A Time to Rest Photo

Photographer’s Note

Transportation comes in all sorts of various means which makes the transportation go well.
These cranes in Melbourne's Dockland work very hard to achieve this by loading and unloading Containers of SHips that arrive.
While all the others were being used, these ones were left to Rest a while and continue next shift. Where would we be without these cranes and the drivers?
The lights of these cranes made me look at them with awe and respect.

Cheers

Hello Petros! I think this would have been a nice industrial art type of image if it weren't for the fence in the foreground. The fence really distracts from the cranes.

I know the site well, living not far away, and I've also been there at night for some of these industrial-type images. The fence is a difficult obstacle - the only way around it is to place the camera right next to it and shoot in long tele, or try to frame your elements inside one of the bits of mesh.

There are some great colours here, Petros, but it looks a bit unsharp to me - you must have used a tripod if the exposure was a second long, so perhaps it was shake from the mirror locking up?
