i want to do night ocean photography. what weather conditions do i need for the longest view from shore?
I would like to go to a nice dark area for night photography in between san deigo and los angeles. But sometimes when i go out at night a mist over the ocean stops me from getting a good shot. I have over $4000 of new canon equipment including a tripod, external timers, bubble levelers and canon L lenses. i just need help in finding out what weather conditions i need to get the longest shot over the horizon, so i can see the stars all the way down.
Mist is caused by a couple of things that I can think of:
1. Humid air cooling to a temperature which is below the dew point.
2. Wind and waves.
Above the water, I think the dew point must be pretty close to the water surface temperature. So you want a time where the air is warm and the water is cold. And as little wind as possible.
