Rare pierces Posted December 9, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well, here they are: http://www.pbase.com/pierce324/solstice08 What a ship! It definitely raises the bar for the rest of the industry. All-in-all a terrific time was had. BTW, Maho beach is on my permanent "Don't Miss" list! Enjoy!

pnut362 Posted December 10, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2008 wow! i just looked through all of your photos with my jaw gaping - those are amazing! my father did photography as his main hobby - he passed away when he was 32 and all I have left is the photos he left behind. i have recently started getting into photography - it just feels right to me. i have a good camera (not DSLR yet) and some accessories and an assortment of books. i am trying to teach myself everything but as you know its hard. i can only hope one day my photos are as good as yours - thanks for sharing!

Photography has been a hobby of mine for most of my life and my main hobby for the last 20 years. It relaxes me and the results (images) leave me happy and completely without a need for therapy. If a camera in your hand feels right, then by all means pursue photography. If it gives you a feeling of connection to your father, that's a big bonus. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos and I thank you for the kind words. Keep shooting and remember; the best photo isn't the biggest seller or the prize winner...it's the one you like! Happy shooting!

People usually avoid me when I'm lurking around taking pictures at oh-dark-thirty in the morning. I'm glad you didn't! Looking forward to your posting!

Rare pierces Posted December 11, 2008 Author #13 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ok.... :eek: I'm looking at the stats for the Solstice photos and they have received over 67,000 hits since noon yesterday. And wouldn't you know it, the pictures of the room and balcony have the highest hit count! It's nice to know that so many people are interested in this incredible ship and are enjoying the photos of her. If you haven't booked yet, clear your schedule!:D Again, thanks for all the encouraging comments. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheilaNC Posted December 11, 2008 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Dave, An amazing number of hits! I think it's because the word is out on the Celebrity boards with links to your pictures...expect lots more! Good for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do anything with the color balance in camera or post processing. WOW shots! Larry I just remembered to switch to Tungsten since my camera, like most, can't be relied on to figure it out on Auto. Once switched, it did great.

KJBBrett Posted December 20, 2008 #21 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I just spent the last 15 minutes just looking at St Maarten and have been literally taken away by your photos. I can nearly feel the jet blast from the planes! Inspiring is an understatement. Thank you very much for sharing your amazing talent with us. Wow.
