Coming on the heels of long exposures of cars, I decided to create some long exposures of boats. San Francisco Bay is VERY deep black at night, and there are some evening ferries that pass near a fishing pier, so I could get reasonably close to them before the bright lights of their piers flooded them. So last night, after dinner, I grabbed my tripod and Lomo Instant Wide Glass camera (with fresh batteries!), and headed to that pier.
The way light scatters on the surface of the water, reflecting more brightly than their source shines directly, is quite interesting to me.
This was a fun experiment, and I'm glad I tried it with bright, close boats rather than with more distant ships at night.
