Boat Parade
Speaking of boats... I don't believe there is a more humbling experience as a photographer than trying to photograph a Christmas Boat Parade ;)
We sat on some lawnchairs on the Wharf's floating dock at Stargazer's stern.
(The Wharf's dock is really quite stable for a floating dock, by the way.)
I couldn't being myself to accept 3200 ISO + on the shots but that seemed to be the sweet spot for reducing motion blur. They were clipping along pretty good.
Here, I used a boot flash and some zoom -- some cropping, some contrast addition to try to reconstruct what my eyes observed. The other 50 shots, all trash! :)
Photography aside, the lighted boat parade was an awesome experience. We made some hot chocolate for the kids and had a grand ol' time!
Thank you Brody for telling me about this!
