Coming through!

This huge laker was truly an impressive sight going through that

little channel without the aid of a tug or anythig! Please let me

know what you think, as always, all comments welcome and

appreciated! Thanks.

I love this! You made it look like the freighter is doing 100 km/h! I would retouch out the shadow of the street light fixture on the flank of the ship toward the left edge of the picture, though; it's a bit distracting.

 

Thanks for the kind words - you brought a big smile to my face, as this was the effect I wanted! I also tried shooting the second bridge in motion, but my attempts were not to my liking - there is always next time, and now I have some tricks that I want to try!

As I look at this picture more, what really impresses me about it is that the people in the picture were still throughout the 30-sec exposure while the ship moved. That really enhances the effect. Not only a great composition but one that really calls memories for me as someone who grew up around the Detroit River and saw these same freighters all the time at a different stage of their journeys.

 

You have to love fishermen - not a very movement intensive bunch, ehhehehe. Glad you enjoyed the picture!

I like it. :)

It really does look like it's moving at 100 mph. You got a long exposure just right! Well done.
