En route to sea Hands on Deck & Gangway

The sailor on the gangway along the ship. The open North Sea beckons before the bow. The men on the bow busy preparing the ship for sea and clearing the mooring lines. The ship sails from the locks at IJmuiden to the North Sea on a dark rainy day.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port towns 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.
