From out of the mist…

Filed under: Florida,Photography,landscape — Capn Scott @ 5:45 pm

From out of the mist appeared this lonely ghost boat…  Abandoned? Adrift? Haunted???

I’ve been learning some of the old stories about this little craft.  The hull is made of cement, about 30 years ago.  Not sure who the owner is.   It has never left the area…  But sounds like a great start to a novel…

This was another one of those mornings that I wake up, relax into the morning…  Then the sun shows up…  Dressed to the nines.  I have so little time to set up and take pics…  And, again, it looks like a chinese fire drill in my boat.  I’m trying to get dressed as fast as possible, grab my camera gear and get outside to get the shots.  The time is so limited when the colors are really golden…

Glutton for punishment…

Well..  boats are free sometimes.  I just had someone give me a boat.  It is in pretty bad shape.  But, I’ve gutted the entire insides, and can build it up from the hull…   This boat has no title, so, can’t really be registered.  I have the yard bill marked paid, and could probably fight for the title.  But, I would rather use it as an ocean going barge.

Ready for transport.

Like I need another boat building project…

More moon shots over the water…

Filed under: Florida,Photography,landscape — Capn Scott @ 7:44 am

I shot this moon shot…  Though, my monitor blew out and I have an old CRT monitor right now…  It seems to have lost the red channel…  This is very different, using a non-calibrated monitor.

I can’t see any reds on this monitor…  Time to go monitor hunting…
