Sweet! Here in southern California (specifically Orange County), there are tons of marinas and boats--sailboats, yachts, kayaks, canoes, paddle-boats, houseboats, RC boats, wave-runners, jet-skis, Zodiacs, electric boats, ferry boats, dinner cruisers, party boats, . . .

Yeah that's a REALLY good idea. Even if I don't use it for this challenge I'll have to check it out sometime this summer.

And I am not sharing this good idea. :)

i lived in botswana for 6years - a landlocked desert 1000's of k from the ocean. there was, however, a yacht club on the main reservoir. what desperate expats will do for sailing... you did have to be careful of crocodiles in the shallows...


And how about the annual regatta in Alice Springs? If there's water in the river, it gets cancelled... ;-)

As a testimony to the addicting nature of dpc.

This past week, I spent 4 days in Washington, DC with a colleague (NOT a dpcer, not even a photography buff) from the community college where I work for a training *thing.* I had explained to her "dpc" and the weekly challenges and what not. I had also whined some about it being a "boat" challenge this week (I was really hoping for a "famous places" or "monument" challenge or something like that).

For the entire four days, she pointed out every boat we saw. . .

BeeCee, hope you're out shooting today, it's beeyootiful. (Took mine on btfl Wednesday, but cannot decide just exactly how I want to tweak it. Something tells me there is something there.... Little muttergrumble).

My girlfriend and I have gone camping and left on Sundays to beat crowds, only to use the last bit of reception we can find to call late Sunday night(rollover is 9 pm for me) to find out what the challenge is. My girlfriend is quite understanding. :)
Unfortunately this weekend it is raining so probably no boat challenge for me.

OK, all week I have been going around taking poctures of boats. Like I said, I am surrounded by boats and I bet I took pics of 50 or more different boats this week. Now, to choose one for the challenge! So far that I can see, none of them are "WOW" photos, some are crappy, most are so-so. I will have to go through them all tomorrow, ask my partner for his opinion and cross my fingers.

Nope :( And, last I heard, tomorrow the crap weather's supposed to be back...

I did take a bunch yesterday but there's nothing that excites me, maybe a couple 5.5's in the pack.

Eta; well, seems the front will hold enough that mayyybeee tomorrow I can get something that'll get into the top 50% :)
The only problem with the pressure not changing is that the Swiftsure yacht racers are left without any wind! (rare here to have it THIS calm)

Worst thing is, I HAVE a canoe, but it needs a repair that we just haven't gotten to yet :(

I don't see anything in the challenge description which says the subject of your photo has to be under way, or even in/on the water ... mine is both, and will probably get a 4.6 anyway.

ugh I have wanted to take a trip to newfoundland for years now. I need to see more of this country Ontario and a little Quebec doesn't do it justice.

The description said boats, ships, etc. So it mean one boat is not allow or the dnmc troll will come out

Lol, yeah, I swear that some trolls dissect the descriptions word by word, looking for something to DNMC on.

Talk about "floating your boat," the locks in Ottowa would probably have worked well for this challenge ... unfortunately my only capture is on film, and misses the deadline by a mere 27 years or so ... ;-)
