A mad overnight dash from Hull to Oban for the day - postcard type view of the ferry arriving.

Not because of the ship itself, but because I managed to get her sharp with a 1/40 shuttertime, needed to get motion in a fast going boat. Note the blurred buyo behind her.(like shooting a racing car which I do as an unpaid job).


Edit: I was unable to follow Cody's instructions how to make the image directly visible. I can find my image on my, I can rightclick,but then all the options that are available appear in Dutch, and I do not know which one corresponds to Cody's instruction. I am sure more people working from another country may face the same problem.

For me it was about two oldies that finally bowed out


PRINS JOACHIM, which left northern Europe after 36 years of service. And then of course ATLANTIC CONCERT, which departed Hamburg straight for the Beaches of Alang: http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2509788

For me I think it would be this photo of the YASNYY (IMO 8422242) among all I took of her during those days, not in my uploads though.  These Neftegaz-type AHTS are among my favourites & I've been chasing to see what's available of them for me since like 2001 when I first saw the NEFTEGAZ-51 & fell in love with her looks right away. I think this is the best & the closest sight I could get of these ships.
Regards,
Denis

I chose this one because I had not expected there to be enough light.  But my Nikon D5100 and Picasa plus some patience by me achieved this result from the ray of light that fell on the ship

Thanks for the idea Cody

Hi Clyde, it is a very nice shot, but you could have saved yourself some light problems and work if you had put the camera at ISO 400 instead of 100. Additional noise would be hardly visible, as there are no skies in the background. FYI, I mostly set my camera at between 400 and 800 just to make sure to have enough aperture (7.1 minimum) certainly during the wintertime that we are suffering now from at this part of the globe..

That's a great story Jens.  Well understood by all Shipspotters!

You lived to tell the tale so you must have driven safely on the two hours drive to Cuxhaven! And back.

I'm torn between two pics, both of the same ship in what was the final year of shipping at the Port of Onehunga, where "Westport" was far and away the Port's most frequent visitor in its entire history - refer to my website www.ultimatenzsoccer.com/Onehunga

The two pics are:

I guess it's this one, at least I took a trip to Taiwan to get it... :)
