The reflection of the Memorial Bridge can be seen in the Piscataqua River with some fiery trees appearing behind Harbor Place and some trees in the light of the sunset with some very cool clouds.

A new freighter arrived in town recently, the Jin Qiang of Panama. The ship closely resembles another that I featured not long ago in a shot taken from the Memorial Bridge (see post HERE). With the sand & salt piles lower recently, a few ships were due to arrive to increase the stockpiles as the winter winds down. In the shot above you can see how empty the hull is getting as the vessel is standing tall out of the water. Enjoyed snapping a couple quick shots on my way home to eat lunch today.

Another entry in the series The Doors of Portsmouth. This beautiful yellow home located in the South End features some nice granite steps leading to a cool door with a diamond window. I’m not up to speed on the technical terminology for the architecture, but I know that I enjoy it.
It was so warm out after work on Monday evening that I decided to watch a freighter come up the river and enjoy the sights of the waterfront for a while (and I wasn’t even wearing any gloves). Quite a beautiful night. I was particularly digging the reflection of the Eugenia Moran in the Piscataqua. This 3-exposure composition had a nice long exposure for the third shot so I was able to get some nice tones in the reflective water. The Decks were looking pretty sharp in preparation for their opening next month! More to follow on that later in the week.
If you’re reading this – you need to do both of us a favor. For yourself, you need to go enjoy the guest post I did over at the blog of fellow photographer Brian Matiash. For me, please go visit Brian and thank him for giving me such an awesome opportunity to open a new series for him that features fellow photographers in an open forum setting….I had my choice of topics to write about, and it became immediately clear that I had to incorporate Portsmouth as a theme. This great city is primarily responsible for getting me involved and passionate about photography all over again since buying my first digital camera last year. I hope you enjoy the post…and more importantly – go check out Brian’s work (it is stunning). Brian always captures the fascinating textures in everyday scenes that we all take for granted…I’m hoping to host Brian on a photowalk in the very near future – stay tuned and I’ll keep you posted!!
