    Hi GaliaG,
    glad you enjoy them as I was going for the searcher as the catamaran was a bonus. :-)
    glad you enjoy that and point it out for me to learn.
    thank you for a very insightful review and viewing.

    Hi Dale,
    glad you enjoy the position they are is as the jetty is right in front of me below the concrete walkway.
    glad you enjoy a few things of detail I have captured and not cutting the biggest antenna off.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review,

Great photo. Love the way you have brought this boat to the forefront with the smaller boat in the background. Great clarity, focus, detail, dof, and framing. Nice work. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Hi LadyMarie,
    Glad you enjoy the shot of a calm morning as the searcher sets out for a day trip.
    glad you enjoy them both in the sight as they keep the one island as a buffer as you would have to turn right to get to where I live on the bay.
    thank you for your insight on it as I was still new taking this shot.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

A very nice shot in a great nautical setting. I like the placement of the Searcher and the anchored catamaran in the background. The details are sharp and the overcast weather is attractive.

    Hi michiganmike,
    glad you enjoy it as it is a calm day and a no wake zone so 5mph so east to catch a slower shot.
    glad you enjoy both settings as I walked back from the jetty as a few bigger charters left already.
    it looked like it was going to be a great day as there was no clouds as the sun rose behind me.
    hank you for viewing and your kind review.

    Hi MKFlood,
    Glad you enjoy it as I used it for the med site as I tried to look up so much stuff still pretty new to the computer as well.
    glad you enjoy the capture of it all as I was still new at taking them but enjoyed the way it came out and just to the tip of the one antenna.
    as you need it when you are 40/ 50 miles off the coast after hitting the shelf and well over 500 ft of water.
    glad you enjoy it, and think so as it was a shot some time ago.
    as I will try my best learning from you all and what catches the viewers attention more.
    thank you for your kind words and detailed review.
    always,

Technically a wonderful shot - the exposure has played out to me grandly. Love the color and the lighting, offers up a feeling of enjoyment without wicked sunlight! :-)) Great focus as well with the best detail. I could never do that many hours out there though...total of 22???? Wow. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi momentsofjoy,
    glad you enjoy it as it was an early shot of me using the cannon as it was about 2 months old.
    glad you enjoy it so well as I basically used auto for the first year and a half before playing with the dials.
    yes the sun was to bright but was the morning of the inlet shot I have up just about 1000ft away from there.
    the trip is about 22 /24 as it is faster coming in as he hits the gas but a slower ride our depends on the seas.
    it is a nice time but pricey but I took 2 trips as my twin did 4 but is a nice time if you like fishing and out so far.
    thank you for your kind review.
    always,

I like the angle you used for this shot, Ron, showing the boat heading out for the day with the smaller boats in the background adding depth to the view. Very good lighting and focus. Great composition. Suzanne

    Hi Susanne,
    glad you enjoy it as I am about 9 foot above the waterline going up the last ramp to the lighthouse.
    glad you enjoy viewing it and the boats porting to take a break before headed somewhere else.
    glad you enjoy it as many use that spot for Moring so close to the inlet and use a small dingy/or other small craft to get supplies. glad you enjoy it as the light was bright enough as the sun was up but behind me as I walked back in.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


This is a nice shot of the boat. Does't look like a bright sunny day though! You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

    Hi sehadri,
    glad you enjoy viewing the early start as most leave by 7am.
    the sun is behind me as you can see some glow on the boat.
    as back then I always tried for sunrises for the first 2 years before trying sunsets.
    glad you enjoy it just the way it is as I did not know how to use the camera yet.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

    Hi Sean,
    Sorry a bit late as I had to take some time off for the body.
    Glad you enjoy it as I caught them starting to hit the inlet as I walked back off the jetty.
    as this was an early shot for the cannon but have on my other sight as it's name had me as I looked up many med things and get ready for my next round of radiation pills.
    yes it was a very calm day as the tides where not changing and having more current.
    it is more fun being on it and hope for a good days catch. :-)
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Excellent choice of subject.
An interesting initial impact.
Always give more space on top than at the bottom in instances like this.
Subtle illumination. Sharply focused. Good perspective & long depth of field... Thanks for sharing...

    Hi Dx,
    glad you enjoy it as it was the multi color sun day and shot of old barney as it takes a bit to walk back.
    glad you enjoy it as it is a nice small charter and sleeps 12 for the longer trips.
    thank you for your insight as I try to get pictures or crop the older ones.
    thank you for your insightful kind review.
