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

_1020490.jpg		 This plate of crab was part of my Harbor Cruise package that I signed up when the ship dock at Victoria, BC. It was cooked and delivered onboard by the crew of this boat. It marked my first attempt ever to eat a whole crab. It is freshly cooked with seawater from beside the boat and chilled in seawater by lowering it behind the propeller of this boat immediately after cooking. It was served with garlic butter on the side. One will never get a rare and unusually cooked and served onboard of a little boat as I was about to experience. DELICIOUS beyond description! I had lots of fun eating it and the other photos show how much I enjoyed it. The other photos of me were taken by CARYS, the pretty girl who waited on me.

 This is the pretty girl, CARYS. Thank you for taken photos of me horsing around with the live crabs and for contributing to my total enjoyment of my vacation! This photo was shot without flash in available light inside the tour boat that was rocking away.

Our Victoria Harbor Cruise Tour guide is Algebra. That's correct. She and her nameplate confirmed it. She told us many interesting historical and romantic tales about the architect, origin and the building of the fabulous BC capital structure. At the end of the tour, I ask for a shot of her and she invited me to her home for a spaghetti dinner. Of course I accept at once and immediately warned her that I will surprise her when knocking at her door someday. At that time the available light was low and I did not use the on-camera flash. I tried to hold the camera as tight as I could and to hold my breath. This pretty and fun girl gave me a heart stopping fun episode!

 When in Victoria, BC, Please take a HARBOR TOUR in this boat. The crews were most friendly and knowledgeable of their business.
