Jangsa Harbour

On a misty summer morning, I walked to Jangsa Harbour in Sokcho with my Nikon Z50II and kit lens. I went there before seven in the morning to avoid the heat. 

I've photographed the boat trailers and the marina before, but couldn't get any good result. I'm happy with this picture, maybe because I simplified the scene by shooting vertically and having just one trailer in the foreground.

A boat for fishing tours. Looking at this picture now, I wonder if I shouldn't crop the bottom of the frame to cut out that bit of distracting rope. Something to consider.

I've photographed these boats tied up together before, but on this morning there were some great clouds and fog in the far background.

The harbour is formed by a couple of breakwaters and this is the view looking out to sea from the north breakwater. If you sailed in a straight line from here you would end up somewhere in northern Japan.

The more I use the Z50II, the more I like it. The size is great for walking about, the tiny 24-75mm equivalent kits lens is all I need, and I'm satisfied with how the pictures look. I've recently cancelled my Adobe Lightroom subscription and I'm using Nikon's free NX Studio software. It's a little clunky and slow, but the results are what you would get from the camera. A new addition to the software is a film grain simulation, which removes the too clean look of digital photographs.

Post script:

Cropped version. I like the removal of the distracting rope, but now the boat is in a less interesting position. What do you think?
