Continuing a theme I started more than two years ago in Antigua, this photograph of Carnival Freedom leaving Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) for St. Thomas shows how it dominates and contrasts with its surroundings. The earlier photographs are not yet on this site but I hope to remedy that in due course. 200_P1000514

On this beautiful January Saturday afternoon, Carnival Freedom and Celebrity Eclipse were third and fourth of six ships to leave Port Everglades for St. Thomas and Oranjestad respectively. 200_P1000502

Carnival Freedom, seen leaving Port Everglades for St. Thomas, was the third of six ships to depart on this January Saturday. This shot gives some idea of how smaller vessels buzz around the departing cruise ships and includes Celebrity Eclipse which was bound for Oranjestad and followed Freedom out of port. 200_P1000499C

Carnival Freedom, seen leaving Port Everglades for St. Thomas, was the third of six ships to depart on this January Saturday. In the more documentary shots, like this, I have concentrated on the sky and lighting. I hope cruise ship enthusiasts will like this. 200_P1000498

Carnival Freedom, seen leaving Port Everglades for St. Thomas, was the third of six ships to depart on this January Saturday. This is something of a crossover shot in what I have recently described as a mixture of documentary and more compositionally pleasing shots. In the more documentary shots I have concentrated on the sky and lighting, as here, but this also contains other elements such as the Jet Blue A320 which was one of a steady stream of inbounds to FLL during my ship watching. 200_P1000496

Captured during the departure of Carnival Freedom (centre) for St. Thomas, this panoramic view of Port Everglades includes Celebrity Eclipse(left) which sailed for Oranjestad after Freedom and (right) RCCL Oasis of the Seas which would be the last of the day's six ships to depart, for Nassau. 200_P1000495C

Cruise ships feature widely in my photostream. My rather challenging ambition is to photograph every ship in each port it visits. I am unlikely to achieve that but it is helped by my own travels. Many of the pictures will be purely documentary but I hope too to bring a little variety of composition to the subject(s). While we were watching the six ships which departed Port Everglades on this Saturday afternoon, there was a steady stream of aircraft approaching runway 27R at FLL. In this busy view, a Virgin America A320 is seen with Carnival Freedom, Oasis of the Seas and Celebrity Constellation. The Carnival ship will depart for St. Thomas, the Royal Caribbean giant to Nassau and the Constellation to Key West. 200_P1000477

There are a lot of cruise ships in my latest postings but then I was on a cruise vacation and they are one of my main subjects. I continue to try to provide a mixture of documentary images - ships frequently change identities and areas of operation - and others with more compositional merit. Weekends are busy at Port Everglades with six ships on both days on the last weekend of January 2014. In this view, Crown Princess slips away towards Princess Cay past Carnival Freedom which will be the next to depart for St. Thomas. 200_P1000460

In this weekend view at Port Everglades, Crown Princess is under way to Princess Cay, Bahamas and will soon be followed by Carnival Freedom which was destined for St. Thomas. 200_P1000468
