For months I've been wanting to get a photograph of a moonlight canal boat ride on the D&H Canal in Cuddebackville. Saturday night I did, sort of. The ride was over by the time I got there.
This picture was taken as people were leaving the boat for the night. I used a 25-second exposure with my Canon 20D. To light the boat and the trees on the left, I walked up to the boat and fired a flash: once at the boat and once at the trees.
I like the way the photo came out. But I think I dropped my compact flash card case that night in the dark. I went back early the next morning but could not find the case. I did decide to go to another location to take more photos.
I drove down Route 209 to Port Jervis and went to Point Peter, which overlooks the city. The fog from the Delaware and Neversink rivers was beautiful.
I'm going to try to get photos at another canal ride later this month. I might also try to get back to that spot above Port Jervis.

Nice photo. I love the fog effect. The photo above -- how do you get such detail in the shadow?
