Our fave cruise ship "Silva" rarely anchored for the night, for her experienced captain preferred a solid mooring in some village harbor to any anchoring, whatever the weather forecast.
Another benefit of this rule, our cook was always able to meet the early fishing boats returning with the night's catch, and buy some ultra fresh fish for the day's menu...
Also, we got a chance to feel some unmoving ground under our feet and go around to explore the area.
See the FUJIFILM banderoles between the masts? FUJIFILM appreciated our photos, and has sponsored our diving photo trips by supplying ample film material plus free processing.
Those were the days, my friend... :)

Behind The Lens
Location
It has been a looong time ago, but I think this was shot on the Vis Is. (Adriatic, Croatia).Time
Must have been around or after 1900 hours, judging by the lighting angle.Lighting
Not much, except it was a straight daylight out-of-hand shot with no other lightsource.Equipment
Camera: Minolta Dynax 7000i + 35-80mm Rokkor lens. (Archival photo, scanned from Fujichrome Sensia 100ASA film.)Inspiration
The inspiration comes to me all by itself when it's about ships, boats, sea, water... So there was no special reason, and I still enjoy these tiny memory flashes that the photos of days long gone can wake up.Editing
It was scanned with a rather poor scanner (as the scanners of those days can be described). The digital photo had to be cleaned a lot, but frame-wise it is about 100% of the original area,In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
It's easy. Have a camera at hand (and I mean, ANY camera) at all times for there will never be any lack of themes! :)
