Last week the air temperatures were way below zero (deg. F). On my way into work I noticed that the ocean had a really thick layer of sea smoke. Sea smoke is not fog. It occurs when the ocean temp.'s a warmer than the air temp and evaporation occurs.So, I took a detour into work up to the East End of the Portland peninsula to take a few pics. I was a bit surprised to see a few other people there doing the same thing. Anyway I got this decent photo of a fishing boat coming back into Portland harbor, making its way though the thick sea smoke. The boat was at least a mile away, and my camera is a cheapy, so the quality isn't the best. But it's better than nothing.
Eerie photo. Like a ghost ship..

ReplyDeleteOh... I think I'm going to have to pass down one of our "old" cameras so that you can get us some quality shots. :-)GoAS
ReplyDeletei have never heard of sea smoke (pardon my ignorance) but it looks really cool--what a great photo op!
ReplyDeleteLooks like pretty thick smoke. Wonder how the shore looks from the boat?
ReplyDeleteLooks like something from the set for Ghost Ship. Nice shooting :)
