Beautiful nighttime pictures. i have to ask, what camera did you use to take them. My nighttime exposures usually end up blurred and not crystal clear like yours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more importantly, I've been taking night skyline photos for a long time (10+ yrs) and have spent many hours learning and refining the process for getting the most out of the photos I get with post processing software. I do have my misses too like my smeared night shots of Icon of the Seas sailing away just a few minutes before these were taken. By the time I realized what was wrong it was too late to change my settings and correct, the ship had literally sailed! I blame the food coma after eating too fast in the buffet and then running outside for the sailaway. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if I spent less time reading conspiracy theories online and focus my attention more on useful hobbies I too could....who am I kidding? I'll stick to my conspiracy theories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted February 9 #181 Share Posted February 9 @PistolPete13 Thank you. For years I carried a SLR / Digital SLR with me and even a few times took a tripod as this was the only way to ensure a steady platform to take long exposure photo's. Over time this became a burden so now I just use my cell phone and pray for the best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, plus built in stabilization on the camera body or lens, allowed me to handhold at a shutter speed high enough to minimize shake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to go with plan B and get a ride directly to the Brooklyn port vs my original plan of taking the ferry from Wall St. At these temps the less time I spend outside the better! Checked and rechecked that I have all my paperwork. Cargo pants are a must for embarkation day given how full your hands are with luggage. Hopefully my next post will be at the pier! Hi, Pistol Pete: Loved your review, but I have a question about getting a ride to the terminal. Google Maps is confusing. If I am taking an Uber from my hotel in Prospect Park, can the driver drop me off right at the terminal, by pier 12? It looks like a private road, and I have two pieces of roller luggage. Thanks!

Of course, depending on the traffic situation, you can always jump out a bit early if there is a jam right up front but I saw some workers good about waving traffic along.
