I'm sure a few people on this forum went on a Canal Cruise while visiting Amsterdam. Not so many people know the Amsterdam Harbour is also very scenic, especially if you're a fan of shipping and industrial activity. Last Friday I went on a Harbour Cruise operated by Stromma. It was kind of a private cruise as a friendly English couple and I were the only passengers. In fact, we were outnumbered by the crew! This series was shot with an Olympus E-M10II + Panasonic 12-32mm f3.5-5.6 lens and Nikon D5500 + Nikkor 70-200mm f4 lens. Olympus images processed from RAW in Lightroom, Nikon images from Jpeg in Lightroom (D5500 RAW's not supported in my version of Lightroom). 1. Our ship for the cruise 2. River Cruise Ships (I'm sure Mike G can tell us more about these kind of ships) 3. More ships moored at the Piet Heinkade 4. View on Filmmuseum EYE and A'DAM Tower 5. Detail of A"DAM Tower (this image was shot from the opposite side of the river IJ). At the right the swing of the "Lookout Experience" 6. Loading or unloading of bulk carrier 7. Amsterdam Marina 8. Damen Shiprepair 9. Former Russian submarine, at one time meant to be converted to party boat. That plan didn't work out 10. Amstel Botel 11. Tugboat, in the background Calvin Klein office en Moxy hotel 12. Lots of activity, great to watch and photograph 13. Fertiliser Factory 14. 15. Silodam
