Dockside

San Francisco, CA

2/7 “We rest here while we can, but we hear the ocean calling in our dreams, And we know by the morning,
the wind will fill our sails to test the seams, The calm is on the water and part of us would linger by the shore,
For ships are safe in harbor, but that's not what they are made for” Michael Lille

Nikon D3
1/640s f/8.0 at 50.0mm iso200 full exif

I've spent quite a bit of time around the piers of the city but never have I seen this vessel, nice find and a good image considering the challenging lighting condition. Oh, that's why, you're shooting a D3!

(finding that grebe in this image is a "Where's Waldo?" challenge by itself!)

Nice looking boat (to a landlubber)

Looks like it has a few years on it. Is this a buoy maintenance boat?

Good job with the exposure, and the quote is wonderful.

Nice shot of this ship, Mark. I noticed the waterfowl (grebe, I believe) too. :)
