I found hoods show up in the photo around the corners if you use a wide angel lens.As for lens filter for the sake of a couple of dollars there money well spent cheaper to replace a filter than a lens worth hundreds of dollars.

Dirk, I agree with you on the amount of photos of the same cruise ships I think there should be a limit.

Hello Dirk , the photo in question is as Pieter said is unsharp , but it seems you are using a small compact camera going by picture info a Coolpix A900 which are a great camera I use myself sometimes for shots between a fence where the bigger DLSR wont fit,but they do have a limit.Unlike a DSLR the compact digital have a smaller sensor and this seems to be the issue with your photo.More megapixels doesn't necessarily mean better quality it really depends on the sensor size.
Hope this helps,Paul

In short, these pleasure fishermen are a global nuisance
Yes but not only to us Shipspotters but to the poor wildlife , I have seen many Seagulls with fishing line wrapped around there legs.
Just fixed the BBCode quote tags so it formats correctly

« on: May 09, 2020, 10:22:03 AM »No fishing hooks but had fishing line caught up in the rear hub and broken spokes 2 in last 2 weeks !My worst memory was riding down to the port on my bicycle only to find on arrival that my pannier bag had fallen off which contained my camera , phone and wallet somewhere on the 15km trip.I rode back the same way and found it 6km down the road , someone had picked it up and placed it on a fence with camera and phone ,wallet still in it so thanks to that person who ever they are.Glad to hear that the bicycle is not only a Dutch way of shipspotting. I lost a bag and a glove once (Separate occasions) and indeed found them back the next day or so, hanging from or laying on a pole. I did find a lens cover once, and kept it....The worst experiences are two or three flat tires on the bike, one caused by a fishing hook that was left behind by a fisherman on the cycle path. Walking home was on average about 7-8 kilometers.
