Here's my latest photo accessory... 16' and 50HP of boat-awesomeness to shuttle myself around to faraway shorelines. A boat needs a name and I need your help to come up with something clever! The name should be photo related and it can't be too long (it's a small boat so the name has to fit!). So far my friends have given me some good suggestions:
Shutter Speed
Over-Exposed
F-Stop
I wanted to call it "EthanMeleg.com Corporate Yacht" but my friends said that was lame.
Please post your best suggestions! If I pick your name, you can either have 1) a boat trip (if you live nearby) or 2) an 11x16 print of your choice from my entire collection.
My Mom is up for a visit and the boating conditions were perfect yesterday, so I took her out for a tour along the spectacular shoreline of Bruce Peninsula National Park. That's Georgian Bay in the background.... love that Caribbean-blue water! Below are a few photos from our excursion.
Photo 1(above): That's me with the boat on the shoreline of Georgian Bay. EOS 5D mark II; 17-40mm lens; Singh-Ray LB warming polarizer; photo shot by my Mom
Photo 2 (above): The cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment in Bruce Peninsula National Park plunge into the clear blue-green waters of Georgian Bay. EOS 5D mark II; 17-40mm lens; Singh-Ray LB warming polarizer
Photo 3 (above): Framed by a shoreline cave, my Mom looks out at the blue waters of Georgian Bay from Bruce Peninsula National Park. EOS 5D mark II; 17-40mm lens; Singh-Ray LB warming polarizer;
Photo 4 (above): That's me at the helm. Photo shot by my Mom with a Canon G11.

Carpe Lux or Prima Lux (seize the light or first light in latin)
Wee Shoot

I think that either 'image finder' or 'view finder' would maintain the photography theme while, at the same time, describe the purpose of the "EthanMeleg.com Corporate Yacht"
ReplyDeleteEthan name it for your mom
ReplyDeleteMy suggestions, seeing as "Bootlebumtrinket" doesn't quite have the photographic touch:
ReplyDeleteThe Light Trawler
OneHelluvaGadget
Lightwave Dreams
LightSeeker
Thanks for all the continued ideas... keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteHere's one that just came to me:
Telefloato
How about FLOATOGRAPHY!
ReplyDeletemom
Ha! Telefloato makes me laugh. All I had was something about the speed of light.
ReplyDeleteIt's been ages since I've been up to Georgian Bay and I'm going to have to make a point of it once I get back from Poland/Czech Rep in September. So lovely!
Thinking outside the box....how about
ReplyDeleteGeorgian On My Mind
Oreo
EOS
ReplyDeleteLook up the wiki and you'll see that it's the perfect name....
EOS is really good! Love the double entendre and it makes me sound much more sophisticated than Floatographer (which I think is damn funny)!! EOS is definitely in the running!
ReplyDeleteAquapod
ReplyDeleteSync Speed
ReplyDeleteWave of light
ReplyDeleteBoatography or Boat-O-Graphic
ReplyDeleteHow about "Luminosity"

Your boat is really, really handsome, Ethan! I love its petite appearance, and the good part is that its features seem reliable and absolute. I’d love to suggest names, but it’s too late. Your little boat must have obtained its lovely name by now. Hmm. I might just give you a little advice, which is to take good care of it while having it for a ride. Always remember, safety first! Ciao!
ReplyDeletePaulina Kimberly
people have shared so many good names. can you guys help me for a boat name as well?
