Steamboat Meet 2015

Fourth of July weekend always brings the annual Steamboat Meet to the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers inn Waterford, New York. Today's weather is rainy but before the rain started falling I was able to get around and shoot some scenics of the boats moored at Waterford Harbor.

Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll be able to return and get some shots of individual boats and their crews on the water. If it stops raining, that is.

In order to boost the coloring and emphasize the clouds I bracketed three exposures (the maximum for the EOS 7D) and used Canon's two pancake lenses, the EF-S 24mm f/2.8 and EF 40mm f/2.8.

Here a couple of shots followed by an embedded slide show of the Zenfolio gallery which contains 12 images at this point and can be viewed at
