Well spottedI was walking around taking pics the other day when I saw these chaps taking pictures.I think it may have been a better idea to go back a few feet and take the pic on dry land.

It's given me an idea that may be cool, hows about a long exposure type thing? The boat would be sharp, as the camera wouldn't move relative to it, but the scenery would all be blurry?
It's clearly not what he's doing, but there would at least be a reason for looking like that much of a muppet

Maybe he's taking a video
I had thought about that later, but he would still be bobbing up and down.
And the smooth panning technique with that tripod head may be OK left to right, but the up and down movement would be a sight to see.

I once saw a professional press photographer (I think he was professional) using a Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 on a monopod. I've used a 200-400 f/4 handheld!

Nice pics - I tried to get some long expsoures of a swimming pool sloshing about on a cruise ship while we were in a storm. Didn't work! Star trails did work however but only in a kind of zig zag up and down motion...

Taking pictures of the flat where there was an alleged gas explosion a while back and where the mother allegedly killed her three children. Nobody else had one.
