Coast Guard in Action - Second Attempt

ISO 800, f/6.3, 1/250sec

Last week I posted a photo of a Coast Guard boat which I converted into an HDR. In that post, I indicated that I wasn't happy that the photo was a bit blurry, and that the available light prevented me from getting a sharp picture.

I actually got some very positive feedback on that photo on my Google Buzz feed which suggested ways to correct the problem in the future, and also pointed out something I hadn't noticed in my picture -- that the foam near the boat had a magenta tinge to it. The commenter was right, and I hadn't even noticed it!

Well, as it turns out, I had another shot of the boat which had many of the suggestions that were made (increase the ISO and a wider aperture to get a faster shutter speed).

So, consider this my second attempt at the same photo. I know it isn't the exact same photo as the original one, but I think it addresses many of the concerns that viewers and ultimately I had with the first photo. It just doesn't have the same sense of action as the original photo does though.

Thanks for the positive feedback!
