A PHOTOGRAPHER'S VIEW OF THE HARBOUR

Some atmospheric pictures taken over the years

By Derek Longly

Any harbour is an interesting, even fascinating, place at most times and perhaps this is more so as dusk falls, in the evening and at night; or on those rarer occasions when there are unusual weather conditions which affect the quality of light. 

At any of those times it can achieve an almost magical atmosphere where colours and shapes are softened and light and shade can provide a different aspect to an everyday vessel. Especially is this the case when it is otherwise surrounded by the velvet darkness of a summer night. 

These are just a few of those occasions I have encountered that have encouraged me to capture them on film.
