Sailors, originally uploaded by Adam Shutterclick.

Harbour Ghosts

More than a little serendipitous, I had set a longer exposure to let the ship in the background of this shot light up in the picture and as it was taken some sailors heading back to their ship for the night wandered past, oblivious to me and my camera.

The long exposure gave them a great ghostly look and I ended up with a shot with a lot more character than I would have if they hadn’t been passing.

Right place at the right time!
