One of the best things I like about Houston is - driving down to
Galveston and taking the ferry across to Crystal Island. Two reasons - its very naturally peaceful and its free. A 20 minute ride takes you from Galveston to Port Bolivar, which is on the Crystal Island. An added advantage of the ferry ride is that you can take your car on the ferry, drive it off the ferry and roam the island. The
ferry rides have been offered free of cost since 1930, and the view from the upper deck is magnificent. If you like feeding low flying seagulls, this is the place to be. Here is proof, enjoy!
Tested here is the Kodak 100 TMX Black & White film, results of which are quite impressive on prints, these are low quality home-made scans of prints and barely do justice to the clarity on print. Overcast afternoon rendered low-light and shots were taken at full open aperture of 4.0 and low speeds of 1/60-1/30 using a 70-300mm telephoto lens, thus losing depth and incurring some shake.
