Cheers! by maggiemae

Cheers!

At the end of a long day the sun sank into the Alaskan sea - a place of many islands and many fjiords and lakes, wooded forests and today - a sunken iPhone! It was in a remote bay where we had landed briefly.

This photo taken on the ship restaurant in a light I could not resist!’'

Three good things:
1. John’s iPhone slipped out of his pocket as he bent to get under the wing of the float plane! He didn’t swear, just looked a bit bomblasted! The good thing he is insured.
2. A good photo is not always assured - you have to wait till one arrives.
3. Only one more day of the cruise and we will arrive in Canada!
Great capture and lighting!

You have broken loads of "rules of how to take a good photo" here and ended up with a brilliant one. Excellent B&W. Sorry to hear of your Ooops moment.
May 26th, 2016  
Brilliant!!

Spectacular rim light ashot! FAV although it has already made it to the PP! Thank goodness for insurance.
May 26th, 2016  
@markp Mark, please tell me the rules and I will try!
May 26th, 2016  
@grammyn Well, its a state of never knowing but however, PP is not the biggest achievement for me - its the comments from friends like you!

Interesting capture and sad tale of a lost phone.

Sad about the phone, but hopefully he will get a newer one to replace it. This is a great reminder of your cruise. It has gone fast!

@chard OMG you're funny!

Gorgeous lighting captured, Maggiemae! (So when will you arrive in Halifax?)
May 26th, 2016  
@Weezilou Depends on time and opportunity, Louise. We may fly from Halifax to Boston about the 18th June.
May 26th, 2016  
@chard We did think of a funeral, Richard!
May 26th, 2016  
Great shot, really captured the atmosphere. Shame about the phone :-(
May 26th, 2016  
Great in b&w. Oh dear sad about the phone - I just had my phone show the blue screen of death then it just expired - I was devastated and definitely did use bad words and no insurance. What a great cruise you have had. thanks for taking me along through your photos.

@kiwinanna 'you're welcome' Liana! Thats what all the crew on the boat say about 20 times a day!

This is so full of atmosphere and character... wish I had taken it - Fav.
May 27th, 2016  
Excellent use of that glorious light :)
May 28th, 2016  
Nice shot with great lighting. Too bad about John's phone. I would be devastated and probably have a few words to say about it. Glad it is insured.
