Pilot Boat Pier at Twilight, Long Exposure

This long exposure twilight photograph captures the Bay Pier at Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County, Florida. The pier serves as the home base for the pilot boats that guide ships in and out of Tampa Bay and into the Gulf of Mexico. A yellow building at the end of the pier glows with warm light, reflecting across the calm water. The sky transitions from deep blue to soft orange near the horizon, while a distant boat adds depth to the scene. Shot on a Nikon D610 with an 18–35mm lens at 25mm, ƒ/16, 25s, ISO 100.
