Load-Out, a photo from Zuid Holland, Sud

Photographer's Note

This is the seventh industrial shot, taken at the East Docks of Vlaardingen, near Rotterdam. It’s a bit abstract. It’s a stainless tanker (again) standing between a margarine plan (again, but an other then the previous tanker shot) and a mobile harbour crane.
On my way home I sometime make a detour looking for TE bounty. I found this combination striking.

Ceci est le septième coup industriel, pris aux Bassins de l'est de Vlaardingen, près de Rotterdam. C'est un piece abstracte - un camion-citerne (encore) se tenant entre un usine de margarine (encore, mais un autre) et une grue de port mobile.

‘Load Out’ is a Jackson Browne song from the ‘Running on Empty’ album (1977).

Deze foto moet zeer goed bekeken worden Bert, uw nota help daar veel bij want deze is goed, de kleuren zijn zeer naturel zelfs de inox delen zijn mooi te onderscheiden. Goed werk Bert.

This is an image that demands that the eye and mind do some work, even with the description you provide. That is not a bad thing, of course, since there are delights to be found in the exploration, including crisp edges, well saturated colors, reflections, angles, bold lines. One could say this image is a feast for the eyes. I find the composition quite satisfying, right down to the way you've framed it. And I want to climb those stairs!

The most abstract one in your series yet, but that's a very good thing, Bert. A fine way of teasing the brain with this unique combination of industrial shapes, lines, angles and reflective elements. Sharpness and colors are very good yet again. Great stuff.

Indeed a very abstract one, an industrial artwork with really fitting colours !

Hi Bert, it's so abstract I can hardly make any chocolate out of it ;-))) I think I'm beginning to see how the picture is composed. Yes, I finally see how it's composed, the reflection made me look the wrong way.
So, after all, I think it's a very strong one. The reflection is really nice (once you recognise what you see), and the colors are nice and strong.

This is one with nice contrasts. The shiny, reflective, surface below and the heavier, solid, looking surface above. And both are captured nicely. Very crisp and very clear color. I particularly like the reflection in the tanker. Everything is stretched out and yet is so clear. Like those paintings you have to see at an angle to see properly. Well seen and photographed.

Excellent shot again Bert. Very good compo and framing I see here. Excellent colours opposition orange/blue and wide screen reflecton on the tanker. The three very different elements being reflected in layers make it really great. Tight crop also, very good catch. Excellent work Bert.

Pour ce qui est du cadrage je doit avouer que cela n'as pas du etre evident pour ce type d'image ou les percpectve oblige a visionner plusieur fois avant de se décider.
Le rendu des détails est superbe et l'image est bien nette.
Bien vu un bon coup d'oeil Bert

Fine composition of clear lines and colours, together with wonderful light, Bert! Very good decision for using the blue sky for background - it brings gorgeous contrast in colours. Very good job!
