Barge in the port of Amsterdam

A barge moored at a jetty on a vast plain. The solitude in the harbour with hoar frost on the reeds at the water's edge. A beautiful misty winter day in the port of Amsterdam the inland barge awaits her new voyage and her new cargo for her tanks.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port cities are often bustling centres of trade and industry, with ships, trucks and trains moving in and out to load and unload goods. This offers photographers the opportunity to capture beautiful images of large ships docked at the quayside, crane machines loading and unloading containers from and onto the ships, and workers busy at work. Port photography can be challenging, as there is often a lot of movement and activity, and the light is constantly changing. But when the right moments are captured, port photo's can produce impressive and inspiring images.
