Icebreaking tug Polar Circle departs Halifax

The icebreaking tug Polar Circle has been laid up in Halifax for some time this fall, and finally departed the harbour for Boston this afternoon - her departure was perfectly timed for the 4:45 ferry to Dartmouth.







To get these photos of a moving ship from another moving ship, I stopped down to f/4 (the widest aperture for my 70-200mm lens) and I normally leave the camera set to auto-ISO - so in this case, the camera jumped the ISO up to between 5000 and 10,000 depending on the image. While not ideal, even the older Sony camera body that I use managed just fine with fairly natural looking grain at those levels.
