Tugs and Hands on Deck on the North Sea Canal

A passenger ship moored ashore. Tugs assist the bulk carrier on the North Sea Canal. The crew on the bow of the huge freighter en route to the IJmuiden locks. The port of Amsterdam is always busy with sea-going barges and tugs. A sailor's profession is impressive to see.

Port photography is a fascinating form of photography that focuses on capturing the activity in ports. Port cities are often bustling centres of commerce and industry, where ships, trucks and trains move back and forth 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.
