Cruise Ship "Smear"

05 May 2020 10 5 430
Taken when we lived in Maui. We could see the ships coming and going from Kahului Harbor, while sitting on our lanai. This was the "Pride of Hawai'i", leaving the harbor. We did not have any fancy digital camera at the time, so just set a long shutter and let the ship make a "smear". An item for "Abstract" Sunday Challenge More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p and swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

San Francisco at Night

05 May 2020 7 1 364
Taken from our cruise ship as the sun set on this amazing scene. We had a Kodak point-and-shoot with no low-light capability, so set the shutter to 1/4 second. Had to use the railing of the ship to brace. More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Green Flash During 2016 Pacific Ocean Cruise

08 Oct 2016 12 8 570
We've had the pleasure of seeing a number of "green flash" events, including my wife having seen a "green flash sunrise". Most of the time, we were unable to photograph these events. In this case, we were crossing the North Pacific in October 2016, and had our cameras ready. For the Sunday Challenge, I figure that there is a LOT of fluid in the photo, primarily the Pacific Ocean.
