What a ship! It definitely raises the bar for the rest of the industry.

 

 

Enjoy!

[BurgerBits]

Yowza!!

 

So... seriously, have you done ANYTHING other than crop, edit, arrange, and post photos since your return??? :D

 

THANK YOU so very much for your effort - really appreciated!!!

 

Happy Holidays!!!

[benbess]

You are an outstanding photographer!! Loved the pix of food, details, sunsets, etc. Great work. Would like to go on that ship!

Nice portfolio. What type of camera did you use?

Your camera angles were terrific! Thanks

 

the variety of furniture, nooks, artwork, rooms... on and on

is truly remarkable.

 

I cant see how anyone could get bored on this floating piece of art. Oh, where were all the people? it seemed rather sparse.

 

Cant wait!!

I shot mainly with my Sony A700. A lot of the casual shooting was done with a Canon SD800 pocket camera and the Lensbaby is mounted on the good ol' Maxxum 7D.

 

I tend to shoot early when touring the ship and during the daytime, I wait patiently for folks to pass. Not much of a people photographer, I guess.

 

Bored = haven't taken a photo in a while! ;) your assumption is correct; the ship itself is nearly boredom-proof.

 

Glad you enjoyed the photos.
