Tug Boat

I think I'm getting a hang of this photography stuff and photo re touching.

Nice color. A blurred background would have capped off a good pic with more of a focus on the tug.

Really? Man there is a lot to consider and thank you very much Scout7.

scout, for that he would have to be very far back with a big zoom lens

you guys could buy me a big zoom lens and i could re shoot it

RadAL, what kind of zoom lens?

any over like 200mm (dunno about macro)... the reason you have to be far back is cause you have to show depth... and if you zoomed in on say an object from far away (go to the macro sub forum and you'll see) the object will be focused and anything behind it will be very blurred.

RadAl, Very and thank you for the help.

Or at the same distance and focal length with a wider aperture.

Cd, good idea and thanks for giving me the idea when I re shoot next summer.


By the way you guys should see my early work compared to these I've been shooting lately.

You have some interesting boats there, nice reflection too. Perhaps cropping the boat on the right hand side out and also a slightly lesser crop on the left hand side would make the tug the focus of interest and then you wouldn't need to buy a big expensive zoom

good point Bruno.
