    Exceptionally well done! It looks as if it's out of a science fiction movie of the future.

    You did well here to get the shot with no extraneous people. Great colours and capture of the sense of sparkle.

    Thanks all... I liked the image because the lines and colors seem to give it an abstract look. There are two people visible on the balconies between the two elevators.

    Canon 7D, 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lens at 17mm. ISO 320, 1/250 second @ f/2.8.

    The structure near the top of the shot is to support the arial acts which occur each evening.Elevator and surroundings

    Re: Elevator and surroundings

    Nope, occasionally I made it out to meals and very occasionally a show...

    But, this is what I tried to avoid...

    Elevator and surroundings

    I don't really like crowds and I come from San Diego where warm sun is not an occasional event between gray skies and drizzle; so laying in the sun just "ain't my thing"...

    I am sure that there are ships with bigger pools but, those ships carry more people also...

    I do know what you mean Richard. We've been on several cruises and they have become a bit formulaic. Our next excursion will more than likely be a river cruise because apparently it's a more interesting experience.

    Re: Elevator and surroundings

    Hubby and I were planning a river cruise via the Mississippi River last year (it went wayward btw) and so we mentioned it to some friends who commented that river cruises are mostly populated by old people. I don't know what happened after but we never went. Maybe hubby doesn't want to be called "old" or something...

    Re: Elevator and surroundings

    My problem with a river cruise is that I would want to hop off and shoot in many places and might not like the places that the boat stops. However, I would expect that this type of cruise (especially along Rhine or Danube) might be more interesting than a cruise on the ocean...

    I would love to return to Vietnam and a river tour of a couple of days would be one of the things that I would want. This one looks interesting...

    I spent a lot of time on the rivers of Vietnam with the American and South Vietnamese Navies. However, I strongly suspect that this type of cruise would be no where a exciting as my previous river travels...

    ....and where I suspect that the shooting was of an entirely different kind!

    Hi, Richard.

    You really did well with this. DoF is through and through. I can see into the shadows. Tell me about PP? There seems to be a hint of HDR processing applied?

    John 2...

    Most of my shooting was done with a 16mm motion picture camera. The guys around me were shooting the real stuff and the bad guys were often throwing stuff back at us.

    I had a companion wounded next to me (he was a still photojournalist) when an incoming round shattered the flash deflector of the river patrol boat's .50 caliber machine gun, peppering my buddy's face with shrapnel. His Leica M2 camera saved his vision. However, that was one dead Leica! Since it was a total loss, he was allowed to keep it as a souvenir. What a conversation piece on the mantel over his fireplace at home. (funny, I haven't thought about that episode in years) As far as me! I led a charmed life, 26-months in-country (on several deployments) and not a scratch However, I did get a bit of malaria, amoebic dysentery twice and hepatitis A. No purple hearts from them though!

    Marie...

    No HDR applied. I did a lot of the PP using Adobe Camera Raw, Photoshop CS6 and I also used NIK Viveza for localized corrections...

    That is exactly why my darling wife and our daughter are going a cruise to Hawaii without me this summer! My wife was given the cruise by our friends who are cruise booking agents. They actually gave us two cruise spots and offered the second one to me.

    Rather than telling them I had rather sit in a dentist's office for a root canal, than go on another cruise; I fibbed and said that I had to stay home and care for our dogs God, I love those dogs more and more each day Our daughter is taking the second cruise spot

    August of last year, when hubby and son decided to go to Australia, I opted out too with the same reason. Actually, I enjoyed myself with the doggies more...this year I don't have an excuse because sonny boy decided to stay home ahead of me to take care of the doggies. When I typed out the schedules of the dogs -- what time they go out, how many times a day, what treat to give them during certain times of the day, etc., -- he looked at it and complained to his dad that it looks like a full-time job... Hubby said "You don't bring home a dog and expect your parents to take care of it. IT IS a full time job!" I'm gonna missed my babies while I am away unless I keep myself busy...
