What are you "must take" photos??

[amarvel]

I saw on another post that someone takes pictures of all of their staff, and I hadnt thought of that before. Do you have any must take pictures that you take on your cruises???

 

I leave Sunday and thought some suggestions might be nice. thanks!

My favorite is the one with the ship in the back ground, the waiter in front of me asking if I'd like another margarita and my toes in the bottom of the picture covered in sand. I told DH that I wanted to remember this view so I took a pic of exactly what I saw from my beach chair!

Yes, there are several that we take each cruise

<LI>A shot of the cabin door area featuring the number of the cabin

<LI> A shot on the beach, right by the water line, where one of the kids has wirtten in the sand something like: "Summer 2004" to use as a title shot for a slide show

<LI>Photos of people we meet whether we like them or not- anybody we'll be telling a story about later

<LI>A shot of the bow of the ship featuring the name of the ship

<LI>Photos of something from each port that identifies it like the big pink sign on the dock in St Maarten

<LI>Photos of drunken teens running amok to show the folks back home

<LI>Photos of adults running amok to show the folks back home

I always take pictures with the wait staff, cruise directors, the captain and crew at the Carnival past guest party. I also take a picture with Fun ship Freddy on my last 2 cruises. He wasn't around on my 1st cruise. I always purchase the pictures from formal night.

<LI>Shots of the cabin

<LI>A "postcard" shot in each port (My first cruise, I got a beautiful shot of the water tower in Nassau - pristine white against the bluest sky I've ever seen)

<LI>Shots of the exterior of the ship if it's one I've never been on before

<LI>Interior shots onboard the ship if I can get them without 15 heads in the way

My last cruise, I took a couple of "special" pictures when leaving Port Canaveral. My first cruise left from Port Canaveral in '91 (or so) on The Big Red Boat. Now, 12 years later, I was leaving on another cruise from the same port. I took photos of the old Premier and Carnival terminals. So I have my then and now photos. May sound dumb but it meant something to me and that's what counts...right?

Great idea!

My intro photo for our last cruise was a giant pig I photgraphed on St. Maarten. I wasn't thinking of it at the time but when I got everything developed, it was the only photo that really didn't fit with the rest. Plus, it summed up nicely how we indulged on our first cruise.

Following my son's lead I try to always take a picture of the beach from my lounge and get my big toe in the pic. He always does this and it's fun. Also took a pic of my foot while swimming in St. Thomas to prove how clear the water is...very different from home. We also took our wait staff and our cabin steward. Definitely pics with the ship in the background too. The day my DD and I return from our CTN the Queen Mary 2 will be in NYC, so you can be sure we will take some pics of the "new queen". Have fun.

Derf,

 

Do you really label the photos "Breathtaking views of Twin Peaks?"

 

[derf5585]

Salty Dawg

"views of Twin Peaks"

 

My question is why is there is only one funnel, they should have two.

Derf,

 

Perhaps the "funnel" is a male gender term, while twin peaks is reserved for the females.

 

fun·nel [ fúnn’l ] - noun (plural fun·nels)

1. utensil used in pouring liquids: a cone-shaped utensil with a large opening at the top and a small opening or tube at the bottom, used to guide liquids and other substances into containers

2. chimney: a vertical pipe from which smoke and exhaust gases escape, especially one on a steamship or steam engine

 

verb (past fun·neled, past participle fun·neled, present participle fun·nel·ing, 3rd person present singular fun·nels)

1. transitive and intransitive verb move into narrow space: to move or direct something into and through a narrow space

an efficient system for funneling crowds through the turnstiles

2. transitive verb concentrate resources somewhere: to direct or channel all of something from one place or use to another

Funds were funneled away from other projects.

3. transitive verb make funnel-shaped: to form something into the shape of a funnel

 

[15th century. Via Provençal fonilh from, ultimately, Latin infundibulum , from infundere “to pour in,†from fundere “to pour†(source of English found, fuse, and confuse).]

I always try and take a picture of family members standing next to the ship so you can show others how actually big these ships are. It's no SS Minnow anymore!!!!!!!

 

Don't forget about pictures if any family members are in the finals of any of the tournaments. My hubby got one of me waiting to see if I won the slot tournament and then one after holding my $500.00 and my Ship on a Stick! That's one I would love to repeat on every cruise!!!!!!!

since we cruise as a family and drive (a long way) to port we have an obligatory pic that DH always takes (from the front seat) looking back at the kids in the back of the van with all the "long ride in the van" paraphernalia. Just a tradition we have going. Love many of the ideas listed here!

I love all of these suggestions...we always take a picture of our mountain of luggage that our family of four brings along! It makes for some interesting comments from family and friends when we show our vacation pics. I also like to take a picture of our ship in each port along side our neighboring ships.

I forgot to add one of my favorites to my previous post.

 

I took a picture of my husband loading a suitcase full of liqour purchased in all the ports. He was really struggling to get it in the car, but we had a very full bar when we returned along with some very happy friends.

Some of my favorite photos are the scenic, postcard views. I have a wonderful shot of a horse-drawn carriage in Cozumel, with only the ocean, palms, and a ship in the far distance.

 

I also like to take pictures of locals on the islands. Dancers in the square at Cozumel, little kids playing, waiters and mariachis in restaurants - all make great shots.

 

Take that camera on deck...you never know when you might see dolphins frolicking in the ocean! I have two terrific shots like that.
