After work I had to run downtown for something. Since I was only a few blocks from Budd Inlet I thought I'd stop by and take a few shots of the boats with their Christmas lights aglow. I got lucky. The boats were lit up and slowly cruising the waters in parade style. Not all of my photos came out. This was one of the better ones. I definitely need some practice when it comes to settings at night. I think this qualifies as my Watery Wednesday shot.

OH this is a wonderful photo and so clear. The few times I've taken night photos, they always come out blurry.

That is very good. I have a real problem with night shots. And Christmas or any lights just never come out. I applaud your effort. MB
ReplyDeleteI am glad it turned out. Mine probably wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out great! I love night shots, but haven't played around much with the new camera at night yet... I am really enjoying it though! I just need more time to get out and practice :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job on this night shot! It's really pretty. It sort of reminds me of when I was a kid and my Dad used to take us to see the aircraft carriers at Mayport Naval Base near Jacksonville all decorated with lights for Christmas, except they were a lot bigger!
ReplyDeleteI think this tells the story very well. It's fun to see the decorations at this time of the year. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWatery Wednesday for sure. You did well, Don.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd enjoy the annual Christmas boat parade in Fort Lauderdale...it's mostly a parade of yachts all decked out ... quite impressive.
BlossomFlowerGirl: Thank you, and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteSmall City Scenes: I'd rather be lucky than good any day! Thanks MB.
Abe: Don't cut yourself short. You know what you're doing Abe. I have great respect for your ability.
brian stout: Like I said, just keep shooting and shooting. You'll get comfortable with it in no time.
Lois: Aircraft carriers! I'll bet it takes a month to string the lights on one of those.
Gwendolyn: I appreciate that.
Jacob: I'll bet that parade of yachts is really something. If you go make sure and make a post out of it.
What wonderful night time photo - perfect control over the lighting! great job!
