Very moody. Nice effect.
I do think capturing the tops of the masts in the frame would have made this shot awesome (IMHO).
Good luck

author says:

Thanks for the thought and the comment, MyMindsEye. I would agree with you except for the fact that to capture the tops of the sailboat masts and the reflection would have required backing out quite a long way, which would have then lost a huge amount of detail in the scene. It was also not physically possible. To my eye, the fishing vessels are really the more beautiful subject and I did ensure that their masts and reflections are included. It was a ghostly night.

Create capture, what kind of exposure did you need.

author says:

It was still enough to capture at f8, ISO 250, for 30 seconds at 24mm focal length(dx). Some light improvements in post processing. Thanks for asking, friiskiwi.

Beautifull shot, even if I have to agree with MyMindsEye. Maybe the same short but vertical (with perhaps one boat less) would have permit to have entire boats with enough reflection. Don't you think ? (maybe I'm wrong)

author says:

Good question, Artifakts.

"You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all i know
But you may be right."
(Billy Joel)

Nice shot. If only the boats have a few more lights on to give some texture and interest, or after the first calm shot to throw a small stone into the water on the left to see if a small ripple effect is better?

author says:

I really did want the undisturbed reflection and for me to have created a ripple would have disturbed both the water reflection and jostled my camera when I threw a small stone into the water without rocking the boat that I was on while trying to take a 30 second exposure. It is a particular challenge to take night shots of boats from other boats. Nice thought, though, and next time I will try it your way!!
