View from the house

As you have seen the spiral staircase leading up to our bedroom (in this weeks competition) I might as well show you the view from there a few days ago:


K20D, Sigma 70-300/4-5.6 APO DG Macro @108 mm, 2 s, A8.0, ISO200. This is a new ship that was named AIDAbella two days ago. First cruise ship this year.

Wow thats a fabulous shot. The moon really sets off the whole composition. Pin sharp i'm speechless.

I liked the spiral staircase, but I like the view more! As Clarky says the moon just sets it off. Maybe you should send it to the cruise line


Oh and Clarky - it's time to update your signature. Again

Thanks for the reminder Gwyn i will get on it

I find myself just staring at your shot Prieni. I just love it.

Glad you like it.
On the moon I have to make a confession : It was overexposed in this shot so I took another shot, exposed for the moon and mounted the moon from that one in this one.
I hope this didn't spoil the shot for you...

Prieni

Not at all, we'll look on it as an HDR version
It adds to the photo. Sometimes the moon is so obviously added after it is painful to see, but in this case all I can say is well done!

Nice photo Prieni and I can't see a problem with your editing the moon. Shame that on a brand new ship one of the light bulbs already needs changing - perhaps you could add that in too

Steve

Well spotted, Steve!

I'll have a look at that, could be that there is just something in front of it... But I guess you are right that one of them is gone. Should have taken LED lamps...
