Ship-Photo: In high places
http://solentships.blogspot.com/2014/05/in-high-places.html
Ship-Photo on the Book of Face. Saturday, 17 May 2014. Photos from Culver Down last week. Click for largest size. I was going to go to Portsmouth for the departure of Voyager at 1500, then to Cowes for the departures of the six cruise ships in Southampton today. In the end, I didn't bother with either and watched the (very entertaining) FA Cup Final instead, because of feeling ill (I strongly suspect a recurrence of a liver problem from just over three years ago so off the booze for a bit). Unofficial P&...

Ship-Photo on the Book of Face. Friday, 31 May 2013. Hanseatic at Cowes, 31st May 2013. The small Hapag-Lloyd cruise ship was visiting Cowes today and due to depart from there, via the Nab, at 1130. My friend Patricia. Was coming over to photograph the ship, as it wasn't going up to Southampton, so I arranged to meet her at the Red Funnel vehicle ferry terminal at East Cowes. Southampton Water, 30th May 2013. Tankers at Fawley, L-R: Nansen Spirit, Patagonia and Bro Anna. I'll give it a chance, of course,...

Ship-Photo: Changes

Ship-Photo on the Book of Face. Monday, 19 May 2014. I am going to close this blog - although it won't be deleted, it just won't be updated after today - and perhaps my Twitter account, too, and just post to my Flickr and Facebook pages (links to these are at the top of the page) and website. With Twitter, this blog, the website, Flickr and my Facebook page, it's overkill and has got. All views are my own. A note about the photos - please read. If you want the photos for commercial reasons, either for on...

Ship-Photo: Newcastle, NSW
http://solentships.blogspot.com/2014/04/newcastle-nsw.html
Ship-Photo on the Book of Face. Sunday, 13 April 2014. Newcastle is 101 miles north of Sydney and is an easy train ride (just under three hours and no changes) from Sydney Central Station. From there, you can walk straight to the waterfront and see the berths and anything on the move, which will come straight past you. Unfortunately the weather was a bit overcast and grey, although at least it only rained a little, with some drizzle early one afternoon. View Newcastle NSW ship photography spots. That was...

Ship-Photo: February 2014
http://solentships.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Ship-Photo on the Book of Face. Sunday, 23 February 2014. I didn't take a camera with me simply because I have a recurrence of a shoulder injury sustained after a fall at home late last year and lugging a DSLR and lens(es) to and around the show and back didn't appeal. As it was, there was not much on the move. So, it's going to be a bit wordy but light on pictures I'm afraid. I know I'd be a blubbering wreck long before the end. I couldn't believe my ears. Seriously? I know the Americans as a nation are...
