**RICHARD L.** · **1 Like**

Just before leaving, I looked in this direction and liked what I was seeing. 645Z + 645 FA 150-300 mm f/5.6 ED IF on tripod. 170 mm FL, 1/100 sec @ f/16. Boy, is that zoom SHARP !

Nice shot. Sharp is right. Does the rocky part extend very far out into the water? Looks like it Could damage a vessel easily.

We have 6 foot tides in the vicinity of Quebec City. So the rocks become visible at low tides but are submerged at high tides. This was taken around noon, at the lowest level of the tide this particular day. Some ships of the British fleet floundered on these shallow reefs in 1759 when they attacked Quebec. There is a shipping channel south of the island that is maintained by Transport-Canada. The St Lawrence is almost 200 feet deep at the eastern tip of Isle d'Orleans.

You caught a very nice view here.
It's good that you looked this way before leaving the area.
Angky.
