As Night Sets In on the Piscataqua

The spring and summer months provide a spectacular view of the sunset from Portsmouth’s Decks.  It’s always a fun place to have dinner or a drink when the weather is warm, especially with a front row seat to the beautiful sunsets we enjoy during the summer.  I obviously love to shoot the dramatic sunsets, but I don’t as often take the time to capture a night shot once the sun has set.  This dusk time shot features a freighter in port in the distance, the tugboats, a hint of daylight on the horizon, the Memorial Bridge cranes and the Middle and Piscataqua River bridges.

Tugboats and Clouds on the Piscataqua

A simple and moody shot of the famed Tugboats and The Old Ferry Landing as seen from The River House’s deck.  I’m eagerly anticipating the warm weather’s return so that I can eat food outside and enjoy this gorgeous waterfront spot.

A Bridgeless Waterfront

The waterfront is undergoing a permanent change.  The Memorial Bridge continues to look different every day, and this particular afternoon was the first chance I had to take a photo from one of my favorite spots – documenting the disappearance of the bridge’s profile from the quintessential Moran Towing tugboat shot.

Tugboats & Crane Barge

This calm scene with its ominous sky represents the calm before the “storm” of activity when the crane will become active in removing the Memorial Bridge towers later this month.

Winter in Portsmouth

Winter has finally arrived here in Portsmouth.  During lunchtime, I went for a walk through the sharp winds and the plentiful snow.  I visited my favorite spots and captured this tugboat image with the flakes flying in the moody scene. I’ve got a tradition going with myself, so when there is a respectable snowstorm moving through the area – I make a point to capture the Moran Towing tugs in the rugged setting.

Also, please don’t forget to swing by the Kennedy Gallery to say hello tonight (Friday March 2nd) between 5 and 8pm!

The Tugboat & The Bridge

A slightly new take on a familiar scene. I’ve been trying to learn a few new tricks to keep things fresh, and this is one of my first attempts at the new look.  Details are heightened, and all of this is from a single exposure – a change from the bracketed sequence that I use more often.  Subtle yet still punchy. Any image with the Moran Towing tugboats is good in my book – and a little glimpse of the bridge completes the scene.

Tugboats | Rowan M. McAllister

The tugboats will soon be getting much more action than they have during the warmer months of the year.  Also – the platform I love to shoot from will be off limits once the weather gets more rugged and wintry, so I’m always sure to get out to snap an inviting scene when the lighting presents itself.

The Rowan M. McAllister joined two of the standard fixtures in the Moran Towing fleet last week, with a taller deck and a different look than its counterparts flanking its sides.
