The harbour service and the tugboat pass each other by Scheepskijker Havenfotografie

In the background lies the port of Rotterdam, beneath a sky full of clouds. The movement of the water, and the wake and bow waves of the ships, lend the photograph a raw and powerful character. The port of Rotterdam is always in motion; the tugboat is already on its way to the next towing job.” Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the hustle and bustle of ports. Port cities are often bustling hubs of trade and industry, where ships, lorries and trains come and go to load and unload goods. This offers photographers the opportunity to capture stunning images of large ships moored at the quay, cranes loading and unloading containers onto and off the ships, and workers busy at their tasks. Port photography can be challenging, as there is often a great deal of movement and activity, and the light is constantly changing. But when the right moments are captured, port photo's can yield impressive and inspiring images.
