Thanks to our German fellow shipspotters.

And lets hope people don't start speculate from what they see on the footage.
Maybe we should stop uploading video too, because we don't want all these stupid noobs on this forum speculating or having an opinion based on nothing.

Whahahaha


Cheers Fred

Does anyone know why Carlo Magno, Anglian Earl and Fairmount Expedition are heading south-west again?
After inspection today, it also seems that she is carrying a large amount of Nitromethane.

Update: It seems they are riding out a storm.

I stopped watching videos on Shipspotting. Only every now and then I watch one and most of the time they dissapoint me for reasons I mentioned before. So if your videos are blurry, unsharp or following ships for 5 to 10 minutes or shot without tripod, I will most probably don't like them. This is my personal opinion. You are free to make video as you like.
I will try to upload in a reasonable time, lets say 2 hours after the last video was uploaded.

Cheers Fred

I too post my video's without looking how long before the previous video was uploaded and mine are also gone in sometimes 15 or 30 minutes even by Mr Psarras :-), but that's okay with me.
My problem is the bad quality of many video's or the fact that we have to look at the same ship for 5 to sometimes more then 10 minutes, how utterly boring.10 second tilt/shift videos are also quiet boring and not worth looking at. Shipspotters who don't use tripods when filming and extreem zooming with blurry and unsharp video as a result.
Panning should only be done with very good tripods, most times I try to avoid it.
Don't take this all too personal, maybe try some of my advise in your next video.

Cheers Fred
