Last night 14.06.2010 about 8pm just half a mile east of Lybster harbour.

There were 5 dolphins following the boat and coming up at the side and front.

If you straighten the horizon you have a true cracker there HG! I wish I would have seen that!

A squint horizon on a shot taken from a boat can give the impression of capturing the swell of the sea.Hate squint horizons on shots taken from shore but on a boat it is sometimes ok to break the so calles rules.

No surprise there then.:roll:

Have a look at some of the photos taken for the deadliest catch series,the producers didnt feel the need to straighten horizons
just for the sake of it.

I'm not surprised, they'd have had all on to stand up never mind take a straight horizon in that sea. In that context the shot is acceptable because it shows how rough the seas were at the time, not so for a virtually flat calm sea when the whales were photographed. It would have been relatively easy to crop the image to a straight horizon and would have been acceptable.

Fantastic improvement HG! Well done you! :)

The wee boatie almost looks like a steam liner in front of those clouds ;)
