2012 Golden Princess Cruise To Alaska

Hello,
This gallery is dedicated to friends and family but it is also to camera fans at large. Please click on the individual thumbnail photo to make larger and kindly leave me a comment for my efforts if so desire. I feel my attempt for sharing these vacation photos has been rewarded via your time spent at this gallery. I am only an amateur photographer and I am aware of my substandard descriptions in English but I tried. I have been using digital camera gear for couple of years. Currently, I am using the Micro Four Thirds system, a Panasonic GH2 with the 14-140mm zoom lens. It is lightweight for travel and quite flexible for my need. Majority of the photos were shot during sudden encounters. Many times I was roaming on the Golden Princess cruise ship with no one or few people present, shooting through the window in the moving train, aboard a small harbor tour boat that rocked like in a musical rock concert, from my seat in a fast moving bus or on the airline through thick plastic windows. Good or bad I tried and I delivered the pictures. I work with Lightroom 4 and Photoshop 5 for post processing raw digital files. Many of the photos were of family fun shots by my wife, Diana, and many were my responds to a scene outside the balcony of our stateroom. I welcome your constructive comments. Thank you for your time and have a GREAT DAY.
Sincerely,
Min Mar – a life-long camera fan

For me from the hot dry desert region, this scene was very inviting to capture and to treasure the moody atmospheres

A beautiful object in the Hampton Inn breakfast room and I can not resist to be shutter happy. I just want to see myself within the reflections.

The Seattle's famous landmark, The Space Needle, was only a short distance away from our Inn. We did plan to have dinner in the restaurant at the top that evening but our daughter's plane was delayed so we passed.

The Golden Princess is on the way... Shortly the skyline of Seattle will recede to the far distance.

I handed my camera to our waiter to shoot this photo. His name is Angel who pampered us with great services. Our first informal dinner and we enjoyed the excellent food as expected.

More company in this part of the waters... A very dramatic sky but no storms as far as my camera can see
