Brunswick Docks -- The First Mate









I wasn't about to "board ship!" In fact, I wasn't even going to get out of the car! The "First Mate" was on watch -- his bark and watchful eye were enough to give me pause. I drove down the docks, considering a drive-by "shooting," and checking out the other shrimpboats. (Nikon D200, Nikon 70-300 AF VR @ 122mm, 1/250 sec @ F/8)

I came back later. Aye, the Captain was there now, and I asked him about the dog. "Is he friendly?" I inquired. "Sure, HE is, but all his brothers and sisters were mean!" the Captain replied.

I asked if I could take a shot of the two of them and they complied, athough I used the same lens and kept my distance! They were a friendly pair. "Crew" picture, same body and lens, 1/160 sec @F/6.3.


One more shot of the "First Mate":
