Thanks for your comments.
Re bow wave... I get your point. There was not a heap of wind but if there were the water would not have been as smooth.
But something to look for next time.
Regarding room to sail into... I suppose that would suggest the shot should follow the 'off centre' rule. Good point.

Joined the club boat yesterday and enjoyed watching the yachts race by.
I think catching the boats on the fore quarter angle emphasises the sense of movement.
Comments welcome

Thank-you all.
I use a Canon 60d. I always shoot in raw.
I was using a tripod but it was a really windy day hence the tree movements.
I will look into layering.
Thanks for the input.

Layering?
I am new to post processing.
Please elaborate.

Sorry, the LR term is "Photo Merge" then choosing HDR.

Hi Hoggers,
I would have attached this to the previous topic but I can't see how you can add more photos to an existing topic.
Here is another example of a bracket merge. I am only posting this for your opinion analysis of the bracket merge. the actual content is ok but....
I have not done any post processing other than the merge.
I feel the merged sky is way too dull (over exposed?). And fore ground could use some more saturation.
What are the hoggers opinions?

Hi Hoggers,
Story, I stuffed up the post of the original 3 and doubled up on the 3rd exposure included the and left out the 1st image (least exposure).
Regarding the purpose of bracketing and merging: I understood that it was to enable correct exposure across the whole shot. This is often a problem during sunrise/set because metering on the sky is dominated by the sun leaving the (usually) lower part of the shot underexposed. Metering on the foreground (lower part of the shot) will lead to over exposure of the sky.
By using bracketing we have a better chance of getting the correct exposure of entire scene enabling us to see detail across the entire shot.
Is this not correct?

Hi,
This is my first attempt at bracketing and then merging the resultant three photos into one (using Light Room).
I set the bracketing at 2 stops either side.
I have included the three original photos and then the blended photo. Other than using Light Room to merge the photos there has been no other post processing.
I am just curious as to UHH members feelings regarding this process. Do people perform further pp after merging?

Thank-you all.
Interesting that David in Dallas like no. 3 the best. This is the one shot where the shutter speed is deliberately fast freezing the water. The others were deliberately shot with a slow (30-30 sec) to create a softer more ethereal effect.
What is the general opinion. Do you generally like the softer ethereal look or the sharp hard look?

Yes so is mine but what ever it was did not get shaken off.
It looked like tiny water drops but was probably dust spots.

Well Hoggers come through yet again.
I went to a good camera shop (Michaels) and spoke to the guy there.
They have a service dept that will clean the camera for $AUD90. He also said that I cold clean it my self and providing I was gentle I couldn't do any damage and if it didn't work I could then go with the service.
He sold me a VSGO APS-C Sensor Cleaning Kit whick is essentially the swab sticks and fluid.
Anyway I dry cleaned it - took a test shot,
wet cleaned it - took a test shot .... still a couple of spots
wet cleaned it - took a test shot .... perfect.
Thank-you for all your advice.
