Pass Christian, Mississippi Marina

This is the Pass Christian Marina where all the fishing boats dock in this section of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  All these photos were taken using a tripod and the HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging technique of merging 3 bracketed photos together.

Before I left Detroit I told friends my farthest point south would be the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Turned out it was New Orleans. But I had decided before I left that the Mississippi Gulf Coast would be my last destination. So after I photo'd this I started my drive back. It was late afternoon so I still had some daylight left. I drove US 90 to I-10 to I-65 till well after dark to a rest stop somewhere in Tennessee. I slept in the back of my car then, in the morning, continued up I-65 into southern Indiana.

Gulfport, Mississippi - Gulfport Marina

A few photos from the Gulfport, Mississippi marina. These were taken at the end of Day 6 of my trip south from Detroit. More photos will come of Long Beach and Pass Christian homes and marinas but I will show them out of shooting order so I can keep the locations together.

The structures you see are just short towers along the dock leading to the boats. I don't know that they're any more than that. Maybe some storage for marina maintenance. Going onto the walkway between boats is open only to boat owners so I didn't get close to them. See here for how they look from a distance at night in the sunset. They give the marina a distinct look.

All the photos on this page were taken using the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique. They don't really represent some of the spectacular examples you can find of HDR photos. They're just some of my experiments.

This photo (below) is from way out on the marina looking back. As you can see the water isn't deep here. There's some sand in the lower left of the photo.
