Travel surprise

When i traveled to Nebulus 3 last week, i decided to take the express shuttel “Hurrican” to reach the Warp-drive equipped starship which normally docked near Saturn. As you know, it is not allowed to initiate warp engines near planet Earth. Thanx to the environmentalists …. While hopping with the Hurrican thru space, quite boring, i read several magazines when we finally reached Saturn and the sweet robotervoice announced our soon arrival. I took the chance to catch the last picture from Saturn. So i took out me wondercam and looked thru the window…. uhhhhhhhh what a surprise. An angel right in front of me, gliding on her golden wings thru the stars, like the Silver Surfer ….. and i looked into her face and she looked at me and i was lost in her deep brown eyes … just a second so i thought. When i came back to reality, 3 hours were thru and i missed my starship to Nebulus 3. My anger went away as i read in the News that he starship to Nebulus 3 had an severe accident: A massive blast of sunwind hit the ship and all electricity failed. Some guest were injured as well and the ship lost its engine power. It was towed back into the docks for repair. I was so lucky … my guardian angel saved me from that situation !

“Sweetheart, this cruising ship is amazing. I really enjoy sitting here in the sun looking onto the blue sea. Come on, take some nice pictures.” You see ?? You understand ?? Fxxxx is again in your head, no relax, no refreshment. But you hear yourself saying “Sweet idea, darling, wonderful as you said ” and you grab your camera with a deep big grin in you face while sitting in your chair put it overhead and KLICK here we have it.

a wonderful and unusual picture. Both are served. And another thing just happend. You got appetite of doing more such pictures. Now go, walk thru the ship always looking for unusual views.

Sometimes you just stand in front of them. You just have to LOOK and arrange it a bit in your viewfinder.

It is so easy, you can even do it with a P&S camera. No hightech cam needed. Just your feet, your eyes and a bit of taste. So have have fun and use your vacation for unusual pictures. They will find their place in your photobooks and your guests after the travel will see them with open eyes and open mouths…..

And dont forget the view onto the blue seas….. All of them could be done with a simple and cheap P&S cam. Keep this in mind. But look out. In some cases, with bright and shiny parts or bright white areas you may dial in a + Compensation, perhaps +1 or +1.5 EV. No tricks, no miracles, no massive post processing. Have fun.
