Folkestone Harbour

This time I took a tripod with me! I also took a small Sheltie on an extendable lead which was a very big mistake. She was extremely bored with the whole proceedings and spent her time at the harbour either trying to investigate what was at the edge of the harbour wall (I was scared she'd fall over!) / weaving in and out of the tripod legs / trying to trip me up. This session took a lot longer than I'd planned ...

Worth the effort! Nice pic! I have taken my dog with me when I am trying to take pictures so I can relate.

[Angie]

Fabulous!

[Peter H]

Another lovely Folkestone shot.

[Suzanne]

Would this be Tally by any chance? This is a fabulous capture, lovely colours caught for a night shot

[Carole Sandford]

Sounds a bit like a scene from some slap stick comedy! I can just picture it! Nice shot.

[Jessika Panteleios]

Wonderful night shot with great light.

[Karly]

The dog issues sound very familiar. I feel guilty if I don't take my sweet dog but sometimes she just doesn't get the finer points of photography:)
This is a wonderful night photo. Love the boats being in the foreground.

[Joan Robillard]

Goodnight shot

[Connie Little]

Wonderful capture of colours and reflections in this great night shot.

[Islandgirl]

Lovely night shot, well worth the effort!

[Rachel]

Oh yes, the exposure is so much better, with the blacks blacker, and the lights popping.

[Diana]

Nicely done.

[Marnie]

Sounds like a typical dog to me. Maggie's a pain in the posterior when I'm really trying to get a more tricky shot. But the shot was well worth any hassle, and I'm sure your Sheltie didn't suffer any harm. Fab photo, sharp and full of detail.

[Sally Ings]

Lovely night scene. Always fun and games having a dog along to a photo shoot.

[Babs]

Fabulous night scene. the tripod did its job perfectly. I love the tiny boats bobbing on the water.

Note to self. Never take a dog with me when I am taking photos. ha ha.

[Richard Brown]

Great night shot the tripod certainly helps. Although I have an img of your dog running off tangled up in all your camera gear... :)

[haskar]

Well done.

[FBailey]

@suzanne234 Strangely enough it was Sky! Tally would have been a real pain :)

[FBailey]

@rjb71 It could well have happened till I secured the extendable!

[FBailey]

@golftragic So like children - they have to go right to the edge if a drop to peer over. Me? I'm 6ft away!

[Brennie B]

O i do love this..i just ove harbours anyway.love all the lights..fave for me.our dog jusy want go Eveywhere with us too !

[Casablanca]

Harbours are places of potential adventure to me. I always want to know where the boats are going, who is on them, why..... Haven't been to Folkestone in ages, must remedy that sometime.

[sally agnew]

Great lighting , love all the boats and how they are lit up :)

[Merrelyn]

Nice shot, you were brave to have a small dog and a tripod anywhere near each other. It could have ended very badly :)

[Sue]

I like this better than the other one, but note the ISO is the same, quite high at 6400. I think you could have lowered the ISO and used a slower shutter speed to get a less grainy image. I might sound as though I know what I am talking about, but will stand to be corrected!!!

[carol white]

A lovely nighttime capture

[FBailey]

@suesouthwood Thanks Sue, I need all the help I can get, my photography skills(?) are very much winging it ...

[Mandy]

Great night shot - what is it they say - never work with animals and children. Our dogs bet bored too unless they are centre of attention of course!

[Kas]

Excellent night time shot - sounds as though it was not without its challenges.

[Catherine]

A great result - I can just picture your lovely sheltie 'helping'!!!!

[Pyrrhula]

A great night view and capture.

[John Sutton]

Great capture 🙂

[Catherine Otley]

Wonderful night shot! Really like the way the boats in the foreground (forewater?) are so colourful. Glad you had company!!

[JohnCB]

Great shot. Exposure is always tricky for night shots. Looks as if it was taken from almost the same spot as my (much less challenging) daylight one on 14/11. Folkestone fishing boats are really photogenic.

[Kathy]

Nice night shot. I like the boats are illuminated.
