The bugs were eating me alive while I waited for him to leave his perch on the mooring ball.

Nice pictures, Harley. Say, what gear did you use to get those? What lens, filter(s), f stop, etc. And, of course, were those duped? Metering through haze on water on a sunny day is difficult sometimes.
 
Sony A900 Body(Full-Frame processor); 18-200mm digital lens. ISO 400 because of the heavy fog. In order to avail a fast shutter speed under the fog conditions the aperture was somewhere around f5.6 of f6.1, though with the fog I didn't have to be too concerned about depth of field. No filter. That was no "haze on water on a sunny day;" it was "thick of fog and flat-arse calm." Duped??? About the only post processing was some selective cropping.

With 24.6 megapixels to play I tend to shoot fairly wide-angle. Then I can crop while still having clarity. (The scene was the Georgetown public landing which usually has not many boats staying for lengthy periods, and generally small open boats which are often secured to floats owned by our summer residents along the shore line."

Thanks for the information. I forgot you went to digital.

Thick fog is when you can't see the bow from the poop. I know it was fog in your pics but there was some sun filtering through so that made me think it was a thin layer.
 
Fowl to tower...
Tower, go ahead...
Advise incoming flights that braking action is poor with some hydroplaning...
