is displayed under Plexiglas in the Arizona State Capitol Museum. I brought my lens very close to the case displaying an ornate serving bowl to avoid distracting reflections. My goal was to feature detail on the two incongruously fanciful sculptures of trident wielding figures. This detail reveals lower bodies made of fish tails, sitting upon the heads of sea serpents. An anchor symbolically adorns the center of the image. The base of the bowl is made up of two ship hulls crossed at right angles. Amazingly, even with my lens wide open at f/1.7 to shoot in very low light, I was able to get most of that base in focus to show off the detail.
