Each morning after the crew meets to go over the day’s activities and assignments many of them are transported to their worksites by Lee the crew boat operator. I have learned that Lee has a good handle on what is taking place at all the pier locations on the river, he know when something significant is going to happen and often directs me to interesting activities throughout the day.
I chose this image to show Lee’s boat arriving to carry the workers to their jobs for the day. I liked the way the boat’s wake smoothly rippled across the river and the contrast of the safety vests on the workers with the deep shades of blue and green in the sky and river. Seeing the scale of the project is always difficult but whenever there are people in the scene it becomes clear what a monumental undertaking this is.
I shot this in HDR and processed it using NIK HDR Efex Pro 2 and Aperture 3.
Wonderful image!! Love the values and composition!!
Thank you Ellen.

Thanks Again Maggie, I really liked the way the light played across the water and illuminated the sky.
