My Canon PowerShot A570 was not available so I used the old Kodak
DC280 just in case the ship departed this afternoon.

PowerShots are the series of P & S cameras, aren't they, HF? Do they
get up into the EVF range? See a comment I just made to an earlier one
of yours. I just bought a PowerShot SD-1100 for my wife and a Rebel Xsi
DSLR new toy for myself this afternoon.

Thanks for the pics and the good stories!

I just took a few on the good one, but the visibility is terrilbe
due to the smoke.

Smoke? As is smoke or as in smog? I've never stayed in Miami per se but
did pass through Miami Beach a number of times and did some night spots
back in January, 1970 just before my buddy and I got drafted, he in
February that year and me in June. It IS a very nice area, especially
if you like boaters. Back then, we were Lauderdale-bound and managed to
see the old Queen Elizabeth when she was berthed as a floating museum
at Port Everglades. Too bad the Japs managed to sink such a
distinguished old lady towing her home.

I may or may not have commented here that my main interest these days
is car pictures, but buried in my basement are something like 5,000-
8,000 - I really don't know how many - 35mm slides I took with my
still-working 1969 Nikon Photomic FTN. Lots were in the US before and
after I was in the Army but the bulk are of Germany, Austria, London,
and Paris while I was overseas. I almost bought a Nikon CoolScan 5000 3
years ago but dropped the idea because my health went south. I am still
recovering and I have the itch to play with my Visa card again while
she's still hot. Gotta to to www.nikonusa.com and see what the diff is
for a CoolScan V at $600 vs. the CoolScan 5000 for $1100. I'm pretty
sure I want the latter because it supports 4 slide/scan, an optional
feeder, and Digital Ice to kill the noise caused by dust.

If and when I ever acquire such a beast - or use Ritz Camera's scanning
service at 75 cents/scan, I'll be able to post a LARGE number of ships,
both civilian and military.

Stay tuned!

Yes, much brighter and clearer. The river or canal is very calm.
Does it ever get choppy, e.g., in a storm?

Also, I don't recognize DCP in the camera's file name. What do you
have?
