a few piers here and there

Good Morning and I hope your weekend is starting well

For todays Post I thought i would go with a theme of Piers, there one thing I tend to take a lot of shots of with the places I go for walks.
Now I am sure we all have favorite spots or sorts of places we like to go for our walks, and as much as I do love nature and trails, going out early morning for most of my walks when it is still dark trails are not a good idea, but my favorite without a doubt is to walk anywhere where i am by the water, and living here in New Bedford, a lot of the water is by the coast, and I go to plenty of spots that have piers of some form or another

and one I go to often is Fort Taber park and I walk by this pier, mostly taking shots of it from the other side on the beach, , the white line in this shot was a fishing boat heading back in and for the long exposure you just see the trail of its lights

Not sure why I was using an aperture of F16 for this shot, well now that I think about it I probably do.
I was more than likely doing some light painting and I crank up the aperture to let less light in and hence be able to take longer exposures which I need for light painting, and forget to switch it for this shot

Another spot i often visit is the end of the harbor walk which you can see the hurricane barrier wall to the left, and get a shot of this pier next tot he boat ramp there

Now strictly speaking this is not a pier but a dock I guess it is the ramp/pier/dock heading out tot he docks at the POpes Island Marina

This is another pier/dock, behind the Cisco Breweries Restaurant, in summer the restaurant has a boat that can pick up customers who anchor their boats off the coats near here
