This was an opportunistic capture from a hotel balcony, made with a small camera and 90mm lens. I made several exposures, waiting for good light, which came out briefly for this one.

The wrong gear is definitely better than nothing, but still not as good as the right gear. This is a perfectly acceptable image, but I can’t look at it without wishing I had used a view camera, a higher resolution sensor, and a slightly longer lens. But if I had insisted on that, I’d have no image at all.

Each individual berth there probably leases at $10K, $20K, and up, per year, depending on length of boat. Meanwhile, the salt water is eating each boat alive, requiring thousands $ more per year in maintenance, I’d guess.
