French Creek Harbour

[Brian L]

French Creek Harbour is a working commercial fishing harbour and processing plant on Vancouver Island. Its about a five minute drive from our home there and I love getting up early to photograph pre-dawn and sunrise there. Every time I go, the scene and atmosphere changes, even day to day. I find commercial trawlers way more interesting to shoot than big boys toys, although it does accommodate a few sport fishing and sailboats. Here are three examples, completely different results. The second one is a multishot pano cropped to 65x24, with minor content aware fill to complete the corners lost in the stitch.

Preference? I know the one I prefer.

If you head north on Vancouver Island on your way to, say, Tofino, pick up the fresh sockeye sides or halibut fillets at the fish shop. Fantastic.

Thanks, that’s my favourite too. Moody atmosphere.

First choice is the second by a long shot, followed by first, then third.

Thanks. And it’s mine too - can’t beat fog for atmosphere.
