Harbor-licious

March 28, 2011 by sunsetseasoul 22 Comments

I’m mesmerized with some of the shots I took yesterday at the harbor. There were some wispy clouds on the sky that created wonderful colors, plus the tide was low and there wasn’t much wind, so the water was calm and mirror-like (as much as we ever get here, in windy Argentina). Perfect weather conditions for shooting a sunset, even if I was wrapped in a cotton jacket and my snow parka (we don’t have snow here, but I dare say the winter wind is just as bad).

If you pay attention to the pier in these shots, you’ll notice a patch of color on it. That’s the puddle where I shot this pole. Isn’t the world magical?

The yachts on a row are an attempt at my weekly assignment for my Flickr group, themed “Repetition”. Originally, I wanted to shot them with the setting sun as a background, but I must confess I got so wrapped up in shooting the pier that I forgot about the yachts until it was too dark. Luckily, I took this one before moving on to the pier, and it turned out somewhat nice but also overexposed. So, I put to use some of the amazing textures I downloaded yesterday, and I sooo love the result. You can find the textures I used and a lot more at Shadowhouse Creations, a wonderful site where you can download some great textures for absolutely free.

A nice baby seagull posing for the camera. My father said they have a name, but I’m not a bird person; I just liked this little fellow that was floating by without a care in the world.

Reflections on the water and the mud. Last time I tried to capture the sun glittering on the sea, but the shots didn’t come out well. This time I like what I got.

I have some more pictures to edit, but it’s late and I’m tired, so they’ll have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks everyone for reading, liking and commenting my posts!
