midwestchick Posted June 29, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Captain Leo did the sail away a bit differently last week. When the Summit left the berth he took us past the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. Since we have never been to NYC, it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Hats off to the Captain. :) :D Here are a few pictures. Ignore the time on the photos....forgot to change the time on the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2theship Posted June 29, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Friends of ours are on this week's cruise and the same thing happened. We were on the ship on the 5/31 and we just headed straight south. So, we're really, really jealous. How great for you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a miserable morning...just like last week but it did clear up nicely, as you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing that happened was DH totally changed his attitude about visiting NYC prior to our NE/ Canada cruise in October. :o He's finally pumped up. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushka Posted June 30, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2015 That is fantastic. Love that the QM2 was berthed there also. A TA on her is on my bucket list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youwash Posted June 30, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2015 How was everything with 1105? Hope it was all good for you and you enjoyed the cabin. From: that other Midwest chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniPac Posted June 30, 2015 #10 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Ignore the time on the photos....forgot to change the time on the camera. Off topic tip regarding the "burn in of date and time in digital pictures": every picture has this informations auto-saved within the file itself including some information on the camera, aperture, ISO - this informations are called EXIF. E.g. I can see that you took this picture of Lady Liberty with a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, aperture f/5.6, ISO 160, flash off :) No need to deface your beautiful pictures with that anymore since we moved from analog to digital. If you want to timestamp them later, there are tools that can add this (with customizable color, size, font etc.).

UniPac Posted June 30, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Is there a way to remove it now? No sorry, Photoshop might help but thats gonna be lot of work on each picture - might be worth though on a special one. That's why this option should be banned from all cameras. If you have a certain picture you want it removed, the easy way would be to cut the lower side if it won't change the image and nothing will be "lost". If that is not possible, "photoshopping" it would be the only way. If you have a certain picture you want it removed, let me know I will do (try - depens on the image) it for you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to shut that function off on the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was coming on to post exactly the same thing -- no need to put all this stuff on a photo (and images look so much better without them).

midwestchick Posted July 1, 2015 Author #20 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Rather than mess with all the helpful suggestions, I went to photobucket and edited the pictures. Here you go. :D:D The Canada/NE pics will be much better. ;) Never mind....the edit didn't work...darn. Date still shows up after cropping and replacing. :confused: Edited July 1, 2015 by midwestchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midwestchick Posted July 1, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The cropped photos (no dates) are showing up for me. :) Strange. When I posted the cropped pics, the dates still showed but when I look at the originals I see the dates are gone. :confused: Not sure what happened and I still see the date on Queen Mary. But, they do look much better without the date stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
