Maritime Research and History / Older Dutch inland vessels
« on: March 02, 2024, 01:55:13 AM »
Although I do not undersand much about it, before (and it seems overlapping with) the IVR/ENI numbering, there was another system - I thnk called the "Brand" which was seemingly more port related.  Is there an explanation of this system somewhere (in Dutch is fine so long as I can let Dr Google loose on it)?
Is it possible to "decode" these?  Were there ever registers for them?

For example, with an apparent port of registry of Amsterdam, this former Dutch barge has "795 BLIED 1929"
I suppose that 1929 is when she was built or registered, but I do not understand the rest: https://www.shipspotting.com/photos/3683365

Anyone have the IMO number of Oceanco's big Y722? Their third longest, I believe.

I read that with newer digital cameras there is no need to shot in RAW format anymore.

a RAW format is comparable to negative from the analog age. It contains much more information than a JPEG (normal) digital shot, and can be used to further develop your image using for instance Photoshop, Lightroom or ACDsee. In my camera the typical size of a Raw shot is around 20mb, where a JPEG would be between 5-7mb. The extra Mbs are used to store the additional info which you can use for fine tuning your image. You will note that f.i. this site does not allow uploading of RAW images.

Cheers pieter, that's helpful. It was taken as the sun started to dip and a lot of spray in the air. It looked "arty" at the time. When you say RAW format what does that mean exactly? I've googled it but can't get my head round it.

probably a little, a "dehaze" function in your software would also help. I tried a little to get a better shot, but the backlight is killing. This is where a real good camera, with a large sensor comes into play, and shooting in RAW format too. But even then, straight into the sun, and during the period, the light will be your enemy.

Just prior to my deleting this. Would this benefit from a polariser/filter?

Shipping News and information / 70 years before drones
« on: October 27, 2021, 06:56:45 PM »
Skyfotos (since taken over by Fotoflite) in Kent started in 1946/7 and a decade on from then they had hired their first female photographer.
This sparked the interest of the "newsreels" of the day, that were shown between films at the cinema (colour) and on TV (in B&W), as here:

Ah, memories!

And for our Dutch/Flemish readers, an interesting article, also from 1959:
