Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 22, 2016 Author #1142 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm up on the Solstice deck waiting for the one o'clock firing of the cannon..... a better view of the Cathedral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 22, 2016 Author #1143 Share Posted March 22, 2016 There may have been another third firing but Ben came out with a tale of being invited to fire the cannon as well and letting off a blank...... :eek: the first in the history of these ceremonial events. Someone asked earlier about ice cream in Oceanview...... Be careful with the container labelled Gluten Free..... someone was using tongs from another container to fish one out..... Sometimes my own dimness amazes me..... I was aware that the plates I had posted quite some time back of a Damien Hirst set were 6/12 but never thought to look for the other 6..... Found them just around the corner from the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoj13 Posted March 22, 2016 #1147 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I have been following your blog as we are doing Australia/New Zealand on the Solstice in October 2016. Its been booked quite some time, so I have been really interested in your postings. One thing is I'd like to comment on is your photos. They have been spectacular and whilst I may have missed any info on what camera you are using, I apologise in advance for asking perhaps again? I will never ever receive a 'photographer of the year' award as I'm only a point n shoot type, but would be interested to know what camera has produced these fine shots. It has indeed been a pleasure to 'join' you on your vacation and for that I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 22, 2016 Author #1148 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks for your nice comments. It's nothing exciting..... a Nikon Coolpix 12x 16.0 megapixel..... bought it on board Legend a couple of years ago when I'd dropped its predecessor in water in Copenhagen. :rolleyes: Point and shoot pretty much. Would like a better quality zoom and I should really study how to adjust the ISO for dark venues like the theatre on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
