Live From the May Repositioning Cruise

[Lisa F]

As promised, here's the animated GIF of the Magic entering Gatun:

Unfortunately, this was as far as I got because I got bumped from the Webcam Oh, and Photobucket seems to have made the image really, really small I'd gladly e-mail the file to someone else if they have a site they can post it to.

Hopefully, this won't happen this afternoon as she goes through the Miraflores locks since maybe more people will be at work. I figured that every Disney fan throughout the world was logged on at the same time (who us )

great minds think alike. As soon as DH has it public I will post the animation that he made.

I was waiting for my turn at the internet machine when Peter called me over to see the webcam photos... how cool is that. I just got through taking photos out on deck while passing the Gatun locks and am thrilled to see the webcam captures.

I'm there,... on Deck 9.

As promised, here's the animated GIF of the Magic entering Gatun:

I haven't posted for ages, since we were closed down on the other site. I decided that I wanted to stay away from all the vitriol and hatred - we had so much fun together I didn't want to spoil the good feelings I had for everyone. I made the decision to just lurk and not post. However, today, after seeing the wonderful photos that have been posted, I can't help but join in and say thank you so much from this side of the pond. I really feel ready to jump in again! I've really missed you guys! Sorry I stayed away so long.

Okay, here is our animation. He caught every camera refresh and it is expecially cool where the lock doors are opening:

StuartMi - THANK YOU, thank you so much for capturing and posting the images, unfortunately I missed this time at the Gatun Lock, but I will be sure to look for it the Miraflores lock. Does anyone know what time I should start checking the cam, here in CO? (mountain standard time), I got confused on all the time postings. TIA

 

[winotracy]

check it out at about 11:30 mountain time.

Lisa - that is so cool, thank you.

Winotracy - thank you so much!!!

Awesome, Lisa. Allen, you did good.

All of y'all on the ship., please post and let us know what is happeneing between the locks? Deck party? Is everyone thinking it's too hot to be outside?

 

[chasbos]

Lisa F - wow, that was great to watch in real time! You people are so good with technical things!

The Magic was beautiful.

Lisa,
How did you capture the webcam image's? I tried the Right click thing but never got the menu.....

If the one you did this morning is any indication of what is to come this afternoon, we're all in for a nice treat. Thank you!

 

[lwilliam]

thank you so much.
beautiful.
(shouldn't admit this - everyone is so 'techy' with their computer - i'm
afraid of my digital camera )
thanks again - Lucy.

Thanks to everyone doing the capture shots. All I can say is WOW, I wish I was there. So cool to actually see shots of the Magic in the Canal. I love Web cams. Kathy

 

[Lisa F]

Thanks, Allen just lurks but he is reading your compliments!

He basically figured out how to get the .jpg from the webcam to display by itself and wrote a script to capture the image every 15 seconds... he played with the times to make sure he caught every image (he was missing about half of them when he used a 30 second interval because of how long it took to load) and then ran it through a program to create the movie.

I posted a link directly to the .jpg image in an earlier post. Here is a direct link to the JPG for the Miraflores Locks. This image does NOT auto refresh like the web cam so you have to hit your refresh button, but it is a bit easier to save it than having to do a screen capture and photoshopping it.

THAT WAS OUTSTANDING!! I am so happy there are people like you guys out there.I would never have gotten see that otherwise they keep me a little busy at work. I really can't wait for Aug now

LISA F THANK YOU !

 

[WDWLVR]

Lisa - that was awesome! DH is at work and I know he's going to love this!

 

[Towncrier]

Here is a link to my post with the Disney Magic going through the Gatun Locks. The animated GIF image is 1.5Mbytes and may take a long time to load. That's why I put it in a separate thread. Enjoy.

It looks like LisaF's DH is much faster at this than I am. I knew that I should have stayed home and finished the animation before driving to work.

I hope that your DH can capture the Magic on the other webcam(s) because unfortunately I have a meeting this afternoon and won't be able to babysit my computer.

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I have been lurking through this entire thread, wishing in my heart I could be there too! Thanks to everyone who has loaded up pics. It has been amazing to watch. Many thanks!

 

[Cruise04]

Looking at the Miraflores webcam right now and it appears they moved the camera!!!! Does that seem like the case to everyone else?

BTW - AWESOME job to everyone who has captured the images and shared them with us. I started seeing it this morning and then had to leave the house. Darn it, they need to make wireless travel!!!!!! I could have driven my car with the laptop on my lap!!!! ROFL

Thanks again everyone
