At the dock... opinions?

///Matt · Jan 21, 2007

I don't know if I like this pic, or if it's worth anything... It's the second picture I've taken at a dock, that for some reason strikes me as worthwhile, but the more I look at it the more I wonder why. What do YOU think?

looks neat

Sw1tchFX · Jan 22, 2007

yeah, it does look neat. what is it exactly?

///Matt · Jan 22, 2007

dunno... it's a dual purpose thing... lamp post and... ? has a hose, might be water, I really don't know. lol.

I was taking pictures in a marina at night, using reflections and whatnot, and this picture caught my attention.

I don't know why I like it, but I do! lol

Well, when you are on a boat, you only have a certain amount of fresh water on board (as much as fits into your fresh water tank), so when you moor over night it is always good to be able to fill up that tank. I guess that is what the hose is for.

I like the point of view you had to take this as well as the soft bit of light that also makes visible the next jetty.

There were hardly any boats there, were there?

i cant see photobucket pics at school...

///Matt · Jan 22, 2007

actually, there were boats at almost every mooring! the line at the far right of the pic is actually the next boats gunwale. ( I'm pretty sure I misspelled that, but hey.)

i'd take a lower angle, and fix the white balance for proper colors. looks too yellow.

///Matt · Jan 22, 2007

That's actually a yellow light, it's accurate. =)

I agree about the lower angle, but I couldn't get one, since I was against a fence, and if I tried to go forward I'd have been swimming. =)

I dig.
the yellow light is fine, but it casts on the deck and that bother me just a little... Although its true light its a little unnatural.
And ya, don't go swimming with a camera.
