Marina at Rockport Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is the marina of Rockport. The sailboats are kept in the marina as shown in this picture. I was wondering that how people can access the boat until I saw someone raw a caneo back from the sail boat.

A storm was brewing at the time when this picture was taken.

Hi Wes,
Good point of view and light management. The boats are very well located in this angle. Excelent enquadrement by levels. Good depth of field, nice grey-blue clouded sky, splendid colors and fine sharpness.

A beautiful Marina capture and composition very well seen and done by you. Congratulations and have a nice week.

nice shot of the marina, Wes
despite the moody atmosphere before the storm, the boats are well captured nicely

The light is good for this compo of all the well packed boats - stress the impression of off season. Well made shot of this motif

The stormy sky has provided some dramatic lighting for your shot. Following your links has also told a story to us.

Bonsoir Wes,
A propos de l'accès aux bateaux, je m'étais posé la même question et puis comme vous, j'ai découvert qu'il fallait un canoé pour rejoindre l'embarcation principale. ! ;o))
Superbe prise de vue, où le ciel se révèle d'une beauté exemplaire mettant en valeur cette marina.
Very, very well done.
Amitiés.

Hi Wes, The composition is very balanced to the eye. A nice view of the marina. But, what I noticed and like the most is the: color. By the colors of the composition you can really tell that the storm is coming. And I think you captured that previous moment very well. Very dramatic point of view. Well done, Gabriel

Hej Wes,
I like the repetition of the boats in the marina very much. The cloudy sky creates a nice atmosphere. Well done.
Hilsner,

Hi Wes
I also see a similar scene in Chicago. However what with covered boat. Well done

Hi Wes, an attractive picture of these boats covered with their canopies awaiting the storm. The sky has wonderful detail and the turbulence is obvious. (I think you're sloping down a bit to the left.)

sergecross (3438) 2005-12-12 20:55

Very well scene. I like the calmed place and also the boats on the water, they are very interesting.

Hi Wes
Very glommy image, pal. Yeah, the storming are coming.
You needed to level the image a little to balance it, friend. And the stormy gloomy wheather is making the image a little under or dark. Try to increase a little contrast to it, where it will improve the colors and visual of the boats.
Cheers and Merry Christmas.

Interesting post and note Wes, answering a most important question !! The point of view is very nice and the light well managed with this grey sky, good depth, well seen.

singuanti (15240) 2005-12-12 22:10

Hi Wes. It's funny with all of the repeating colors of tarps in use. That makes for a good photographic opportunity. I also like how they all seem to be pointing the same way. Nice catch M. Wes.

Emile (19883) 2005-12-12 23:56

Hola Wes.
Very good POV, beautiful place, well taken from a high angle. The colors of the clouds are great. Very good perspective.
Well done.

Hi Wes!

Well seen and well composed, I like the repeated of blue canopies. Interesting shot from excellent point of view.
Tanks for posting.

This reminds me of the Thames. There are many river boats where people live, even in London! The exposure is great and the colour conveys the arriving stormy weather nicely. Great stuff

The mood is exactly typical from this kind of weather and I fell it well. Beautiful place with this "mouillage" as we say here.
I like it
I would suggest that the left part of the picture is falling a bit (natural by the angle and the laws for a perspective coming from the left BUT :-)) the eye is normally correctig this so I propose in the ws to have it a bit up..

Hi Wes

I like the repetition of the yachts & the sombre lighting. Good pov with excellent sharpness. Congratulations!

LEA (4821) 2005-12-13 15:10

The danger of a coming storm is well enhanced by the cloudy sky. Nice shot.
Interesting remark for the access to the boat.

Hola wes
bonita captura nuevamente apesar de la luz existente en el momento conseguiste una gran toma con buen enfoque y punto de vista.
Saludos

Hi Wes, the scattered boats over the whole place gave a balanced view. Photo is sharp considering the gloomy weather ahead.

Stepan (27175) 2005-12-16 16:30

It's low season, that's clear !!! The boats seem to be so alone, maybe even afraid !
You captured a stron atmosphere.
Well done.

Hi Wes
Rockport is the other place from where I have enjoyed the photos a lot. I like the tilt in this photo, I think it adds a very good dynamism to the whole scene. good work in capturing all those lonely boats that appear as if waiting for the storm to be over.
