The rowers in the port of Rotterdam

by Scheepskijker Havenfotografie

The rowers in the port of Rotterdam. The rowers on their way to the next ship to assist with casting off the mooring lines or securing them to bollards, buoys and/or mooring posts. The port workers are out and about day and night, come rain, wind or storm. But even on fine days, the port of Rotterdam carries on as usual. The seagoing vessels keep arriving and departing; the rowers keep sailing through the port on their way to the next assistance call. Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the hustle and bustle of ports. Port cities are often bustling centres 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 from the ships, and workers busy at their tasks. 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 yield impressive and inspiring images.
