Daily routine for me. Time 16:56hrs

Being on duty, I have more opportunities to take a few photos. Bringing my camera with me , when a subject or the conditions are favorable, and when time allows me of course to do it , I take a few minutes to capture the moment , the light, the mood.

Yesterday , I had two ships in port , the subject one was discharging her cargo , while next to me on your left , another one was just about to sail. Another shot to come of this cutie.

The sun was setting after a beautiful sunny afternoon. Recent ships' movements in the basin and strong SW'ly winds cleaned most of the ice on Friday. After 24 hours a thin ice is building up, providing cool reflections.

The MV Federal Sakura eventually sailed this morning at 0718 hrs. Bound for Sorel, Qc

Technically: With Photoshop CS4, a slight crop, darkened the yellows, lightened the whites with selective colors. Resized and framed for TL with Photofiltre

I am on duty til Friday the February 27th. I will visit you as soon as I will have opportunities.

Bonjour Robert,

I love the constrasty light that gives nice saturated colors all over. Image is sharp, well exposed. Composition is balanced. PP is discrete but very effective. Nice work and TFS.

Bonjour Robert,
Quel beau ton de bleu et réflection dans l'eau !!

Belle présentation et tous mes compliments

The detail of ice on the bow of the ship is what makes this photo work so well for me. That and the rich gradient of the sky vs. the red of the hull.
Very nice work

The ice is melting, and it is strange seeing it in round patches.
The blue sky makes a deep blue water, and I like the reflections from the boat too,

Always great to see your post of ship and blue sky because they really make great subject of photography especially with the kind of ships that you often pass by. Wonderful shot!
