We all tend to take the camera for granted, so for this holiday I am also trying to sketch and paint some of the images that mean something special on our trip. It’s a ‘days gone by’ sort of thing. But it’s also pretty hard as there is so much to do, so it’s inevitable that some of the paintings will be done when we get back.
I have tried to learn how to use my new camera, and last night I managed to take a shot of the Jazz Quartet without flash in the ‘Ensemble Lounge’ at 11pm with dimmed lights. I set the White Balance to Tungsten Light and the ISO to 3200 and I must say that the image is pretty special. In fact I am well chuffed.
Mind you not all images have been captured, and these will have to be confined to my memory section:
I was in the gym doing my walking thing very early in the morning when I noticed the Rock of Gibraltar. That was pretty amazing, but then the Pilot boat approached our ship, followed by a shoal of 30 or so dolphins that sort of shadowed us into the harbour.
The scene looking out from Deck 12 and the dolphins made for a great image folks. This is why there is no picture with this Blog Post. Just think of the thrill of seeing the sea life. Add to that the pilot boat drawing near and the dolphins shadowing the Celebrity Eclipse into dock as it slips past ‘The Rock’. Brilliant, simply brilliant and no wonder why we want to come back.
