Your Adventure Awaits On A Cruise Ship

August 3, 2012 by

Article by Chonticha Marijne

When most of us think of the words cruise ship, we envision the Love Boat or the Titanic. Well, not all the time, but often that’s the first thing that comes to mind. Actually, a cruise ship doesn’t have to be that big, and many countries have their own cruise ship lines. A cruise ship is also called a luxury ship, but that doesn’t mean that only rich people can sail on her. You may not find Gopher or Doc on board, but a cruise ship offers a unique way to travel at a slower pace so that you get to know your fellow passengers and are able to intermingle at various venues provided by cruise ship activity and entertainment directors. Airline or train travel doesn’t allow for such pleasures, nor does driving. For anyone who hasn’t been on a cruise ship, adventure awaits!

A cruise ship is also called a passenger ship and is used for those seeking a pleasure voyage to various destinations around the world, from Tahiti to Rio, to the Canary Islands and Hong Kong. Today, a cruise ship line offers the best in travel comforts and perks. With a cruise ship, the entertainment on board is as important as the ultimate destination, and most cruise ship lines will make sure to schedule exciting events that will entertain various age groups.

The very first cruise ship built expressly for the purpose of transporting vacationers from Point A to Point B was called the Prinzessin Victoria Luise. She was built in 1900. So began the age of transatlantic transportation that hit a rough spot after the sinking of the Titanic. Following that accident, Albert Ballin, the manager of Hamburg-America Line, made it a point to send his cruise ship captains across the North Atlantic is the worst winter weather to prove that the ill-fated sinking of the queen of all liners was not the norm, but rather an isolated incident. He succeeded, and other shipping lines followed his example.

A cruise ship is equipped to withstand bad weather and is capable of sailing great distances to exotic ports of call or down your country’s coastline. One of the most popular cruise ship destinations for world travelers is the Alaskan cruise, which offers delighted passengers sights and sounds that can’t be seen anywhere else.

There are many different kinds of cruise ship, and some are large, which others are only moderately so. Most come with affordable small to medium sized cabins, and a cruise ticket will generally include all the food and entertainment on board as well as tickets to events or locations listed on the ships port of call sightseeing lists. A cruise ship offers hotel style living, fine dining and even theatrical entertainment all in one place. Some cruise lines offer a cruise ship geared more toward the younger crowd, like Disney, while others offer nothing but exquisite elegance. Which cruise ship you choose will not only depend on your tastes, but your pocket book as well.

Four large cruise ships graced Southampton Docks on Saturday 19th May 2012. Three belonging to Carnival UK. The first of the four ships to set sail at 16:00 hours was ‘Princess Cruises’ “Grand Princess” from Berth 38/The ‘QEII’ Terminal. Also, ‘Royal Caribbean International’s “Independence of the Seas” surprised everyone by leaving Berth 101/The ‘City’ Terminal thirty minutes earlier than planned. This ship usually departs at 16:30. Then at 16:30, “Aurora” cast off her moorings from Berth 106/The ‘Mayflower’ Terminal but had to go up to the Turning Point by the KGV drydock due to her being moored starboard-side to. Finally, whilst “Aurora” was turning, “Azura” departed from Berth 46/The ‘Ocean’ Terminal.

Night Club Photography

August 2, 2012 by

Article by Paul Knebel

Night club photography is perhaps the hardest type of photography the ‘everyday’ photographer can do. The lighting in a night club is impossible to control as unlike in a studio, the photographer is not in control.

Night clubs, particularly in Manchester (Where I take pictures) and other major clubbing cities, love photographs of their clubs and people enjoying themselves. These are the best people to market your night club photos to, they are likely to give you free access and more perks just for being a photographer, read more…

Although I prefer Indie music and bands, to take the largest variety of photos I need go in as many night clubs as possible. This is easier than it sounds as most promoters love photographers to come into their night clubs as they act as a form of free promotion; Myself and the photographers that I employ (voluntarily) are able to get into most night clubs in Manchester by using my company name, xoog.net, which is a known name in the local night club industry. Using a promotional site like xoog isn’t required however it always serves as a backup; There should be a similar company in your area that will be guaranteed to be looking for more photographers, however if there aren’t feel free to get in touch and you could take pictures yourself under the name.

Shutter PriorityTv Mode on Canon cameras, Shutter priority allows you to manually select your camera’s shutter speed. It is best to use this mode in night club photos because a trained photographer will know that Aperture priority (Av mode on Canon cameras) will hold the shutter open for too long and your photos will result in lens shake.

Hand shake will be an issue with night club photography as you are unable to use a tripod. However the traditional rule (on non-IS lenses) is that your shutter speed should be close to that of your focal length. For example if i was taking a picture at 18mm then my shutter speed should be about 1/20s. I beg to differ. I feel that the minimum shutter speed for a camera is 1/8s, yes… that slow. I tend to range my shutter speeds between 1/4 and 1/8, very rarely venturing as fast as 1/30s or even 1/60s for dancers, etc.

ISOThe ISO rating you use should be set as high as possible. Trial and error is important because if you set the ISO too high, not only do you get a large amount of noise, but undesired lighting seems to ‘leak’ onto your subjects. I stay around the ISO 400 mark however ISO 800 is generally feasable, although skin tones degrade, I reserve ISO 1600 for pictures of the general crowd to make the scene more vibrant. I believe the ISO is heavily dependant on the camera and lens though as my good friend has a Canon 5D accompanied with an L glass lens, he prefers to shoot at ISO 100 (which would be near-impossible for me in low light conditions).

In conclusion – ISO, Shutter Speed and FEC should each compliment each other. For example if somebody is dancing fast and you would like to take a relatively still photo, you would increase the speed of your shutter, and compensate for the darker image with a higher FEC or ISO. However more detail about this would be another article about night club photos, which I plan on writing.
