Anchor Job

Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM
1/15 sec ~ f/2.8 ~ iso 320

A deck hand working on the deck during retrieve anchor from another vessel. This job must be done by an experience deck hand due to the risk of the job and all the equipment used during this operation is high in risk if misused. The anchor on the deck itself weight 3 tons and connected to a chain and wire rope all the time before release to the seabed. 

It's quite challenging for me to capture this photo due to the low light condition and the vessel keep rolling sideways. I need to fully concentrate and play with the wave before press the shutter. The lens I am using help me a lot.
