MORNING VOYAGE
WHILE FISHING ON THE SACRAMENTO RIVER IN THE TOWN OF RIO VISTA, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE IN THE RIGHT SPOT AT THE RIGHT TIME TO GET THIS LARGE CARGO SHIP MAKING HIS “MORNING VOYAGE”, DOWN THE RIVER HEADING TOWARDS SAN FRANSISCO BAY AND THE PACIFIC OCEAN. WITH THE MORNING SUN JUST RISING AND THE BACK LIGHT ON THE SHIP, THIS SHOT MAKES A MYSTERIOUS LOOKING PHOTO. I DON’T KNOW THE NAME OF THIS SHIP, BUT IT LOOKED AS IF IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR SOME TIME. IT MAKES ONE WONDER, WILL THIS SHIP MAKE IT LONG ENOUGH TO RETIRE TO A MOTHBALL FLEET? THEN, HOPEFULLY BE CALLED BACK INTO USEAGE ONCE MORE BEFORE BEING SCRAPPED. THE CAMERA USED WAS A KODAK EASY SHARE Z710 WITH A 10X ZOOM LENS THAT MAKES IT EQUIVILENT TO A 38-380MM LENS. ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS LITTLE CAMERA IS, IT ALLOWS ME TO TAKE PHOTOS IN BLACK AND WHITE. THAT WAY I DON’T HAVE TO DO IT IN THE DIGITAL DARKROOM.

THAK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT. I USED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SOLAR FLARES GIVING OFF LENS FLARES IN MY 35MM CAMERA. MY DIGITAL CAMERA HAS NEVER LENS FLARED ON ANY OF MY PHOTOS YET, AND I HOPE THEY DON’T. THANKS AGAIN, BOB
