You didn't have time, of course, but the trick is to press the shutter down halfway when you first point the camera out at the water. This will focus it at the appropriate range and keep it locked at that range regardless of any intervening targets. This is when practicing with one's camera pays off.
Thanks, I do usually do this. I think this time because it jumped out of the way just as I was taking aim I somehow missed, maybe clicked too quickly.

I was reading his failed derivation of his GUT in the paper just above. I noticed that the only problem is that he made a sign error.

Another one from FB memories. It's the direction they're pointing that had me flummoxed. How did they get like that?

Indeed you can have Mediterranean style anywhere View attachment 272584

This is very nice. I'm curious if you added any dressing.

For this, I would have just added extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice.

I fill a medium size bowl about 50/50 soy sauce/lemon juice. Then add chopped green onions , coriander leaves, maybe some dried garlic flakes and basil leaves (in pots on deck) Then take with spoon . So not really Mediterranean but Thai. And I'm for sure going to have your suggestion next time. Edit the mixture above is kept separate from the shrimp an calamari. Both about $8/kg at this village style seafood market. Shown a few replies above

Climbed this tree not so long ago. When you're at the top the slightest breeze gets amplified multifold; exhilarating.
