Small boat art

[AllAboutMe]

My contribution to the world of art. I don't pretend to be good, but I'm enthusiastic!! ;D

I could not figure where to put this. Here seems correct...

I just got back from a short fast ( car) trip to LA . If I had more time I would have got hold of Skipper Dave. Next time...Anyway, this is a day at the beach in the town of Redondo Beach. Sat morning. Just after breakfast I was feeling the ocean before heading inland... There were at least 5 sailboats heading out...

Also I needed to test Photobucket   ;)

Awesome. ;D

Lovely Painting Laura !!


The photo of the light and your painting are both great, I can see why you were inspired to paint that scene.

[LauraG]

Thank you, Zen. Looking at it again sure makes me want to get back out there.

A pic I took this morning shortly after dawn, just for the heck of it. I don't know if it qualifies as art, and it sure didn't take as much work as Laura's paintings, but it is something to look at at least...:) From the 'sprit, looking aft, of an older Herreshoff here at the marina...

Killed 2 'skeeters in the cabin last night, and the no-see-ums are back with a vengeance this morning, despite the bugspray planes flying 2 days this past week. All signs that Spring has sprung - 'sposed to be almost 80* today! Yahoooo! ;D

Ah- a bronze cranse iron  ;D

Just got two of those in the mail yesterday, to be installed on the new bow sprit I'm building for a boat in Florida  :)

[LauraG]

Cool. Love that perspective.

Here's another (there's 3 more in my "Misc" album in the Gallery). Shot this one last night, we had a full moon. My first experience with long exposures and low light. Came out surprisingly well! (At least, I think they did! lol) ;D

[Zen]

I like it. One can almost hear the quiet. The tender on the dock makes it unqiue.
Good eye Capt.

Thanks, Zen! :) Here's another -

Great Picts Kurt.   :o  I did a deep ohhhhhh when I saw it.  Gorgeous moon last night.  I kept going out on the porch last night to take a look at it.  You captured a wonderfully lovely serene feeling.   I am going to use it as my new screen saver.

WOW! What speed are you shooting the shots? Are you just using a tripod and open shutter?  I still shoot with an antique manual SLR Minolta.

CapnK, your vison inspired me to have some creative playtime with your photo during some quiet time at work...

Maybe we can get Laura to paint it!!   ;)  Whatcha say Laura??

[starcrest]

you'd be surprized at how much  light is reflected off the  moon(nite  jumps are  made during  fullmoons--ya  can see  the ground pure  as daylite---jus'hoo  turned  out the lites???).especially  at low angles  above  the horison  the amount of water vapor in the cross section  of  the atmosphere only  magnifies it,hence---shorter  exposure times  and  less  motion. (x-ray  techs specialize in that stuff)I have to  transpose  some  of the slides that  I  have into fotos.I  dug  up  some  slides of a "ring of  fire eclipse" that  occurred in  1990  on  the  return of  sc2.I was  at  the  rite place  at the  rite time------also some  wave  fotos that  will cause you to change  your underwear.....I will upload these  whence  I am  situated in my new residence--(no---its not a cell block)

While I think it would be great fun to paint that scene, I don't see a darn thing wrong with the photograph. Great job, Kurt!
