When I do a cruise I like to film going in and out of port and under bridges. I do this in time-lapse as it is quicker to watch but also shows movement and patterns in different ways. To share this with others I am posting a playlist here but will try and follow it up with each one individually to help people find a specific port. At the moment there are 41 but I aim to add more as they happen.

so 6 years ago you had 1 meal that was dry...

MOOOOOOOORE?????

Life has been hectic (and not in a good way) lately so my apologies for the late response to this. I just wanted to say that I am thrilled that someone thought this worthy of a share. I love filming the sailing in and out of ports - especially with a dram or two - even when it can require being on a balcony in Pajamas for 3 hours with a strong need for the washroom (Stockholm) as I freeze. I tend to put together a film of the cruise but then also split it up into separate ones for each port. One of the things I love about it is how time-lapse reveals a pattern of movements that we do not normally see - such as the side wobble of big ships as they dock (Corfu). here is a playlist of the shorts -

Thanks for that - it has been a pleasure - hope people find it some use

no - it was me being thick. It is open to uk passengers and the info/link is halfway down a recent email about the black friday offer.

Thanks - I have found it and now have fingers crossed

well I'll be - found it in the old mail folder - many thanks.

I haven't had this - are their any links to it?

So, shortly after I last wrote the GP stopped recording - always worth playing around. Yes the reflection was a problem and it did not do too great with the dark. Part of the problem was the red light in the front. I will try again in a few days but at 30 min instead of 1 hour and maybe with a mask that covers the red light and shields the glass.

As for the reflection issue - no I don't have any timed schedule but what I have done, not visible on the photo, is placed a large black book behind it, close the curtain in the evening and just hope. I am not expecting great results but am just experimenting. I am figuring that at only one image per hour each image will be only 1 24th of a second so things like that may get smoothed out. It is still going and I will see if the camera, my curiosity or my wife's irritation causes it to stop first. As for battery packs - interesting and I don't know. I have charged my iPhone from my drone's battery before but never tried the power pack option for a camera. I was advised to buy extra batteries but haven't yet - it is something I considered for a trip to photo the northern lights (thinking that the cold would sap battery power quickly) but due to same sad news about one of my daughter's health I have postponed that trip so don't need to think about it. I will let you know what the tree looks like either way just for the fun of it. Hope you got yours at the weekend and are having fun.
