SF Bay Challenge

I ran into a guy who has an idea for a photography business shooting boats and people around the bay from his small boat.

He isn't a photographer hence my involvement, as well as another local photographer Mia.

The challenge was to see how difficult it would be to get sharp images while bouncing around on a 20 foot boat. It is very challenging! Everything is moving, you and the subject in all kinds of directions.

We left the dock around 11:00 AM and returned about 3:30 so the sun was high in the sky.

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

    Yup, that's why Nikon invented active mode in VR

    Wow these are great shots, especially since your bouncing around on a boat in the bay. #4 is just plain beautiful.

    Good job on these Sam thumb.gif

    #4 is especially appealing, I only wish the building top wasn't clipped.
