QUEEN MARY RETURNS!

On Saturday morning, August 12, the R.C.S. QUEEN MARY returned to the water for the first time since June. It was her milestone 10th voyage. The voyage was an opprotunity to test a new way I discovered to avoid that bright overexposure of the images I have previously experienced. I adjusted the camera on the external controls to make the images darker as they are captured. Unfortunately, this worked too well at times, but I managed to get alot of good pictures.

This was also the second co-op voyage between the Zuiderdam and Queen Mary. The Zuiderdam displayed dramatically superior speed over the Queen with her recent major rebuild.

I also got some great black and white and sepia pics of the Queen Mary as you can see. The weather was not too hot and it was a great feeling to see the Queen, my favorite ship, back on the water!
