DCL Picture of the Day - Part 3

[nikkistevej]

Here's a recent one from our first night on the Magic. The ship in the distance is a Carnival cruise that left soon after us.

Awesome picture- it almost looks like a ghost ship.

WOW!! This is an excellent photo. Love how you captured lightening in the clouds.

I agree with everyone else, the lightning/ship shot is awesome!!

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! It was actually my first attempt at taking lightning shots, and since I didn't have a tripod, and was on a rocking boat, it was tricky to get shots that were fast enough to keep the images from blurring while still catching lightning in action. I actually lost one really great shot with the lightning hitting the ocean in the distance. But I managed several of these that turned out really well, I think, so I won't complain.

For today's, here's one of my favorites from the Lion King portion of the Disney Dreams show.

Great shot!

Our dramatic (see: lousy) weather on that cruise made for some great sunset/sunrise shots, didn't they!

I was wondering the same thing! Both her pictures and cdfl30 are so amazing that I hesitated even bothering to post shots on here. I was wondering if either were professionals...

Well right now I am a very flattered amateur photographer.

Thank you both very much. I would like to take pictures professionally one day, but I'm not there yet. I appreciate you both saying that so much though!!

Don't anyone hesitate to post pictures!! I enjoy looking at every picture, even the grainiest, most out of focus snapshots of DCL. They all bring back such wonderful memories, and everyone has their own unique perspective.

This is actually my favorite shot that you took. I think we need to track down the CM and give it to him for his portfolio.

BomaGreg - I absolutely love your pics! They're absolutely gorgeous!

I will chime in to say I prefer when the picture that is being commented on is quoted so I know what the comment is about. I can look at all these wonderful photo over and over and over again!!

Good point and I'm sorry if I was a little cranky yesterday... better today!

LOVE that shot - you are really very good - and yes I think I should be putting a feather in your cap...

Ya know, you're not the first person that commented on the "lousy" weather. We were on this cruise as well and I didn't find the weather to be lousy at all. Sure, there were a couple instances of brief showers and some lightning storms, etc. but when people have asked how the weather was, I've always answered "good". Just funny how different people's perspectives can be.

We were in a cat. 9, deck 2, midship and felt NO motion at all. I was also surprised to hear that people were a little seasick.

Actually, I didn't have a problem with the weather at all, but a lot of people I know were upset about it. Between the lack of a deck party and the rocking ship (which I think is great fun), a lot of people were bummed out. And I don't know if you noticed, but there was a lot of puking smells going on on 3 & 4, so I imagine those people weren't too happy.

I'm not much of an outdoor/pool/hot weather person, though, so bad weather just makes the sea look cooler. I enjoy just doing stuff on the ship. I was on a Dis cruise a while back that had our room portal going under water from time to time... THAT was cool.

Thank you! It was more luck than anything, much like most of my shots. My wife is the one with an eye for photography, I'm just the one who hogs the camera all the time, and sooner or later I'll get something decent.

And thank you to you, too!

How long have you been shooting? And did the eye just come naturally? Or do you take a LOT of pictures?
