To take your mind off the recent events in Japan, where Queen Mary 2 is currently safe and sound, sailing on her World Cruise, here is a compilation of sunrises and sunsets taken while on the Caribbean Calypso cruise this January. Although I missed the first morning's sunrise, sleeping in after a few long nights of packing for the trip, I set the alarm and got up for every other sunrise. It was completely worth it. Taken with my Nikon D90, bought last minute for the QE2 Farewell to the UK cruise, these photos are just a few of the over 5000 pictures I took. The Nikon was on my shoulder most of the trip and it really makes the person behind the lense look like a pro!
The "bit beneath the bridge" was the spot to be at sunrise for most of the trip, until we changed direction and headed back home. Every morning, I shared this spot with another fellow photographer that I had met back in New York before we even boarded the ship. We met taking bow shots at the Red Hook terminal, with a common interest; photography of a great ocean liner. He was German and spoke little English, but we exchanged a few words each morning as we were awestruck with our combination of great weather and ship. You can actually spot him in the video of the bridge shots while we approach Dominica. Don't ask me why, but we did not exchange email addresses.
Enjoy!
