TrqoisWtrs Posted August 27, 2012 #76 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm a big fan of the classic...just had to see if I could get it in there ;-) I think I'm partial to Christmas Vacation. Its a yearly classic. :) Just finished the video. Absolutely great job. Your kids are so cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naagnel55 Posted August 27, 2012 #79 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Awesome review and amazing pictures! You have great photography skills :) I did have a question regarding your camera - I have a DSLR Canon that I want to bring with me and have 3 lenses for it (regular, 55-250 and macro). Did you feel safe walking around Cabo and PV with your camera and equiptment? Its obviously $1000+ plus of stuff so I dont know how smart it would be to bring. Im find with having it on the boat but not sure about off the boat. Or maybe Ill just take the regular 18-55 lens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im find with having it on the boat but not sure about off the boat. Or maybe Ill just take the regular 18-55 lens... Great question. I'm a pretty big guy, so anyone wanting to tangle with me would have thier hands full ;) However, I do have a SpeedCarry sling that I carry with my camera. It allows you to sling it over your shoulder and carry it on your hip but you still have quick access to it because it slides easily up and down the sling (google it if you are interested). Usually in port I carried only my 18-270mm Tamron lens which is a great "all-around" walking lens. I also have a LowePro Fastpack 200 that is great because it's a full backpack with a side access for the camera. We usually just put all our stuff in the top and it allowed me to carry my camera and lenses inside without anyone even knowing what I was carrying. I do think, however carrying the big camera and lens set me up for the vendors harassing us more. They saw $2k worth of stuff hanging from my side and obviously assumed we had money to spend. I do think that's an issue, but I never really felt unsafe in either port. I would urge you to rent a fisheye lens for your cruise...wow great new perspective and a blast to play with in a unique location. Have fun!

yamsi12 Posted September 10, 2012 #83 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Great pics, I just got off the Splendor 3 weeks ago. The Queen Mary sure has better lines than the Splendor does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrounds Posted September 10, 2012 #84 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The current exchange rate is $1 equals 13 pesos. If they only give you 10 to 1 you are being cheated! And to those that have been going to Mexico for years, that is the NEW peso . . . which is equal to 1000 times the value of the OLD peso ! ! :eek: (a little lesson to learn there when a govt tries to PRINT itself out of economic trouble):rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tee3240 Posted September 10, 2012 #86 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I posted a video of this cruise here: http://vimeo.com/48199970: We (my kids and I) just watched your video, it was awesome! What a great job! I wish I could do that, what wonderful memories you have. Thanks so much for sharing! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could do that, what wonderful memories you have. Thanks so much for sharing! :) Thanks. I bought a program Adobe Premier Elements for that video. One thing I wished I did more of was what they call "B Roll"...just setting the camera in one place on a tripod and catching background stuff...like waves rolling in, people walking by, etc. I think I will do more of that next cruise. Glad you enjoyed it...I had a great time making it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyMac13 Posted September 11, 2012 #89 Share Posted September 11, 2012 My family is going on Splendor in December and after reading your review, I am even more excited about going, if that is even possible. Thanks for all the photos and the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed it...I had a great time making it! I enjoyed it all. Great stuff. You also answered my question, as I would love to try some of these techniques. Checking into this Adobe program. Looking forward to my 4th cruise on the SPLENDOR (before she leaves for NYC) some time this Fall. Thanks again.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambee Posted January 27, 2013 #96 Share Posted January 27, 2013 …little man checking out the forbidden fruit (adult’s only area)… …front view from the secret deck on 7… It is funny I found your Liberty review from a simple search, I was planning on sailing that ship. Anyway after reading that one, your signature guided me to this one. So far I am loving it, I actually like it much better than your liberty review. I absolutely love your fisheye pictures, I recently acquired a 8mm 2.8 lens for my nex system exclusively for cruising and I can't wait to use it. Your fisheye pictures have me really excited about the posibilites of the lens, just incredible. Thank you so much for doing this, I just started reading it and I am hooked.

I think I picked it up off of Amazon for around $60 or so. I love it, easy to pick up and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
