But wait, there’s more…

My previous post did not cover all the many things can go photographically wrong on a sailboat. When the surface that supports you is under constant movement, photo deletion is a part of life.
I’m quick to delete in camera, but I don’t get them all. (I love my D50, but the size of its LCD screen leaves something to be desired. I have to zoom in the verify photo sharpness, and I don’t always catch the unsalvageable. Wait, what’s that? I hear you D90…soon we’ll be together with your 3 inch LCD screen, in camera straightening and red eye fixing. Be patient…and stop calling out to me…I can’t afford you right now!!)
I’m pretty dependent on my auto focus, my days of 20/20 vision are long over. Auto focus is a big help, but sometimes I overestimate it’s ability to capture a moment. So I end up with blurry photos…especially in low light. Sometimes I look at the LCD screen and think “Ooooo, I think I got it this time” and then later find out I really got this:
Boat movement can not only cause our boat parts to inadvertantly make their way into photos, they can also cause me to “lose” parts of other boats. This has taught me I should work harder to not zoom in so closely. I try to leave some room for error…or sudden movement. See examples below:
^This boat is NOT sinking
And here’s a final photo showing my never ending optimism about what I can do while taking photos on the boat.
I call it simply “Full Moon Beauty-Captured View from a Sailboat”
