      OK, will try to remember to that from time to time.

      This photo was taken using a tripod.

      ISO 100 so I could make a large quality print if desired. And stopped down so the exposure was long to try to soften up the water.

      Three exposures, +1 over, auto, and -1 under. I used the +1 to lighten the boats and -1 for the sky (masked layers in Photoshop). Oh, and I changed the colour balance of the moon and the moon’s reflection cooling it way down.
