Day 326

Wednesday, November 26, 2014

As we departed, it looked like the party was starting without us… (All photos Canon 7D) Another tropical night in the Puget Sound… And vertical… The Moon washout of the sea haze. It was nice on deck.   Looking aft. And so goes our final night aboard the MS Amsterdam. ~Curtis at sea on the […]

Day 325

Wednesday, November 26, 2014

Late afternoon, back at the boat…sea haze… (All photos Canon 7D) The Grand Princess, docked next to us, has one of those really neat covered bows on the promenade deck.  The Amsterdam, that we were on, has that part of the bow shut off, only to open it for special occasions. Hey!  What’s that?  Up […]

Day 308

Thursday, October 30, 2014

A brief stop in the Crow’s Nest for the drink of the day yielded…a view of moonlight on the sea… Out on deck it was dark. A little camera magic and a little fill-flash, and it is almost a warm, tropical moonlight on the sea.  Almost. A bit later. ~Curtis, out at sea, near Sitka! […]

Day 280

Wednesday, October 8, 2014

The lunar eclipse made it to Moab!  It was cloudy in the evening and the moonrise was almost nonexistent…but I had to get up about 4:40 this morning and I found the eclipse trying to hide behind some more clouds… (1/4s f/4.5 ISO6400 200mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) (1/2s f/8.0 ISO320 300mm 7D) (0.3s f/8.0 […]
