• Wednesday is Photo Day
  • What a great shot--what makes the horizon look so round?
    • Ultra-wide-angle lens distortion, Marsha
    • 15mm Fisheye Lens
      • I knew I recognized it as an effect I was familiar with; I just couldn't place it. Tks.
        • No problem. Both fisheye and rectilinear wide angle lenses are fun to use.
  • Love the intensity in that dog's eyes
  • On the water for the first time this season
    • Paul, is that the yard you can see from Rte. 1 in Freeport/Yarmouth?
      • That's the one, Nat
        • The mast in the left of the first pic....
          • I think that may be mounted in the bed of a cut down school bus
    • Boston
      • Nice. Boston at night...
        • Great shots. Any advice on how to best visit Boston by boat?
          • I'd think about staying in Boston Harbor Shipyard & Marina,
            • Could probably get a mooring at Cottage Pack YC...
              • It's pretty far to the T, as I recall.
          • I haven't tried this, but...
          • Boston moorings
          • Just to the right of the arch
          • Fantastic Boston info, thanks everyone.

  • The Belfast Boatyard...
    • I bet there's an interesting story associated with that pic
  • Getting busy in the boat yard
    • I've always bought the recommended sealant from the local acrylic supplier
    • I've used Dow Corning 795 with good success.
      • That looks like good stuff
        • I just followed the instructions on the back..
        • I called a few glass shops..
        • Florida Rigging and Hydraulics...
    • Sealant for port lights
      • I'll second the Sika 295UV...
        • Excellent! My local Chandlery stocks Sika 295UV
          • I have the very expensive Sika 209Dprimer leftover from my hatch job
            • Ouch. That is twice the cost of the caulking.
              • Only has a 9 month shelf life too.
  • That ball is in trouble. The best cover for a boat is a building.
