cruise101 Posted September 25, 2021 #2105 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Jim & Iain: I have been following along vicariously & enjoying every bit of your posts and pictures. The most recent sunset pic is absolutely incredible. Thanks again for sharing. The amount of time and effort you have devoted to blogging your experience on this cruise is so so much appreciated. Thanks again and enjoy the remaining sea days. Happy & safe travels back home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise101 Posted September 25, 2021 #2106 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Jim, one request if I may (not even sure if I am allowed to ask this according to CC rules). Would you be able to share the original high-def version of your most recent sunset pic (via email I guess). I enjoyed it so much, with your permission, I’d like to have it printed and framed. Thanks for your consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICCruisers Posted September 25, 2021 #2107 Share Posted September 25, 2021 @Jim_Iain That sunset picture is so popular you may want to make a bunch of prints and sell them at the next Art Auction. 😀Double the price if you sign them. FYI - I do agree it is breathtaking. Well done sir! 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 9/23/2021 at 8:39 PM, Happy Cruiser 6143 said: An excellent book. I would say required reading if you're going to do a Panama Canal cruise. You will get a lot more out of cruising the Canal if you've read the book. Agreed. Absolutely essential reading prior to one’s first Panama Canal cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually shoot in Auto and then play around with settings. I personally find that an iPhone over exposes photos and need a little tweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 25, 2021 Author #2114 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Last night was the last Chic night. The mood has been high on this special evening and so much energy. We had pre-dinner drinks with Jack and Suzanne in the Retreat. They were off to a comped dinner at Tuscan (Blue Chip Club) and we chose Luminae.

Rare hcat Posted September 25, 2021 #2123 Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Another outstanding photo. What a handsome couple.! Have you ever thought of putting together an art book? I am an avid gardener and thought I might do a small photobook or calendar of my favorite flower/ garden pics....would help clear out my phone and tablet galleries. Have made photobooks of family events but this might be fun too. We stopped making cruise photo albums yrs ago and ,need to thin those out, . Hard to part with.. they captured so many memories, Edited September 25, 2021 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
