Tugboat Roundup 2024

An event I look forward to every September is the parade of tugboats at the start of Waterford's Tugboat Roundup. The galleries from past years are no longer online since I switched hosting sites. I used a wide variety of gear over the years including longer telephoto zoom lenses. This year it was the 35mm and 85mm lenses only.

The organizers could make photos better by scheduling the arrival of the boats an hour earlier as by the time 6PM rolls around, the entrance to the harbor is mostly shadow and the patchy sun limits the variety of shots possible.

I have a gallery at https://www.trulandphotography.com/TBR2024 and here are some samples with both lenses.
