Excellent photo and as an extra you always can learn something new reading the comments. Nice!

I see your trip to Stavanger was a real success :-D

Yeah, it was a treat. 40 hours awake of different reasons. Heavy weather, nice people, some cool ships. I love it. This ship was a special treat though. I had nothing to do with the result. I just set up the tripod, moved it around a little, and there it was. Lucky man!

T

That's why there are as good as no nightshots posted by me. I haven't got a tripod! :-D
Isn't it quite laborious to drag it along all day when you're out taking photos? (At least when you go on a trip like Stavanger?)

Do that! You just try, and you learn. I havent got a clue. I try it out.
Good luck brother!

I think I'll be looking for a tripod in the future and try and experiment with my camera. (Sony DSC H9)
Maybe, if I succeed, I'll become a nightshot junkie :-D

But this works only if you do not take photos from the HVV-ferry, as that one does move alot. I have taken photos of Hamburg Süd ships by night / evening and then I have put my camera on something, which is steady and take the photo.

You put your camera on something which is steady at the ferry station Oevelgoenne?
What did you do? Knock out some passers-by and put your camera on top of them? :lol:

Ask my sister to stand steady and put it on her head :-D No, I did usually find something, a wall or so, where you can put the camera on, I did this with the Monte Pascoal

There is also this smart thing called a gorillapod, click here for info:

Gorilluspodus

Well done, the Monte Pascoal!
If you don't need your sister any longer tell her there's a job waiting in Hamburg for her! :-D (I'm always afraid my camera falls down if I'm not careful putting it somewhere to have a steady shot!)

The Goriilapodus looks very interesting. Thanks for the link, Tomas. Just saved it to my favourites for further studies later on.

That gorillapods sounds interesting but I do take too often photos when I am on ship, myself. Ah, no I still need my sister, she will be in good use in Hamburg, mid-February. But I have many cousins, so.. you'd just have to pay them flights from England, and USA though :-D

Then let's start with the English cousin! If I'm satisfied with the results we can talk about the American :-D

I see Tomas is no longer with us. Nevertheless sleep well both of you and good night. (My employer's got this annoying attitude. He thinks I should go to work tomorrow :-D )

Not the intention to over-crowd with comments, but if you like, here is a pretty naive picture made with my old cam and gorillapod.
Bohus at night

What's naive about that one?
I've seen much more worse on my own camera! :-D

What really makes it a very good photo is another thing: "Cold, dark, bohus". That did it (at least for me) :-D

Comments are like ship-pics: You can never have enough (even if they tend to drift away from the original subject after some time - the comments, not the pics! :lol: )

You got that right, brother. No, well. I like to respond to every comment, feel that its kind of a nice thing to do. But this gets sick, hehe! 30 comments!
Last "record".

Oops, you're right!
Had to change the mouse while scrolling up :-D

Ok then, last comment here now there's a new record.! Let's change to another photo to comment on. :lol:

I really must say i am very happy that people like these strange shots i am making. Thanx a lot for the comments!

Let them be strange, high quality, plain bad, exciting, boring, overexposed, too dark, whatever!
For me that's what this site is about... :-)

Very good point.

Dusk and morning rules. Black night aint to bad either but... The skies are best in the morning i think.
Try it out!

Thats just something i dont mind having around. 95 percent of my shots are done without tripod, but night/long distance is tripod a must.
Mine weith next to nothing. And its cheap! Well worth it.

I think with EOS400 you can take some good nightshots even without tripod. Just choosing the ISO and shutter speed right. Like I did yesterday with my father´s one, which is a bit older design but quite a similar.

Yeah, if you are somehow steady on your hand. But WITH a triåpd. things are different. But no doupt, no problem even without.

I could make night excursions here in Hamburg if I had one.
Maybe I should reconsider my opinion.
If there's a cruise liner in drydock at Blohm & Voss like Balmoral at the moment or Jewel of the Seas last year (my one and only nightshot which succeeded without tripod) it looks really gorgeous at night.

Nothing posh about offshore-vessels, but - that's a great atmospheric photo !!! :-)

Every dog has its day, hehe! Do you know the reason behind the expression "Posh"?

Well, what posh means, it is what the dictionary shows me and what is here associated with cruiseships and the alikes with good and expensive style, a place where rich folks spend their leisure times. Offshore Oilrigs I would not put in the same category, to be honest, otherwise I have missed something I think hehe :-D

Well. It hails from the english shipping-line P&O, penninsular and orienal, you know. The rich passengers on their way to india, wanted the best. So: They wanted port out, starboard home, because ofo the shadow. There you have it: Those with enough money and style, became the posh.

Port out, starboard home.

Made up very quickly that, hehe you have good phantasy !! And you know, English is NOT my motherlanguage..

Its the truth. Check it up.
Click and search

Beautiful getting night photos of this cool one. She even was once in Finland repairing a cable line outside Rauma.

Really? Yeah, she has been around here and there i know. I was just lucky with light, ship, surroundings. Everything. Very cool ship.
And that the helipad was illuminated did not do anything either!

Tomasoo

You were lucky indeed, the results are simply awesome.

By the way, am now also starting using EOS 400D. My old Olympus got completely broken on Wednesday.

Then you will have the time of your life. It takes sick shots. If you have the dollar for it, buy a 18(Or28)-200mm. Thats my next lens.
I have a 18-55 and a 75-300mm lens.
