110331_070324_3314414 Preparations For A Wet Morning Run (Thu 31 Mar)

Circular Quay Pier 4, Sydney, NSW

Storms came through yesterday, with some rain persisting through the night and into morning.

The Sydney Harbour First Fleet class ferry Borrowdale is lit up in preparation for her first run of the day, as the lights of other vessels stand out against the grey of the harbour and the clouds. I extended this shot's foreground to include the reflection of Borrowdale's lights on the wet pavement of the waterfront.

It was rather fortunate that I postponed my trip until the later train this morning, as this time of day can offer some useful contrasts when overcast; particularly when there are lights about.

I love photos in low light, this one is particularly appealing for the wet effect, if I can express my unrequested opinion, I would have cropped it on the right.

I really like the mood in this (from the warmth and dryness of my computer desk). The lights on the ships provide
a nice touch of warmth in a predominantly cold cityscape.
