This is amazing! I was walking pretty much in the dark on the way home when I noticed that a boat moving slowly across the harbor had made all these beautiful, smooth waves, and they were moving toward me. I could barely see them in the dark, but I took a chance, put my camera on the railing to steady it, and then shot a series of photographs as the waves changed. The exposure was 1/8 second wide open at 1600 ISO and I was amazed that the camera was steady. It is just what is happening to the reflection of the lights on the waves! When I was trying to think of what to title this I looked at all the jiggly dots of the lights on the water, and "Jitterbug" came to me. That's the best I can do! :-) Please click on the image to make it larger - it is amazing!

Strange for me to see the horizontal waves and vertical lights and think of a puzzle. It is an amazing photo.

Jitterbug makes me feel like dancing :-) This photo is so cool! Love the sleek little waves. betsey
This is a great example of photo that combines skill and good luck. The skill is knowing exactly how to use camera settings to achieve a desired result. And the good luck, in this case, is being at the right place at the right time during a windless evening. A very nice and interesting photo!
Primo: Thank you for the kind words, and for figuring it all out!
