Oh geez...this is totaly opposite what I was thinking of the camera set up. I have to work it out how the gloomy overcasted condition ganna match up with the large f-number...:( ( I guess you were refering to higher then f-8)

The cruise going about 10-12 knots...I am not sure if the tripod will be any help here. The ship moving, bouncing constantly. I need fast shutter speed :(

Pls...correct me if I am wrong...:(

 

thx the input hope others will have some ideas too...more is a better...X fingers
