This is the same master who is under investigation for two murdered crew aboard the Sage Sagittarius.
He is a Phycho-path and should be charged with murder,but shipowners/charterers are above any kind of law..disgusting !http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-01/letters-reveal-bullying-gun-smuggling-on-ship-of-death/6510516

The arguement that `oldie` photographs are copyrighted..when these pix were taken `copyright ` was not even invented ..get a life and respect our elder sailors for uploading our heritage..nuff sed..

« on: July 31, 2015, 11:11:32 AM »

For my Photos I use `Photoscape`,free-ware and simple to use to enhance/straighten/resize etc..also Picassa 3..also free....
For my vids I use Magix Video Easy and Microsofts in-built movie maker..also I use a cheap program for video Stabilisation from `Muvee`...There is a lot of free-ware out there, and finding an easy to use interface program is the key..for me..

Seems to me that standards of seamanship..have been slipping for at least the past three decades..once national flag carriers such as Australia ,Norway,Britain and many more first world countries had well paid ,and fully trained seaman..I myself went through 6 years of training to be an A.B..fully competant in everything  from splicing wire  rope to being mud pilot at a moments notice..the rot set in when financial arguements outweighed common sense and flagging out was the in-thing..to the dismay and loss of lively hoods for many fine sailors..and not only "down below'..the amount of RAC,s(Radar Assisted Collisions) by unqualified Third mates and Masters is yet another nail in the coffin of the professional Seaman..(a steady light you see in front-full ahead and ram the ....)

Greetings Petros..As a videographer myself, I submit my vids not so much as quantity but Quality ?
of course viewing is a matter for the person viewing the vid..some may like.. some not..its a personal thing,The video section is just as relevant as the photo section..and I would love to see a comment section on the vids as well as the photos..what do you think?
