A couple of time-lapse videos leaving the Seychelles and also Kotor which I took on my last cruise on MSC Musica from Durban to Venice. 

I was hoping my time-lapse videos would improve with experience. Sadly there's not been the opportunity to do so.

How the heck can you fall off the back of a ship?!?

But to answer your question. Apparently the sea temperature has to be around 15°C or under before that becomes dangerous. The sea temp was around 25°C.

There's no dangerous fishes in the area.

I suppose in theory apart from falling asleep and drowning a lack of fresh water and food would have been her only worries! Having been on a cruise for almost a week it could take a while before starvation set in ;-)

Thanks again :-)

Thanks

There's loads of threads about cabins elsewhere on Arcadia and other ships in the line but nothing, I can see, about the sun deck (deck 10) cabins.

Would anyone with first hand experience like to share their thoughts?

Thanks

called hyperlapsing, take it.

I've loaded Lapse It (upgraded to the pro version for under £2.00) from the Android Play Store.

Testing projects look great.

Can't wait to get out there and get a few sunrises (I'm on the East side of the ship sailing from S America to Europe next week :-) and various other ideas! The thought of breakfast on the balcony makes me quiver with pleasure, but that's maybe another thread lol.

Great find, thanks for the tip.

There's also a good video on YouTube on how to take time lapse photography with a DSLR and software available free for your PC or laptop. It seems like quite a bit of work, much more than the app, but I'm sure the results will reflect the effort.

Thanks Don.

I know the basics of photography - have been a very keen, and published!! motor sports photographer, I date back to 35 mm film :-)

A tip from those days to keep a hand held camera steady would be to use your camera strap in the same way as people using rifles for target shooting, wrapped firmly round your non trigger finger arm, if you know what I mean. I'm sure YouTube will have lots of 'how to's.

It's really just this really slow stuff that's new(ish) ;-)

The bean bag sounds like a good idea, I haven't had one of these since primary school lol

Cheers guys, pretty much as I thought so the tripod will be staying at home.

I'm thinking of taking my tripod on board this trip.

Obviously fine for shots on board (with the camera attached ;-) but what has been people's experience of taking shots, let's just say of the moon or shore and cityscapes in low light.

Does the movement of the ship muck up the shots?

Beware of people photo bombing your shots!
