The longer exposures simply are required by closing down to increase DOF. That's why the tripod is so necessary. Another tip would be to use your "burst" mode, to take many shots in a small time period; at least one of them might be very sharp. Using lens lockup helps reduce vibration-cany stabilization features on your lens and/or camera. I think that "motionless" might well be the answer for you. I can't fault your composition at all.

I like the composition. You chose to include the lines of the deck, the person in silhouette and the colors of the sky reflected across the ship. Most people see a pretty sunrise or sunset and turn to capture that alone. This is far more interesting and places the viewer "there".
Thank you very much. This was a shot that I just couldn't pass up for those very reasons.

To me, your shots are just too soft. I'd insist on carrying a tripod. I frequently get lazy and leave mine in the car, and usually end up with shots like these. I've started extending one tripod leg and using it as a walking stick, which makes it a bit easier. Try a tripod, close down to increase DOF, and take longer exposures. Be sure to bracket your shots, too. Hope this helps.

How could we NOT praise your photos? Some of your still life images are among the very best I've seen anywhere, if not THE best. You are deserving of every compliment you receive....and thanks for thanking us. :)

I, too, have a Tilley - 2, actually, after losing my first two.
I love your photo. Here's one of the same name that I took at
Fossil Ridge Wildlife Park near Glen Rose, Texas. Hope you don't mind my posting it here.

Every time I moved to get away from him, this guy (who needs a full-time proctologist) set up right in front of me. I was nice, and just kept moving.
