a mix! photo's taken on a walk Boom Scooter on the Fraser River

One of many of these hard working tugs you see along the

Fraser River. Thanks for your time.

Nice shot---good composition---ML

Andrea. I just LIKE it! Every shot on the wole PN shoul have been "judged" "on it's own! Just in the way of liking it or not and between.And not every body will like the same. That's very nice, for otherwise chinese restaurants would be empty or overfilled. (Originality 4,5.. I saw..)What to get a 6 ?! Turning the Tuk upside down, with the whole captains family on it.. painting it yello..?! At that moment on that place you were seeing THIS. And it did please you! And now it is pleasing me!You loved it. Now I do love it. What to do.. passing by, thinking.. it will prabably be not original enough?! The nicest,most original photo doesn't exist! There are very very good ones. Let's be very, lucky with them. But making them "the golden rule" and denying the other ones as not being "original enough" is changing our selves from photographers with on open eye in "visual selfmurderers" and by judging colleages in the same way.. in "terrorists!" Not origional enough often means that we have gone eye-addics. All the time looking for something stronger. Poor we.

this are retired tugs. photos like this brings you back in time. it cultivate viewers minds regards to what happen to these relics. i like it very much cause its not just a photo. its a photo that tells a lot of story. thanks for sharing DSC.

Thank you Michael, Olaf, DSC , for your comments. It is really interesting

watching the operators maneuver these little boats in and out of the log booms. There are different names for them, Dozer, Sidewinders, Boom Scooter,

Tugboat isn't really the proper name for these little guys. But yes they are a good part of our logging history now.

Very much like the pastel coloring in this shot. Kind regards John

Yes, Allison, you have captured a piece of the history up there and this to me is what photography is really all about. Freezing a moment in history/time that will never be there again. Nicely done. New camera or is this what you have been using?

Hi Paul ! It is the same camera , but I have added a new lens 70mm-300mm.

Andrea, The combination color of yellow and blue and the lighting and shadow make this a perfect composition. :)

Thank you Spencer. Kind Regards Andrea

Excelente encuadre, perfecta luz , color y gran composicion, la toma desde la parte superior le da una gran perspectiva, saludos cordiales Andrea.

Dear Andrea,

 

I just can't take my eyes off this shot. It's fabulous on so many levels--tells a story, it's unusual, it takes me somewhere "I'd want to be," and it's of course very well executed. Great job. Tom

We did a video of these little pushers and get big smiles and giggle when we watch them work, thanks for the reminder, Mick

Very original,and its all been said, thanks for sharing :)

Love the shot and the subject, well done Andrea.

Andrea, this is a great shot these tugs are very intresting they don't like they should float!!!, well done. Rich.
