There are rather a lot of exterior lights!
The photos don't show how cold it was...
Her maiden voyage to the Christmas Markets is certainly a cruise (whoops, its Cunard, so voyage!) I'd like to do.

There was almost a move to ban use of the word Christmas, so as not to offend other religious sensibilities during the "festive season."

There is quite a tight turn at the Isle of Wight to clear a sand bank called "The Brambles", most large cruise ships sail as "clear channel vessels" and display the 3 lights.There is no draft issue in Southampton for modern cruise ships.
Hope this makes sense!
I would like to know what settings you took them on such as apature and exposure and iso sensitivity.
I am a big fan for night photography and you may have seen my albums on this site already.
I always use a tripod and go for low sensitivity and long exposure. like F5.6 on ISO80 for 8 seconds.
I find a higher apature I get sharper photos.
My camera is a Canon EOS 10D (soon to be joined by a 20D).
I like night shots as they put a different perspective on the subject.
Thanks once again to everyone for the kind comments.

It was a special item on the TV news - as there was too much mist, they showed images of her model in one of the lounges to show her as she wasn't visible outside on the quay !
The news had also a nice tour of the ship, with the atrium, and the queens room, dining room, and a bit of explanation of the theatre.
Nice to see.
Cunard knows to get in the News.
(BTW is it pronounced "kyoenard", or "kannard" ? the two newspresenters had different prononciation.)
