Your artistic skills spoke well! <br />& Sunshine, I agree with you too. An interesting thought. The water looks like a satin something quite opposite to the being tough on oneself you related to.

The lights from the ET really glow against the darkness. And the water looks so satin-y.<br />I do believe that being tough on yourself is okay, especially if it causes you to look harder or produce more or whatever. Just keep trying, I guess.Sunshinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-34858212759594473532013-01-24T23:43:32.592+01:002013-01-24T23:43:32.592+01:00@CN "The IMC sounds like all people are as sm...@CN "The IMC sounds like all people are as smart and cool as you, Eric!!"

In fact to tell you the truth I was really disappointed last night because I was looking forward to taking great photos during this trip (I even went on the top of the boat which had me scold by one of the crew members!) and really did not like the result. <br /><br />Like Kim noticed it, it is very hard to take good shots in the dark - on a moving vehicle on top of that!<br /><br />This one is OK I guess, but just OK ;-)Ludehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288299480922682837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-70337781766650613152013-01-24T17:36:57.381+01:002013-01-24T17:36:57.381+01:00Kim is right—sometimes conditions are just less th...Kim is right—sometimes conditions are just less than ideal. Personally, I think you did very well under the circumstances, and who doesn't love a picture of even some of the ET all lit up at night and reflected in the Seine? Give yourself a break, dude!

I share your pain and found out through experience that a fast exposure and making use of available light is key. Keep trying various settings and you will find the one that works well for your camera. I bet someone has a tutorial up on the web with tried and true tips for shooting during a night cruise. <br />I love how low on the water your POV was. Most shots like this are from a top deck. Perhaps you were on a boat like the one pictured across the way (nice classy old wooden one)?<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-26218905412817128752013-01-24T05:23:07.199+01:002013-01-24T05:23:07.199+01:00We went on that tour too 'Les Bateaux Mouches&...We went on that tour too 'Les Bateaux Mouches'.
