Taking these photos weren't easy, this point and shoot had shutter lag and it needed time to process photos. I think being frustrated with this point and shoot ended up pushing me towards a DSLR, but it also taught me how to anticipate photos and learn about timing. If you're going to be limited to taking a photo every 5 seconds or so, you might miss the next shoot if you shoot willy nilly. I'm glad I had the opportunity to learn that with this crappy camera.
@WestEndFoto Thanks. I didn't get what I wanted as the conditions were not what I envisioned. Nevertheless I got something but I do intend to do that again. Light, time of day, tide, etc., all have to come together. That is the photographic challenge.

I'm so happy I uploaded everything into Google Photos, sometimes I take photos and never look back on them unless Google reminds me of it.
