Allure of the Seas December 14 review in photos

[PathfinderEss]

Enjoying your great photo's.

Photos fit great on my laptop.

Great photos. As we have an upcoming cruise on Allure your photos are helping until we can embark.:)

Sure thing. No flash on the dining room photos; for most shots, I used a relatively high ISO (anywhere between 1,000 to 2,500) with an aperture of 3.5 to 5.0. This kept the shutter speed to around 1/10th to 1/20th of a second which is good enough for hand-held shots on my camera thanks to its image stabilization system. I had to use a mini tripod for the dining room pictures on the Oasis as that camera didn't have stabilization. You can also slightly over-expose them to get a bit more brightness.

 

Thank you so much!! :)

That is a stunning shot. Please do tell how you managed it.

[LuCruise]

What awesome pictures. Am subscribing to your post in case you add more. We'll be going in April 2016 and your pictures are really getting me excited. Also great to see the kiddy pool as I couldn't tell what was there before.

 

Where did your cruise go?

I am really enjoying your photos, especially the ones of the ship. Love the unique perspectives, and this one is fantastic! I also really like the silhouette of all of the people at sunset right at the beginning. I'm looking forward to what comes next! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much for this great review. I am very excited to be there myself one of these days! Can I perhaps ask you a question? Is the ship rocking? I just read a review about people saying that the Allure is rocking a lot...

[kerrytens]

I have to add my 'amazing photo' comments too. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

 

They are all making me more and more excited for my November Allure cruise:D:D

Princessa7 - Yes, I did notice the ship moving about a few times but given the 50 mph+ winds, it's probably unavoidable. It wasn't bad or anything but certainly more than I experienced on the Oasis during the summer months.

We were on the Emerald Princess. I've got pictures of your ship from our ship in this port! LOL

 

Mine are nearly as good as yours!

[Vikstar]

Stunning photos!

 

Would you mind sharing the model number of the camera used - I am on the lookout for a new one for my next cruise.

That explains the carousel picture, it showed motion, but the nearby faces weren't that blurry.

loving these photos. as a fellow photographer myself I am wondering - what are you shooting with? camera/lens?

 

I wasn't sure if I should take my tripod with me on Oasis... based on your photos I'm thinking I might have to :)

What cabin is that? It looks very roomy. We are sailing March of 2016 and have a balcony and an inside. The pictures are picture by the way. Can view that on an iPad just right.

[playafly187]

BillOh - The faces aren't blurry simply because the people were standing still while the image was being captured.

 

Vikstar / photogpab - Nearly every shot was taken with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 with either: Panasonic 7-14mm lens, Panasonic 20mm lens or Olympus 12-40mm lens. The few others were with an E-M5.

The pics are vivid color and large size. They are some of the best I have seen.
