River Humber from The Deep

2nd September 2007

The viewing areas around "The Deep" are fast becoming favourites with me for those occasions when I just want to photograph passing coastal trade for the upriver ports and berths.

Access to The Deep is very good and much easier to get to than the Pier, even on a pushbike!

This is another morning shoot as the ones that precede it. I got down there around 8 and setup my gear and poured myself a drink form my flask :)

Lighting was very today giving some of images a colour cast. There was a bright band of orange at the top of my images. This was evident through the viewfinder and could even be seen with the naked eye. It did make a difference to my shots. This is a prime example of the problems of shooting on the River Humber at times.

Vessels out and about were the THEA MARIJKE, WARBER, PEWSUM, ANUND, ARCO DIJK, PRIDE OF BRAILA, ALDEBARAN

It was interesting for me to see the ANUND still trading under that name. She was one of the earliest vessels that I can remember seeing from when I started this shipspotting hobby back in the mid/late 80s. Since then she has kept the
same name throughout which is no mean feat as some vessels change their names more frequently than I change my socks!
