Golden Port Sunrise

Industrial harbor at the end of a rainstorm, container terminal quay with four ship-to-shore cranes lined up toward the horizon; broken cumulus clouds opening in the west, low sun lancing across the wet concrete apron and igniting the crane legs; stacked containers in mid-ground, puddles on the quay giving clean reflections of the crane structures; light harbor spray drifting across from the water. 24 mm, f/7.1, ISO 100, 1/250 s; circular polarizer for deeper sky and controlled sheen on wet concrete — don’t over-rotate (no rainbow banding). Negative: gray haze left uncorrected, over-clarity, halo edges around crane booms, metallic color shifts.
