The Port Jeff Ferry


We went exploring yesterday, out to Port Jefferson. One of the main attractions for me is the coming and going of the huge automobile ferries that travel between Port Jefferson and Bridgeport, Connecticut. While the women visited the shops, Jim and I headed down to the ferry dock to watch one of the boats load up. Naturally I had my camera at the ready. I was playing with the shapes and angles. If you have never seen these boats before, the front ends of the ferries lift up so cars can unload and unload. In this case, the raised bow adds an element that is confusing, perhaps. But it was the people on the upper deck that finished out the composition.
