Cool shots Kevin, I love those ship ones... How cool is that effect of the moon behind those clouds. Funny actually, cause I was outside with my boys at around 8.30 and Jaimyn (my 5yo) observed that "tonight the moon is round, so we call it full, and tommorrow it will be a half-moon, you just wait and see". Of course it is not actually a "full" moon tonight, but it does look like it to him. Anyways, sorry to digress, they are lovely shots and you did a really good job with the "guestimations".
BTW, it is bloody hot up here tonight too - and so humid, you could just about stick your tongue out and have a drink! Wish it would just rain, cause it generally cools off for a couple of hours after it... It is 11.10pm here now, and still well over 30°c, and that is WITH the air con on....! (Thanks Butch, I used the "degrees" symbol!)
