Can I Go For A Ride - MISSISSAUGA EXPRESS

This photograph was a test shot to fine tune my exposure (it's a little over exposed) and get set up for a long exposure to try and get a tug (tug blur) to go through the photograph. I have been trying to get this effect in my night photography as you don't see the tug as a whole, but you do see some of the lights and glow from the tug. I got about half of the tug in this shot (right side of the photo, kind of lost in the containers) to test the look and framing. Near the end of the exposure a Harbor Seal or Sea Lion (I can't tell) jumped up on the bulbous bow and posed for me. Right after the shutter closed he jumped off and was gone. Sometimes photography is all about luck. Even though the ship and Seal have motion blur I still like the photograph overall.

 

Thanks for looking-L.C.
