Photographer in NYC of cruise ships?

[Fogfog]

Does anyone know who the photographer is/was that took pics of the cruise ships leaving out of NYC are?

Years ago I'd see posts here on CC of gorgeous pics of ships - and sometimes of people on the balconies etc... so the pics were of the ship, and sometimes close ups of the folks sailing. Time taken etc. and the people knew when and where he'd be shoreside to take the pics.

It wasn't just one cruise line's ships. 

This could have been 10-15 years ago. 

Any idea who that was and their screen name?

Hi.  I did a few photos like this from my perch on Staten Island a few years ago when I was obsessed with ships. 
 

Nowadays there someone with a drone that gets amazing views of ships leaving NY harbor. 
 

I’ll include some links later when I’m on a computer.

Know you have been busy with your sailing, review, vid/pics etc.

Would love to know more about your pics of the ships leaving NY harbor

What would you like to know @Fogfog?  I went through a period of time during Covid where I wanted to get as many of the different cruise ships leaving NYC as possible.  I discovered the RCCL was the only line they left consistently on time!  I've linked to albums above with some of my photos during that time.

Thanks

I'll take a look

There was someone who took pix of pax on sail away--the ship and they'd be waving at the photog-- knowing where they were.. sailing of of NY.

Don't know if those were drones, or big lenses, it could have been as far back as 2015 that I am thinking of..since 2020 seems a lifetime ago (ha)

Wondering if anyone does that anymore

That was me, I took a photo of @Turtles06 during one of his NYC departures.  At that time I had a 36MP Nikon D800e and paired with a 500mm zoom lens you can make out some rough faces of people on the top deck of the ship is you zoom into the photo at 100% resolution.

That was a one shot deal for me as a fun challenge to see if it was even possible and to my surprise it was!

@Fogfog, I think you may be thinking also of this website (below) that tracks cruise ships from a number of ports. People screenshot images and post them to this board often.
